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 Vs Not Topping My Green Crack Autoflower just started lst and I have been reading alot of mixed things about topping autoflower. Would you guys risk topping an autoflower, having it stunt or negatively effect yeild OR Top it to break the plants apical dominance and therefore create more colas?

Topping Training :)Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)

Changing light for flower?Hi Guys, Just topped my ladies today, they are on their last day of week 2. And I was wondering if it would be best to give them a week rest with another week of grow or should I turn my light to 12/12 already? Thanks !

LST after Topping When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

FIM Advice I fimmed the side branch growth in the first photo on 2/4/21. Doesn't look like it worked. When i fimmed, the growth looked like the second photo. Did I FIM too soon? Does the growth in the third photo look good to FIM at the point where my thumb is? Am i not supposed to FIM this
