It is a bit young to top them , early topping is after the 5th node and average is after the 7th. I suggest you to practice lst before topping , like start the bending when the plant can handle it to create a flat canopy and expose the secondaries to more light and couples days after practice toping to promote the secondaries growth

Yes. It can be topped. 4 to 5 nodes is plenty.

Should I top It?I’m wondering if this is the right moment to do a top cut (apical pruning). Should I wait a bit longer, or is it fine to do it now? Also, is it okay to top a FastBuds autoflower, or is it too risky? I’m dealing with some space limitations, only 52cm of vertical space. Thanks

Cuando hacer corte apical en automáticas?He visto que muchos cultivadores tienen buenos resultados junto al LST, por ende, cuándo debería hacer un corte apical a mis automáticas? Es realmente recomendable o debería dejar que los fenotipos muestren si genética original?

Topping or no topping? Or any training?High! Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉 What do you think? Thank you very much✊

3 weeks in. Fan leaves the size of my hand. Topped today. How long until 2nd topping?Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short. All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c. Fan leaves are larger then my hand

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?
