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.

Big green blisters lol
Are these from stressing the plant, or more sinister? I read somewhere that it might be a nutrient thing but I just want closure lol 👊 also quick question on when to put these bad girls into flower?

She's getting too tall!
2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart

Flowering and LST Tie-Downs
Now that she is flowering, do I remove my LST tie-downs? Or do I just leave them on and make sure her stems have plenty of room in the loops?

More or Less nutes and Molasses?
My first time grow and my autos are in flowering. I’ve been giving them grandmas molasses (half teaspn/1gal) every feeding along with her other nutes. She’s been taking them well, should I up the dose? Or feed every other watering?

Top her a second time?
Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

How can I make this better?
How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.
