Hello.. Hope u are well.. I personally like to top or pinch my plants wen i av at least 2 sets of 5 fan leaves from seed.. This way u know she has started to b more vigilant.. Stay safe and gud luck.. 👍

I do my first cut where the true leaves start. Wait to grow 2 nodes and top again. From there can keep topping every week or let it grow out with 6-8 tops.
Check out my 3 blue kings diary if want to see how far can go with topping.

HI!
Topping is the most easiest thing to do and it does not matter how you do it. I prefer to use scissors and I just cut the stem above the nodes I want to make my new mains. Usually I wait until 5-6 nodes have grown and I cut between 3rd and 4th node to make the 3rd nodes my new mains. I always leave some stem above the nodes so I don't have to be that careful with the scissors. You can check my diaries to get a better hold on things. But don't stress about it, its hard to fail topping

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.
