Wann Topping?
Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question 3 years ago
All depends what your goal is with topping. Think thru what you’re trying to achieve. I top around this time. I remove bottom node entirely as it’s weak 9/10 times. Then I’ll top at 5 and keep node 2,3,4. Then I top each again in time and end up with about 12 main colas

what growerofthemonth says is perfectly fine, but in my opinion i would wait until the 5th or 6th node to give the plant some more time to develop its roots and become less fragile before giving it that kind of stress

Topping early at the third nodeHi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow?
They kept growing after the toppingTechniques. ScrOG
