Topping

OGSeshstarted grow question 2 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 🌱

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'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?

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?
