First attempt at topping, It was creating its 5th node so I decided to top it, not sure if it was a good idea or if I done it correctly.
dont really have a before picture except for the one taken above.

Hi. It does look like a success but if its not then you will have fimmed it which will still give you roughly what you want.

ToppingIf I topped at the 5th node can I fim at the 6th or 7th node? Or should I stick with topping and not confuse the plant with different techniques?Techniques. Topping

LST method, topping and switching to flower!Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏Techniques. LST

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!Leaves. Too many

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? ThxWeek 1

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10Hi guys,
Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest.
This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc.
Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her?
