It's normally around the 4-5th node (sets of leaves) if it's a auto I wouldn't do it because they don't have time to recover properly.

You could top it now if you wanted but if you wanna play safe, wait for one more node pair to grow and then top.

Should I be starting LST. Been bending to get it used to it but not tied yetI feel like the topic is very controversial about when to start LST. Some say 3 nodes some say 6. Attached is a picture of my biggest girl so far. Lots of new growth this week so far but not the tallest yet. Open to hearing from the grow community thanksWeek 4

Weitere Pflege und TrainingEs wird immer mehr Blattmasse. Was kann bzw. darf bzw. sollte ich abschneiden?
Darf ich LST noch weitermachen und die Triebe noch in die "richtige" Richtung leiten?
Ab wann sollte ich den BlĂĽte-DĂĽnger verwenden?

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anythingHeading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far.
First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project.
Never had such a low lush profile.
Looking forward to FlowerWeek 8

Topping Training :)Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)Techniques. Topping
