Topping In Tiny Places
Hydronautstarted grow question 2 years ago
Iโve been topping my autos in a 3.8 sf stealth cabinet religiously at the 20ish day. In hydro that is around node 6-7. Would topping earlier giving the speed of growth that hydro provides, say at 3-4 node, make the plant less bushy and easier to manage? Ideas for tiny places?

The sooner you top the sooner they recover. If it's a healthy plant I try to top above the second node around day 10 or 12. I dont know why people top at higher nodes. You get too many branches trying to fight for space. I usually end up with around 30 tops from topping once.

I agree with Ezzjaybruh, I tend to top around 3rd week 3-5th node.

I canโt speak to autos specifically.. but I like topping earlier/ lower. I shoot for 2-3 nodes or 4-6 branches.. then tie down and let them new growths from each branch grow upwards.. with photos i usually top again the top node, allowing lower branches to grow laterally and up to meet the others.
Hard to describe, but yes. Topping at 6-7 and allowing those to grow out is gonna give you a bush..

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?

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 โ๏ธ

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
