To top or not to top. That is the question.
SAC87started grow question 2 years ago
Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help.
Happy Growing 🌱

Personally, I'm a Scrog noob.
That being said, from what I'm seeing here,I think it would make sense to top again and let it grow 1.5 -2 more weeks. Or even just doing LST for a few more weeks.
More specifically, I'd say, do another topping in a couple days, and a trim of bottom growth you don't think you'll want. After that I'd last let it grow 1 more week with no trimming or anything and then flip to flower at the end of the week, with maybe a final trim depending on how you're feeling/ how bushy it gets.
I hope that helps! Cheers!

I would veg them out for a min of 5 weeks before flipping to flower.
I like a bit longer of a veg time to increase plant mass for a larger harvest.
Can top them a few times before that as well as they are photoperiods vs autos for more points to weave in the SCROG net.
Best Of Luck!

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'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?

Topping question.The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

Topping question....I want to continue training according to the "topping" method, but I have a question ... Tell me, please, who knows. I want to prune all 4 colas on each plant to bifurcate them. Can I do this one day? Or should it be done intermittently?Week 5

Should I top?Hi everyone,
I am a bit in two minds if I should top and mainline this beautiful lady. If I decide to do any topping it should happen this week.
Please let me know what you growers would do :)
I might have left this too late as she has grown a lot.
Regards,

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!
