Wait for 6 or 7 nodes, then top at 3rd

The reason you wait for 6 or 7 is for hormonal maturity.

To be honest g I don't even know how many I got or what a node actually is that's how much I know about growing lol
Lol.. so first tiny round leaves that sprout are cotyledons.. then you have a pair of 'razor' leaves.. then you have first node with 3 finger leaves. From there, count up to each new branching/T/node... if you count 6 or 7, top at 3rd. Google some stuff bro.. this is beyond basic. Pick up a couple books: Ed Rosenthal's "Bible" and Clark's Marijuana Botany. These will help you have a better idea

If you already topped.. you don't do it again unless you want a huge bush with a bunch of mains I usually have 4-6 mains total per plant

Oh I see.. you cut the 6th.. I'd top at 3rd still.. this is what dictates number of mains

Yeaah thats right man, if I cut at the third today would that not be like half the stem or is it from counting from top to bottom ? As my 7th is coming through & would like to get to it before it fully developed
