Thank you so much for the help and info. I topped her today thanks. I'm trying to keep up with the plant as best as possible but she has a mind of her own. Lol imagine new grower of marijuana but have been an organic farmer since birth lol but awesome advice and please feel free to give me more when you see me messing up.lol

we dont learn as much when everything goes smoothly...enjoy the ride even the bumpy parts right? After Topping you will see she will divert her energy to her side branches as well as the 2 new tops! I ran straight organics for several years(it was a hippie thing-yes I was a Hippie) after 20+ years Sun-Grown Outdoors or Soil in Pots, for the last 8years I run Coco/Hydro only and MegaCrop Salt Nutrients, Hi- Freq fertilization, to me and many grower friends Soil indoor is Old Tech...But I will not argue true Sun Grown Organic is hard to beat in Quality, but you will have less weight. I have seen in side by side grows my Coco Plants grow 20-25% faster and out produce my indoor soil grows by far. Good Luck Dragon

I'm in no way trying to contradict advice given above because most if not all is on target. I will say this though ... if you don't want to top, super-crop.

I do a lot more with super-cropping and LST techniques than I do with topping/pruning my plants. This is a personal choice.

Anyway, both are valid options. One isn't superior to the other. What you pick should work best for your situation and grow space. However, if you don't train, you will waste plant resources and space.

Since you topped, here's another tip ... to get most out of that topping, allow the 2 new stems a week or so to grow so you can pull them apart and have 2 main colas. I've seen people top and flip and end up with a short extra wide double cola maybe 6" in size.

It's so hard to be patient when they're getting so close to being done. It's worth the wait, though.
