First topping
Stonerdanswered grow question 5y ago
Usually the first topping is done above the 3rd or 4th leaf node (not including the cotyledon/ first set of round leaves) since you're growing in a micro grow I would suggest topping once the 3rd node had fully grown and start LST 5-7 days later with tying down the new growth shoots and promoting lateral growth to use your growth space more efficiently. I would also suggest filling up the pot with a bit more soil and to fertilize her, she seems to start developing some Nitrogen (N) deficiency, otherwise seems very healthy!!
Good luck!! and happy growing :)

I tend to wait until 3rd or 4th node my friend,
Overall depends on plant health, i.e. if your plants not 100% healthy, id fix that before topping.

To top or not to top. That is the question.Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help.

Topping question.The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

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?Week 5

second topping @third weekI would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
Thx

When Should I Top My Plants?I plan on moving the plants outdoors within the next week or two. I'm going to be topping them, but I'm wondering if I should do it now during their last week inside or wait until I transplant and they're accustomed to the outside weather. Thanks in advance!Week 6
