When to take your top off?
JLive3asy420started grow question 3 years 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.

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

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Pytanie ogolneWitam mam pytanie czy to normalne? :) Odstęp między węzłami nie jest zbyt duży? Jakoś wydaje mi się że jest zbyt duży. Dzień 28 weg. Jest przed faza kwitnienia ale to chyba jeszcze nie czas na wyciąganie i taki odstęp. Wszystkim dziękuję za odpowiedź.

Any way to save my clones, and have healthy clones from these? I took these about 7 weeks ago and life got ahead of me. The plants these are from are greatI took these clones 7 weeks ago and never got around to transplanting them. As you can see, they are rootbound, stretched, and stunted. My question now is, is there any way I can make these clones usable? If not, it's a lesson for next time, but I want to use these clones.

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!
