Topping
OGSeshstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hi! How many main branches are best left after topping? In my last grow I left 8 branches (4 nodes) and it was too difficult to train them. Leaving 4 main branches in "plus" shape would be a good solution? Which option will save me more time (fast veg is important for me)? Thanks

Hello, You may fair better using mainlining rather than LST. I feel LST requires that little extra veg, for all the training that has to go on with recovery as well to be taken into account. I top and mainline in a 60x60. Usually have between 6-10 top colas. I find this easier in my small space as I can lower each branch down and use topping to allow the branches to make an even canopy. I really don't have the space to do LST properly or how I would like. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

Leaving 4 I think is enough and if u top to many times ur bud size will decrease

I usually do like a topping with a plus sign manifold looking grow. My fft's 7 and 10 have stem base shots. 10 is probably better I lost a branch on 7. For examples. I veg a lot longer, but it would likely be a option to look and see how they turn out that way. Happy growing 🌱

Also, I have an tent 70x70cm and many branches will not fit into it. I have read a lot of materials of lst and topping, but I cannot put all this information together in my head: c

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Topping/Cloning QuestionI am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.Setup. Clones

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?
