Should I 'Top' Her?
LevyResidentstarted grow question 4 years ago
She's had a history of being over-watered, been transplanted twice, but if I were to 'top' her would it be here? (See the small blue line).

if you think of topping, what do you want to do with it after? how long do you plan on veging? how big do you want your plant? what shape you want your future bush?
General rule, leave the plant to grow for 5-6 nodes. Cut above the 4th and leave the 4th and the 3rd nodes to develop and LST them as they grow. The 1st and 2 nodes will be removed. Now you have 4 mains to work with.
Alternative, wait for plant to grow 4-5 nodes, cut above the 4th, clear 1st and 2nd and you will have 2 branches to start mainlining and manifolding.

Personally I would wait for one more node to tip her off, what should be taken into consideration is what you want it to look like in the end.

I FIMed in week 3, and everything seemed to go swimmingly. I don't know that there was any real slowing of growth. I was worried I had taken too much off.
Week 4 comes around, and there is top growth like nothing ever happened. Any ideas?

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day4 years ago
