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.

Bushy Genetics How do you deal with a genetically bushy strain, especially if you plan to ScrOG? Do you knuckle up all nodes but the tips, then LST? Or let him grow and give him time? (My OG Kush needs some advice)

Suitable growing techniques What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

I working on week 8 and the second week of the bloom phase. Looking for any tips that could make sure I'm doing everything that is possible to maximize what I have. This is my first grow, so not sure if what I've shown is expected, or if there are some deficiencies.

A shorter height sativa, but is it looking good so far? I noticed the tips of the 2nd node leaves getting a bit brown today, but I think its because I let it get too dry. Side root growth is lacking, but 2 long are out the of the bottom. Color is doing better after some adjusts

The bud site towards the lower middle of the plant. Should I get rid of them if they aren't keeping up with the taller buds or should I leave them to see if they catch up? I have upto 8-10 nodes per stem due to LST training

Hi, this is my first time using qb light and i guess made a mistake that the height of the light way too short and its cause very tight internode spacing.. I raise the light to 70cm, started to training the plant for more light, will she bounce when the flowering start?

I’m getting ready to use LST, which is why I planted not in the center of the pots (low box), placing the plant off the center of the pot does not harm the roots and crop?
