Hi all, up to day 28 since germination on my Green Crack girls, and I'm at the point of looking to top my biggest girl. I have a photo where I've tried to get the general canopy and node structure.
There is so much information out there and it differs so greatly. I got some great advice from one of my questions on another thread, to the effect that I should be cutting off above the 4th node while the 5th is developing, leaving a bit of stem for the new connection to thicken around. Others will say wait for it to get 6-8 and cut back to 2 or 3!? Bear in mind I'm a beginner so I'm looking for safe and reliable. I guess my question is does the 4th node thing tend to be a good safe bet? Fourth node at centre of picture showing growth of 5th above:
If so would I be looking to get it happening at the stage it is now before it spends any more time building that 5th and 6th? Or would you suggest pinching the growth out between those fifth leaves, the developing 6th node??
Any advice appreciated! Peace and blaze.
