First time topping

DaBeersstarted grow question 5y ago
My second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

I would top them now, your lower branches will grow up to meet your top branches and when your top branches get going good again after the topping, top all the branches near the top of the plant including the lower ones that grow up to meet your top ones. Then start LST to keep them all at the same hight. Hope this helps, cheers πŸ’¨

With photoperiods you can do it as long as the plant says in vegetative stage, do it one time then wait for the plant to recover and then do it again, keep in mind that every time you do it you lengthen the growth for 1 week.

How much room you got and how big you want em? Topping makes em bushier and wider but if you got the height then you want them bushy, wide and a bit taller.. if your tent is smaller then top em now. I wait til 5th or even 6th node to top.. and remove the bottom set of branches as they yield shit anyways/ get in my way, but I grow under lights in a room not a tent so have the height to grow monsters.

Hello, if your idea is to do several apical prunings (multi-topping), I recommend doing it as early as possible, since you achieve much more robust plants when the plant hasn't gained too many cm in height. In your case, there is clearly an internodal distance, so if they were mine, I would cut tomorrow. I hope this helps! In my diaries, I have a Frisian Dew that underwent more than 15 apical prunings; you can check them out if you're interested. Greetings from Argentina. πŸ’ͺ
