Second topping did I cut the correct spot?

[mj402]

The nodes seemed a bit uneven but it seemed like this was the new growth? Cut from top of both new stems from first topping. First grow just need some reassurance

Looks good to me. Once plants are mature they start staggering nodes instead of putting them out symmetrically.

Was that a clone or from seed?

Thanks for the reply! These were all from seed 4 strains Lemon Grab, Mind Flayer, Mad Dog, and Banana Runtz.

I haven't seen a plant topped that good since I was in elementary school.

Looks like you did fine to my rookie eye. I would be a little leary with that cut too because of the stem and node positioning. But remember you can always drop it down one more node to be sure you are cutting at the right spot. Plus when you drop it down a node, I think it helps a lot more to redistribute the hormone that goes thru to the top main stem, helps it to travel more thru out the other branches. .but I am learning also. This is my most recent. Topped twice. Last topping about a week ago plus slight defol.

geezus a buddy had a few in his back yard, took the riding lawnmower as all plant were in a row, raised the blade high and drove over them, done all topped.. big beautiful plants at harvest..

Thats a funny story, a friend of mine experienced the same outcome but his were ran over inadvertently by one of his overambitious offspring. they did recover and produced nice bud.

I don't know if I'd ever have the courage to do that! Haha

It’s 100% a great way to maximize your plants ability. And you learn a ton, there are some really badass growers here who can very easily explain what you need to do, if you chose to. Topping is kinda essential to baller yields.

me too.. don’t think that’s in any of my plans

 

[mdterpz532]

I mean,if your kinda weary about riding a lawn mower over your plants you can always take some hedge trimmers to em. Or maybe even a weed wacker.. I mean it is it the name after all.

I top myself and LST them at the same time spreading them out. My goal is a even canopy I want the bottom branches to be tops

Don't recommend lawnmower. Seems a bit extreme. My opinion.
