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

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
