Topping in flowering stage? (wappa)

[kumar]

Hi There!
I used to top my plants in the vegetative stage. I went to a seed shop and had a chat with the seller there who said he used to top his plants in the 2nd week of flowering stage, when he start seeing the first signs of flowering. I have the wappa seedlings now, and I'm curious what do you guys think about this? When is the right moment you top the plants? My goal is the biggest yield as possible. Thanks!

I cannot see any value in chopping the colas off. Sounds pretty dumb to me but just maybe taking the tops off makes all the side stalk bud grow better. I have never tried it.

If anything. Early flower, right after stretch. Pinch every flower off 3/4 of the way up each stalk from the bottom.
That's all little popcorn and you want the plant to grow nice top colas, maybe a bud or 2 bellow the cola tops so the buds grow large. Once a week sit down and clean those stalks so the flowers don't come back.

Right after stretch get her on a good very high phosphorus flowering mix. Grotek Monster Bloom 0-50-30 is great stuff mix as directed with your regular nutrients. Or Alaska More Bloom 0-10-10 works well.

Don't top past the day you flip imo. You run the risk of stunting growth and a few other smaller things. If you need your canopy filled better then add another plant or top during veg and let them grow longer

This is horrible advice, you literally would be cutting off your Colas. Only top in veg and give your plant time to recover before flipping

you can supercrop if you need but that advice to top them is terrible

Thank you guys, that's what I thought too! Cheers!

yeah tbh I can’t think of a worse thing to do it will only stunt them and ruin your harvest and you’d of wasted your time.
Glad you questioned it

So after stretch is the goal to give as little N as possible?
