Hey, so I transplanted this grow 1 day ago, I’m waiting for it to watch if it doesn’t cause much stress on the plants, my question is if I can start topping soon like in 5 days or so and then move on to lst, what do you think? I have 4 plants.

Hey there wait for it to grow it's 2nd set of full 5 point leaves. You can top lower than that but it will cause less stress at that node. I suggest waiting 7 to 10 days after transplant to top the plant. After the plants are topped let them recover for another 7 to 10 days. At that point it should be branching out pretty good. You can start lst when branchs are a few inches long. Do not do lst every day only do it 1 orn2 times weekly. I suggest instead of tying down branchs just to bend them till each brach is close to parallel with the ground then by the next day the plant will pull back up do this 2 times a week it will make the plant buds way larger like working out. Slowly over time the brachs will get more rigid and snap easier. Especially wlspots you did lst over and over. Becareful very careful when bending branchs they do snap off really easy. Some plants will me more flexible and others will have no give

I've topped around the same size, most do fine water slightly directly after topping.

It's not stressed, it'll usually show first day or two. you could top it in five it should be fine. I would main line it so it grows more even.

Personally, I wait until the stem is at least 0.5cm thick. If the stem is any thinner, topping the plant has always stunted growth. When the stem gets to 0.5cm you'll usually have 6 nodes present and decent root growth. Plenty of leaves for photosynthesis and a healthy root structure with both help the plant to recover from it head being guillotined. 😅😁 Hope this helps you, even a little :)

I personally would wait until you see the 6th node to to the plants. So maybe like 5-10 more days. This should be all photoperiod strains so you are not in a hurry. Wait for some little recovery signes, most plants these days do not get any shock from transplanting anymore (in my experiance). Maybe you should start giving abit more light maybe 300-500 ppfd but to plants look good.
