hi, I think that cutting all the branches is extra stress for the plant, a few weeks before flowering and then you can defoliate the larger leaves and lower branches of the plant where the light does not reach, the secret of defoliation is to do it gradually at a time . you can also scrog with a net and then LST, this will help you spread and even out all the branches at the same height. good luck mate

@Tagre During the grow removing a few leaves is ok but I never cut branches unless it is imperative

Yes trimming a lot of the lower branches that don't get much light will help improve your yield and quality of your buds. I top mine then train them for a few weeks. When the flower stretch starts I remove any branch that isn't fighting hard to make it to the top. Good luck!

When is the absolute latest I can top a plant? I'd say I'm a week to 2 weeks maximum away from flowering on an outdoor grow.

Suitable growing techniques What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

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?

Topping Sorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule? In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?

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.

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

Topping Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes? Thanks in advance!
