Sup guys, I heard that would be soon for a topping, but this one is fastflowering so I thought could do the topping when hitting 4-5 nodes. Any experience from you? Already thanks!!

you can top anytime you want... What is the end goal here? Try working backward from there to decides how many branches you want to even out... how big of a space does this plant need to fill? how many vertical colas per sq ft do you want? The decision is made for you by these local parameters. in my experience, fast flower is a gimmick. You'll still need 8 weeks or more for flower like most photoperiod plants. All they do is mix in some ruderalis genes, which are inferior plants. I don't think it be a net-positive. With that said the Green Poison Fast i grew was an very fast vege growth wtih 55-60 day flower period. It wasn't very stong, but it had really nice nugs. I know for sure you treat it the same as any other marijuana plant, within common sense reason. It won't make a difference in how you feed or when you should train it. the idea that autoflowers are faster is an urban myth too. you can simply run a photoperiod 12/12 from seed and get similar results. (maybe 2 week vege would be equivalent, my best guess). So much misinformation out there... becareful what you believe. some people think they need 20 additives, singe to the plant and ice the roots while giving 48hours of darkness, lol.... really, it's just about their need to feel like they are doing something important... even if it isn't, bwahaha.

You can top her. I tried it between every node and it never damaged or stunt her. It just change the growing Profil.

Hey. So FF are the same as Fems. You control the veg, so generally you would get more girt by topping it.. I would remove those 1 fingered fan leafs & nodes tat will be above them. As 99% of the time the sets above out grow and block these from getting light. It'll also move energy away from these dud leaves/nodes pushing up to the next set 3-5 sets of nodes. Less sets will give more energy and light to hit say 3 sets. 4-5 sets with many tops are good fr building a good base for scrog. Also genes will play a role. Sativa / indica how high its rated and so on. Indicas givin a more lower plant with tight internodes. And Sativa the opposite (imc)

I top ff strains. I treat them like growing a photoperiod. It is essentially the same thing. Just flowers faster in flowering stage.

Good dog has you covered there I could not have explained it better myself all about how you intend to grow it sometimes LST can get you a much fatter yield than topping in my experience. check out my scrog grows they may take a little longer but my god they yield well :) best of luck buddy.
