That is entirely up to you and how long you want them to be in a veg cycle. I recommend not topping. Take off the top two leaves of each branch, instead. It will free up light to get to lower branch nodes and basically do the same thing as topping without actually topping the plant. This means it will have a much shorter recovery time, if it has a recovery time at all. Some people top each branch 5+ times, so don't worry about overdoing it. If you want a thick plant, all the power is yours! Grow her how you want.

Topping early at the third node Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
