Hi I would only top each of them once as your be limited on space, Overall will give you alot of top colas and fill out your space nicely, Best of luck bro 🌱

I also thought that fimming is a good idea because then I would have 4 colas and I think I have enough space for it. What Is your opinion about that?

Mainlining
I’m kind of new to training colas as in topping and mainlining. When main lining after I top I want to end up with 12 colas on each plant do I cut everything that isn’t growing on the main colas?

To top or not to top an autoflower
As I can read when googling, it’s a hit or miss to top and auto. What’s your experience? Should I go for it? My plant just started her third week.

Hey Guys, im growing 25 regular seeds and i wish to figure out which one is female. Can i just force flowering changing HQI to HPS and 18/6 to 12/12 light schedule to figure it out ? And maybe clone the female to restart vegetative ?

When Should I Top My Plants?
I plan on moving the plants outdoors within the next week or two. I'm going to be topping them, but I'm wondering if I should do it now during their last week inside or wait until I transplant and they're accustomed to the outside weather. Thanks in advance!

Top her a second time?
Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

Clones? Lights on 24h or not? Took some clones a few weeks ago and they have not grown. 24h lights, humidity is good. Just wondering what I’m doing wrong.

I would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made. Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ? Thx

Attack of the clones.
Took a genetic standout from seed, took multiple clones(monstercropped). Clones grew well but 1 has shown noticeable difference with how many stems split off from main once flowering started. Is this a stress response to the individual? Given all treated equally.

OUTDOOR CLONES
Hi I was wondering if it's possible to grow cuttings as clones in a outdoor setup. I have this germinator with no lamps. I also have some AdvancedNutriens products (micro,bloom,bud candy,big bud,nirvana,B52,carboload,conoisseurA) and a current light schedule of 15/9. 😊🙏👍
