Should I 'Top' Her?
LevyResidentstarted grow question 5y 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.

Fimming gone wrong?Did my Fimming attempt go wrong?
I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results?
Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.

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?

Pistils? Steps from now on?Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy.
Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small.

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 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).
