I generally top after 3rd node, removing 1st node as well giving me 4 arms. I stretch those to edge of potter with lst then once they get that far, and start to rise I go to flowering. Creats a very nice bush structure plant. A good example I have is my fft #10. Good luck and happy growing 🌱. Nice looking plant as well👍

Been moved into a bigger pot, not a clear one. Has been topped a week ago, its just growing out instead of up. Is it ok or do I need to do something different?

Generally one tops 1 week before flipping to flower - Some top at week 2-3of veg (like to have at least 3 sets of "true'" leaves) Mean you have vegged for 6 weeks ? Check "GrowWeedEasy.com" for information on

I would top at like 4 or 5 nodes. Also, that "clawing" on your leaves is a sign of over watering. I would cut back on how much water you give it.

I would just top it under the top set of leaves. I see your pot is clear. I would definitely get that plant into a new home that isn’t transparent. Roots are going to end up at the edge of the pot and exposed to light. Roots don’t want light. Good luck with your grow 🤙

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?

Top or lst and when Should i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

Topping early at the third node Hi. 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

Mutant clone advice So one of the clones from Candy, a (fem) Northern Lights has 3 symmetrical growth points starting at or about the 4th node and continued on the 5th. So when I top do you think the trend will continue. Any insight will be appreciated. Thankx MrYuk.

Topping Hi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!
