Once rooted really well (10-14 days ) I top them all at 2.5 inches . Their first topping is ok as long as they have a good root system . Once they get 4-5 inches I will top them again . This helps me by not only giving my plants amazing structure ( didn’t do it last round) but it also buys me time . I flower then do a two week cure in my grow room . I hate losing that time but my room is the only place I could keep temps at 65 and RH at 55-60. So the topping def buys me time . When the girls finally get to the stadium they are ready to blast . Most important part of this stage is building a spectacular root system to handle the rigors of flowering . MAke sure your plants are in Olympic shape otherwise your wasting your time . If your plants aren’t chugging water your root system is inadequate . Will you grow buds ? Yes. But like I always say , it’s easy to grow shitty product .
Wouldn't top those, clones don't give you the same effect as a seed, it's not gonna be symmetrical....ever. saw another grower here teach another guy on here to do "tipping" instead of topping the growth on the inside just cut any growth that has little fans coming out the very top node. It forces everything lower to dramatically speed up and slow down the top so it can all catch up. Here's a 17 day difference, I'd say it pays off. Try it out man I thought it was stupid crazy to do and then I did it on a stupid plant and got rewarded. Just let them grow a 8 inches to a foot before doing so
