To top or not to top. That is the question.
SAC87started grow question 3y ago
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.
Happy Growing 🌱

Personally, I'm a Scrog noob.
That being said, from what I'm seeing here,I think it would make sense to top again and let it grow 1.5 -2 more weeks. Or even just doing LST for a few more weeks.
More specifically, I'd say, do another topping in a couple days, and a trim of bottom growth you don't think you'll want. After that I'd last let it grow 1 more week with no trimming or anything and then flip to flower at the end of the week, with maybe a final trim depending on how you're feeling/ how bushy it gets.
I hope that helps! Cheers!

I would veg them out for a min of 5 weeks before flipping to flower.
I like a bit longer of a veg time to increase plant mass for a larger harvest.
Can top them a few times before that as well as they are photoperiods vs autos for more points to weave in the SCROG net.
Best Of Luck!

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Topping/Cloning QuestionI am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.Setup. Clones

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?Meine Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt in Woche 3 und ich möchte das sie nicht hoch sondern buschig wachsen.
Ich habe Pflanzenklammern die 90Grad biegen können hier.
Ist die schon bereit? Oder wäre eher Topping die bessere Variante?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

ToppingNever topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️

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
