You could top it now. Your at that stage where it's time to train and get hands on.

You can top above the 4th, preferrably the 5th node.... Good luck...

Topping
Hey guys, second crop and I'm still afraid to do the topping pruning. 18 days today and I don't know if it's time and which node I should do a pruning because this plant grew very robust, is it really better to do a pruning?

E-Regular Top Growth
So I couldn't help notice that one of my Afghan is growing E-regular, the top is well 😔 It's like it ether didn't grow out a top as in the center its a nub and or may have now created two nodes , not really sure , time will tell I guess , but I've never really seen that before?

Hydronaut
Topping In Tiny Places
I’ve 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?

To top or not to top. That is the question.
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 🌱

Gelato#33 looks sad
Please can someone take a look at my Gelato #33? She has some dark brown spots on the under leaves and the upper leaves look very dry. :/ I did some "fin" cropping and looks like it didnt went well. It mutated a little bit? It is my first time.

Top the plant again or not?
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

First time topping
My second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

She’s looking really bushy, did I top her too early?
Did I top her too early? She’s become real bushy and leafy. Not sure if I should be trimming the lower area yet or just let her grow. About 4 weeks in veg. Thanks!
