I wait until I have 5-6 nodes before topping. You look to be there and should be all good to top now.Been reading about topping but it seems like there is a wide range of opinions on this. This plant is growing fast and I want the new bottom growth to get light. Hoping to make it into three branches.
Thanks in advanceView attachment 1214060View attachment 1214061View attachment 1214062
I’m not sure what you mean by three branches? Are you trying to mainline or just top to break dominance?Thanks, don’t want wait till it’s too late.
How can I get three branches with another topping ?
You can top as much as you want. Each time you top you create 2 new top colas. Topping once will definitely help make it more bushy.Not sure, just wanted it to be bushy
The first plant was topped 3 times and trained for mainline the second plants were all topped just once.Not sure, just wanted it to be bushy
I’m thinking he is talking a FIM cut.I’m not sure what you mean by three branches? Are you trying to mainline or just top to break dominance?
It’s as much a science as it is an art man. If your just starting out growing then I would suggest just top once. Keep it simple and learn from your grow, watch where bud sites develop, keep a journal or a data log to reference back to. Keep reading on here and using the search to find good threads.There are many methods I obviously don’t know how to do. I want the most buds sites. That’s my main goal. I’ve read a lot of the articles here but specifics vary.
Appreciate any advice, and articles to help me without asking so many questions
Thanks
cut the top off and bend her down. and done.There are many methods I obviously don’t know how to do. I want the most buds sites. That’s my main goal. I’ve read a lot of the articles here but specifics vary.

Thanks
to add: cutting off the head breaks up the apical dominance, plant goes haywire, hormones everywhere, then it just starts to fuckin grow out everywhere light is hitting, bending it down will set the structure up for a bush, and help light get down to lower growth.you can also simply bend the top part of the plant down, and itll also help bush out, BUT
Cutting off the head of the plant AND bending it over, you'll get a fuckin bush.
i sometimes top as early as possible, second node but i see alot of people here wait till 3d or 5th or even 8th or so.
you can really top it whenenever, depends how tall you want it, how bush you want it, how much space you got.
i top early sometimes to get those new shoots out and growing.
Can see where I bent it down atSounds good. Topping tomorrow
no problem, i am the same way!Thanks, I’m a visual kinda guy ! That’s what I needed to see. Seems like a lot of abuse for a three week old plant, but I’ll try it ! Have five about the same size going now. Maybe just top two, top and bend two. I feel like a mad scientist.
