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...

4 Branch or 2 Branch Grow?
After a 2-node top, I left 4 main branches for this 18 x 24 cabinet. 8 branch grow is a jungle from experience, but any idea if a 2-branch grow would be better than a 4 branch grow with my given space?

Who thinks i should top her? [OUTDOOR]
Who thinks I should top her? She is growing nicely but i am afraid topping can strees her.To get the most of her no topping or topping? Once she is outdoor im afraid if i dont top her not all buds will get the same sunlight but also with the topping she can not grow as big

When to start 12/12
Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

To Top or not to Top....
So I plan to put in a screen and land up with a level canopy, hopefully. Is it absolutely necessary to top your plants? (I’m nervous of messing it up like the noob I am) And do my plants look ready to top? And do they look ok otherwise?Thank you

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?
I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

Show I cut main stem?
Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

What node do you normally top at and why? Would there be a benefit of any kind by topping at 3 instead of 5 etc?

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?
A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?
