nonick123started grow question 3y ago

I have several questions. The plant is at the 6th growth node. Should I do the topping above the 4th node or above the 5th node? Should the cut be at 90 degrees or at 45 degrees? I read a lot of articles and forums with different opinions, but I'm not clear on it... Thanks!

Hi. So you see the 1st set. The one with the 1 leafs. I remove that normal "the leafs and nodes above them "knots" as they nearly all the time runtz out of all your sets of nodes. So, upon removing the 1st set and the top you'll be left with 4. Cut above the 4 making sure not to cut the node (will be above the leafs stem where it meets the main plants stem. So you'll be fully removing no 6 and cutting below that, (it'll be no 5 if you remove the 1st set) leaving you with 4 sets, 8 nodes to shape You'll be able to apply LST also. Id kinda not leave it any longer. As once you to it. All upwards used energy to make the plant grow will be diverted to your nodes. Good Growing

Doesn’t matter- to all those questions. But personally I’d remove the bottom node. The one that’s not growing wel and has the single leaf coming from it. Then leave 2,3,4,5 and cut above 5 at a 90. 45 degree cuts are for cloning

Topping early at the third node Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

Should I top It?I’m wondering if this is the right moment to do a top cut (apical pruning). Should I wait a bit longer, or is it fine to do it now? Also, is it okay to top a FastBuds autoflower, or is it too risky? I’m dealing with some space limitations, only 52cm of vertical space. Thanks
