started grow question 3y ago
Should I top the plant? Or look to give it 12hrs darkness every day? I´m guessing not to expect something from the plant, so I can try anything right...

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

Topping
Never topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?
When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?
