Topping from seed
LandracePharmsLLCstarted grow question 3 years ago
At what week should I look at the first topping? I think I've always waited too long/left too many nodes.... I'm looking for bigger uniform colas...

I would top them when the around 5-6 node and you know you have a strong root system. Once your plants have recovered from the topping you can top again and again. Just make sure you wait for the plant to recover each time. If you are look for a completely level canopy I would recommend using the screen of green technique along with the topping method. Good luck 💪

I always wait for 5-6 mature nodes then chop the top. You can either trim the lower nodes to mainline or you can start LST at that point to achieve a even canopy and uniform nugs.
Happy growing and stay high! 😎😎🍁🍁🤜💨

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia.
Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed.
What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

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.

Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!
