Yeah bud she's ready. If you wanna check out a topping I just did you can look at my lilac diesel diary. I topped her around week 4-5. Node 6. It's recommended to do it above the fifth node. I hope this helps.

Rule of thumb for most people is top it when it has at least 3 true nodes. I like cutting from 5th to 3rd node or just FIMing at the 4th

Yes, the place marked in your image is good. I think your leaves are a bit taco shaped, implying heat stress so try to adjust the lights

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch Autos
I'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant? Suggestions? If so when/how? Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain? I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)

GDP2 "Retopping"?
So... is it normal for the plants to "retop" themselves? I topped GDP2 like 3 days ago and now it looks as though what I cut off is growing back again. Should I top it again in the same spot?

Topping gone right?
Anybody ever have a topping turn out like this? Just thought it was funny I didn’t even notice. Definitely didn’t get the light it needed to grow but I’m gonna get some big colas from this baby and probably more main ones now too

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

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?

Suitable growing techniques
What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

Topping autoflower?
I topped my RQS Medusa F1 autoflower at 2 nodes but topped my RQS Milky Way F1 autoflower at 3 nodes. My question is which is better or should I have done it at 4 nodes? This is my first time topping autos and I'm experimenting. Would appreciate some advice. 💚🌱✌️
