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.

I would wait for it to grow 5 sets of nodes then top.

Grew too fast?I know each plant grows differently but, did I do something wrong while growing? She has so much space between nodes and doesn't look like she will produce well. She grew fast and is unstoppable. I just want to make sure that it was not something I did to cause so much stem.

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

Are we growing on track?Thoughts on my grow at the end of week 2? Am I on track? They seemed to be a bit stretchy don't you think? With my cool tube installed planning on dropping them 30cm/1foot away from my plants. The leaves feel some what rough any suggestions. Please like, comment and follow 🙌

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Grow techniquesAny of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂
I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches3y ago

Topping, lstHi beautiful ppl! I topped and bended my plants over a week ago. Most of them reacted great, and became more bushy. One haven't developed any side branches, and none on the place of topping.. just same number of fan leaves continues to grow 😕 what can it be?
