You'll be fine. I deliberately topped my plant on day 32 right when it was starting to show preflowers because it was getting taller than I wanted. It has since fully recovered and now has two main colas instead of one. Nothing to worry about!

There is not much you can do so... don't worry. If it is a photo plant I would NOT attempt putting it back into veg. I would just continue the grow and go on with life.

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.4y ago

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference4y ago

LST and ToppingI am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !3y ago
