Do you remove anything lower when you top or just the tops?Even the lower growth is all frost….

Should've cloned um.......Day 17 and 1st topping. Saved nodes 2&3 and removed 1, 4, 5. Felt really bad throwing those pretty little tops in the trash.

Basically just the tops. I try to keep as much vegetation on my plants as possible. Anything that’s has many sets of leaves coving it, or if they are blocking tops. Or the center of the plant, resting in the medium…..then I’ll snag them. Otherwise, they feed my plants.Do you remove anything lower when you top or just the tops?
What Is this?????Even the lower growth is all frost….
Sometimes I top every single node that shows with out pruning anything back. Lst stalks out of the way and get to pinning….Keeping the second and third node gives you 4 mains. I guess my real question is, when deciding on running with 4 mains, in what way might preserving nodes 2 and 3 be potentially better than just topping above the 3rd node?
I thought about giving a couple to a friend but he doesn't have any equipment and they'd just die anyway. Maybe in spring when they can be planted outside. You need to have a fenced in yard here so they're 'out of public view'. Then hope no neighborhood hooligans find out and jump the fence.Should've cloned um.......
Cman. OkieWhat Is this?????
I was sort of going by the mainline tech where they're lollipopped, but kash recommended leaving an extra node so I'm trying that.

Good question.Maybe I need to try a few things for my next grow.. Running with 4 plants. I’m pretty close to needing to top. Maybe LST only for two and mainlining the other two? I could also maybe do one with 6 mains, then top those to get to 12 tops..
Are all these techniques relatively compatible within a packed tent or do they require veg periods that differ by too much?

15 1 gallon pots, topped to 14-16 nodes a plant, 2x4 tent.I ran all this kind of stuff in a tent. No worries.
Was watering them and dealing with runoff a pain? I always wondered that especially when people scrog.15 1 gallon pots, topped to 14-16 nodes a plant, 2x4 tent.
Aww that sucks regardless homie. Hope they get it fixed soon.Was watering them and dealing with runoff a pain? I always wondered that especially when people scrog.
On a dimmer note a storm knocked the power out. Luckily the lights were on hour 13. lol
Yeah, it was a good number. Worked out well.That’s beautiful? 15!!?? I mean 15 sounds reasonable in the space, but with that many tops per plant, very impressive!
They were from seed. I ran them In right at 90 days from sprout. I wanted them that small. As soon as I tipped the last round I flipped. I worked out good. Though I wouldn’t suggest that without a healing period before flip.You recall how long those went from germination to flip? Or were those clones?
