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 :)

How is it looking?
How are the plants looking? Adding a new light soon so they can get extra space, however im a bit worried as the fan leaves are growing huge shadowing the nodes. The strain is mother gorilla from RQS

How many tops did I make here, and how/why?
So I topped last week, now this doesn't look right! 😅 why is there new growth from the main stem? I topped my Gorilla Cookies and this wasn't the result. What did I do? What will the result be? Please indulge me. Thank you 💚

Topping techinque: 4 main colas
I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

Fimming gone wrong?
Did my Fimming attempt go wrong? I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results? Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.

Pistils? Steps from now on?
Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy. Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small. How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

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?)?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?
On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?
I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
