I topped my 9 Day old plant because i´ve seen a few videos where the guy also topped that early and it turned out it was really effective.
whats your opinion?

Young plants take longer to recover from topping. In this case, you might lose 1 or 2 days. I wouldn't go much earlier than this, and I haven't seen anyone try it earlier. If you find it easier to train your plant afterwards and achieve the form you want (e.g., developing 4 main colas with fewer side branches), then it can be effective. If you made a clean cut, your plant should bounce back soon and continue growing vigorously.

It's merely a higher risk of shocking the plant. I don't think it's a high risk unless it was really tiny.
greater horticultural anecdotal knowledge says to wait for 6-7 nodes before doing so for this sort of plant. This is more reliable anecdote than you typically see in marijuana-related gardeners - i.e. burning your plant, depriving it of nutrients or light, blind mass defoliation, etc etc...

I typically top a little later so I can remove the first set of branches that form, so that I can have room for watering.
But you cut first and asked questions later so it is what it is. Either way there’s no right or wrong. She’s going to be just fine at the end of the day. I would suggest to pot up at this time. The leaves are already touching the edges of the pot.

4x4 16 Plant Veg Time and TrainingHello guys, I am planning on flowering these 16 ladies in my 4x4, but I am unsure of how long to veg and what training to utilize for maximum yield.
I was thinking 3-4 weeks? Or maybe longer?
Is topping in such a tight space a good idea? If yes then at what time?
Thanks!3 years ago

Day 31: Top After a FIM-job?Could I top this FIM from a week ago? I have lateralized all her branches, but feel there is a lot of catching up to do. Branch spread is ideal for this grow space, but comparatively low. Am I really effecting yield, if I am satisficed with the growth in place and take the top?Week 5

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?Week 3

First time toppingMy second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

Top the plant again or not?Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it?
I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?
