started grow question 2y 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 reassurance?
I just topped for the first time. Fuc#! It's scary. 5th node.. details in the diary. Can someone reassure me that I did a good job? Sterilized a razor blade with rubbing alcohol, did it on an off nutrient only water day. Very calm weather day. please ready the notes and reassure?

To top or not to top. That is the question.
Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help. Happy Growing 🌱

When to take your top off?
When is the best time to top? What exactly is a node? Is it the start of new growth on the main trunk?

When to top
Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

Should I top her a second time?
I know some people believe topping autos is a bad idea but so far I've had great results. I have only ever topped autoflowers a single time. Never twice. Wondering if anyone has experience with topping more than once? If so, how did it turn out?

Outdoor Topping Limit?
Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?

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?

to top or not to top
I would like to top my plant but this is my first time I am doing this. The plant is in veggie week 3 under 16/8, about 19cm tall. What do you think? Can I cut in two days? Should I cut at the red line or at the blue line (see picture attached)?
