When to take your top off?
JLive3asy420started grow question 4y 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.

Asymetric Node SpacingI wanted to mainline my outdoor girls this year and this is the only strain I have that has crazy asymetric node spacing. I Think I should abort the mainline and just LST from this point on. Any other interesting training techniques that this girl could benefit from?

Grow space set up?Hey guys, interested to know what your arrangements are inside your tents? Watering is tricky as they are sat inside washing up bowls on the floor atm. Do you have fancy shelves or grids or nothing? I am keen to make the most of my tent space and air flow! 200cm by 180cm ish.Week 4

Topping at two weeks?I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.Week 2

Excessive streching, or is it normal?Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?
