Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower
Terp_Derpstarted grow question 3 years ago
I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems.
I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine.

Looked like one might of been cut slightly differently. Light stimulates growth. If you do not want the extra growth cut it off. Plant will be fine. It is just adjusting to being topped. So it will try growing any way it can. Good luck and nice little ones. Happy growing 🌱

I asked my aunt who is a botanist - she may be out to lunch as she has no experience with Cannabis, but she said:
"in the second one you probably didn't get all of the meristem or terminal growing point. took away some of the apical dominance but not as much as the other."

Hello don't worry your plant will work out fine . topping is stressfull for the plants maybe the second needs a bit of time to recover but we see you have 2 new branches so they will grow. Maybe when you cut the new stems were not devellop so much. It will just take time but your plants are healthy and you topped them good. Keep doing it great. Good job. Bye

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/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

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 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?)?
