Topping info needed

Novice here, wondering if I can top this plant again. Not sure if I did it right the first time, but check it out and comments will help!

Hi man. Looks like it's outdoors. Is the a goal you are looking for when topping?

 

[PapaDave]

Hey Aqua Man,
Yes this is outdoors. I'm trying to keep the height of the plant below my fence height to keep prying eyes of neighbors.

Yeah no problem you can keep topping. That said even with a top you'll have trouble keeping in below your fence, so along with the topping you should start pulling/staking the main stem down towards the ground. Do this slowly over time and you only where the stem is flexible so you don't break it.

Thank You, the stems are pretty stiff, but I will try your suggestion.
Looking to do a LST on my new grows, all horizontal after 3-5 nodes

I may have to cut away a "tomato" plant support that I was urged to use, but I really dont see any benefit at this point.

Agreed. Top and bend the piss out of it

The lady is now 7'wide and 8' tall and 3rd week of beginning flower. Advice on trimming at this point. It is getting very thick

I see in one of your pics, you have many lines coming off the plant to separate/train?

@Jungle666 2 p 3 oz peeps couldnt get enough of it lol..sold like hot cakes.. @PapaDave Yeah i still bent quite a few over.the net held them firm from wind and rain.had to tie string about the middle of the branch on other side to hold firm so when i tied another about 7 inches from the top then bent that to where i wanted it..and around outside to open it up..it was more about placement giving ea branch room.i grow like this to get more bud per area and stealth.ive tried with topping at 4th node and it was too bushy no room for placement..bit like scrog really but i let it come up after about 3mths or about the 14 jan in my lattitude..you should see all the pegs i have all different lengths
