Well it's looking a lot better then it did 4 days ago. I would wait since it was stressed a lot recently with issues. Yes it would be okay to do both at the sane time. Topping is the hardest on the plant, and it takes time to recover. Is why they say not to do it on autoflowers. I would wait a few more days to top. You can lst it now as that is pretty low stress on it.

Wie hier schon gesagt wurde kannst du beides gleichzeitig machen oder du wartest bis sie nach dem topping etwas auseinander geht. Das liegt ganz an dir. Auch zum Zeitpunkt des topping. Ich toppen gerne bei 4 Knoten das kann aber jeder für sich entscheiden. Viel Spaß beim ausprobieren

Topping/Cloning Question I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Topping and LST autoflower I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

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?
