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

4x4 16 Plant Veg Time and Training Hello 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!

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?

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?
