No wait till the plant has 5 nodes before you top! At this time the plant is stronger and will recover a lot faster aswell.

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Dudas sobre ToppingTengo varias dudas. La planta está por 6 nudo de crecimiento
¿Hago el topping por encima del 4 nudo o por encima del 5 nudo?
¿El corte debe ser a 90 grados o a 45 grados?
Leo muchos artículos y foros con distintas opiniones, pero no me queda claro...
Gracias!

3 weeks in. Fan leaves the size of my hand. Topped today. How long until 2nd topping?Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short.
All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c.
Fan leaves are larger then my hand

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

ToppingNever topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3
