I’m in the states. There are people from all over on this site. But I would say mostly from Canada, United States and Europe.
Hi again, You say you don't have much room? Check out this guys grow

That sounds like a lot of work with a multiple daily watering and feeding regiment. My peat stuff in 3 gallon pots I water once every 3-4 days in flower about once a week in veg. I understand the superior growth you get in hydro, a recent video I saw showed almost 2-1 growth with hydro over a peat mix with very little maintenance. I haven't seen that type of time laps video with coir but the maintenance alone seems to be more than I want to take on.
Write away we're all learning from each other, what you bring may add to a conversation we can all learn from. Stay quiet and we don't get that insight. We're faux legal here we're allowed to grow 4 plants from seeds bought through a legal source only ( their seeds ) Trouble is until recently they only had 1 legal supplier with I believe 2 seed strains ( grey matter memory) and they we not available until about 6 months after faux legalization at a premium price for a No name brand seed.
Right. I never would have switched to growing in coco if it weren’t for this site and I have learned so much about lighting from here., especially LEDs.
Here we don't need a license as of a year ago. There's a grey area with the seeds we're allowed to grow from. The police will only be looking for you if you're selling or causing an offense leading them to your door. I think an old stay at home arthritic 67yr old with 2 replaced hips & bad knees is a low priority bust and they've got better things to do than to go after the likes of me on the odd chance I'm a plant or 2 over the letter of the law.
I'm not saying they couldn't do that here but now that it's faux legal and there's been no chaos erupting from hordes of stoned lunatics running amuck as predicted by the naysayers there's a more of a relaxed attitude about pot in general. You mentioned topping... What's to know? I top and continue to to until I'm ready to turn them, when I see 2 growing shoots below the top and they're tall enough that there's space for me to cut, I cut, fiming only by accident. Some guys here top real early I'll wait until they're tall enough for my fat hands to deal with the little fkers. after maybe a month but I like to veg 2.5 months if I can. Bigger's better in my books.
I top many times like I said depending on how long I veg them for. I have some clones I'll take pics of tomorrow they're about a month - 5 weeks old and i've topped 2 of them 4-5 times and tied them down. Zero shock but I do it just before or after a watering / feeding so they have liquid to suck up and heal themselves. The next few hours /day you'll see the small sprouts standing up saying hello and ready to take over the job of being lead hand but this time with a buddy and when they get tall enough another week - 10 days and out come the scissors and snip snip.
Okay I took some photos of 2 Cherry Bomb clones the same age, one has been split a few times and tied down the other I've left alone. It was a bit smaller and a bit slower in growth so I didn't split her yet. If I had more clips I would have tied down some branches that are now ling enough for me to do so without snapping them off, I've squeezed the stalk and bent them over in the past but they just keep going back up if I don't tie them down so I tie them down.
