I generally use 2nd and 3rd nodes when I top. Removing 4th and cutting 1st off. Then I stretch those 4 arms outwards with lst. Then let a bush grow upward as I switch to flowering. 🌱

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think.
I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Auto training techniques lst/hst/toppingJust about to start a few auto flowers, will be my second auto grow. Any tips for best training methods? I know lst is most popular but any recommendations on which one works best? Also any advice on topping? Lots of people say don’t but lots of growers seem to do this. Thanks!5y ago

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?

To top or not to top. That is the question.Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help.
Happy Growing 🌱

Topping early at the third nodeHi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow?
They kept growing after the topping

First time toppingMy second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping?
What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches.
My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?Plant. Too tall

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed.
The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend.
My question is, did I wait too long to top?
