When to take your top off?
JLive3asy420started grow question 3y ago
When is the best time to top? What exactly is a node? Is it the start of new growth on the main trunk?

A node is where side leaves (and later on new branches) appear. You usually should wait until 4-5 nodes have formed, unless you want to do some hardcore HST. Do not count cotyledon leaves as a node.

Hi growers, I've got a an issue with one of my plants..
After 2 weeks of LST two of them seem to be doing fine growing in all directions, but the third one keeps on one side and all the leafs are very tight to each other. 😕
Do I need to get worried about it? How can I help it?

Why is my girl so bushy and how to make her stretch? Thanks!Hi guys, so she's 29 days old. I feel like light and air can't get in, she's covering her new growth with her big fat fan leaves. I don't think it has to do with distance to the light because I tried being 40cm above and now 75cm, she just keeps growing wider, DLI 25 ~ 15k LUX 😽

When to start 12/12Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top.
So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.3y ago
