@WeedDude
Let it grow another set of leaves then do your first topping so it can recover from the recent stress

Pistils? Steps from now on?
Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy. Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small. How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas
I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

First-Time Grower: To Top or Not My Mimosa Evo Auto Plant?
Week 3, I’m a first-time grower of Mimosa Evo Auto and wondering if my plant is ready for topping. Many sources advise beginners against topping. Should I proceed with topping or is there a better approach for a novice like me?

Mainlining or any other Tips, recommendations ?
I'm a rookie, first time trying mainlining. Currently in second week of flowering. Although from side it looks chaotic, the canopy seems uniform? I recently did a good trim to chop off lower nodes which were under fan leave shade. Any tips I should do ? Increase fert dosage ?

Do i need to leave little stub of main stem when topping?
I topped at just above the 4th node counting from very bottom. There is very little or no main stem sticking up above the topmost node. Is this okay or do I NEED to leave a little stub of main stem? (Refer to picture Week 3 Day 18 - 11/09)

Suggestions on defoliating and topping?
I've topped all of my plants and they are very similar to each other so these pics are just an example. Should I cut off the lowest branches or even the 2nd lowest with big sunleafs? Or would it possibly stunt the growth?

When to start training for my plant in veg stage
Looking to start lst on my plant at 3 weeks veg… question is from a first timer. Should I do the no technique training of bending the plant stem 90 degrees, or start pulling lower branches down? I feel the branches on the plant aren’t “thick” enough to start messing with them.

How does late topping effect LST?
What would you do to the new tops to avoid them being too much taller than the remaining canopy if you top late (like wk 3)? Connect them to the pot below the topping? above the topping? Chiropractic bend them? I plan to start SCROG in next 2/3wks

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.
Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

To cut or not to cut ?
Hi buddies, my girl is in the 2' bloom week and I'm uncertain if I have to cut the flowers of the lower part of the buds or not. I want only dense buds and not lollipops. Here 3 pics: the flowers are circled in red, the branch from bottom in blu and the whole bud. Many thx 🙏
