Top the plant again or not?
Growerxm00started grow question 3y ago
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it?
I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

Amount of times topped will not lower quantity or yield directly.. not if it’s a photoperiod and you let it recover
It depends what your plan is long term.. you better have a plan to spread things out horizontally if you top multiple times (scrog or training )

I personally never top, with LST you can make carpets of even weed, plant without stress develops faster. Growing from seed I think it's unneeded, growing clones - no other way, just multiple topping.
I use SuperCroping if I really want to slow down and/or lower some branch.
Any technique will drop size of cola, but used wisely should increase overall weight of harvest.
All the Best !

is it an auto? I tent to only top once. and use lst
is it an photo? you can top as many times as you wish, give it a week or two before switching to flower from its last topping though.
Good Luck!

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️

Auto's slow to flower after 2 monthsMy auto's are 2 months from seed now and seem slow to get into flowering mode w/ 18/6 light schedule. Should I do 24 hours of darkness or one day of 12/12 to get them going? At this point they are behind my photo's in my big tent that started at the same time and recently flipped

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!

Grow method adviceI want to grow plants tall however considered doing LST. Any suggestions on growing techniques here, maybe topping instead?
If i do LST does that mean they wont grow up tall?
Was thinking of doing different methods but want them all to be the same height. Also want good yield.
