What the earliest you would flip after topping?

Or you could just bend them over instead of chopping off your tops. They bulk up while laying sideways too and @ 3 weeks the stems will still repair themselves and bend the tops back up towards the light. After 4-5 weeks they won't and the buds will stay laying bent over.

I am very new, I haven't finished a full plant yet, only her clone, but the effect of topping appears noticeable, initially. On two clones from mother, I topped one and left the other. They have vegged over 60 days. Initially, the topped plant sprang up, as expected. The other remains taller, but I have done some LST and super cropping and now (60 days vegged) It appear to have more flower sites, than the topped.

Yes..a couple veteran growers insisted topping would solve my issue i was having..I had height issues.plants getting too tall for the room im in and light maxing out on ceiing..now i have room to play with and keep them the distance i want away from the light.. better even canopy bar one which is a different strain so killed 2 birds with one stone..

OK, so have you topped before? Topped a week or more before flipping? Why did you wait 3 days into flip to top?

Thanks!

No .like i said in my previous reply.no to your second question.and third question was to stop the stretch purposely.i am a fresh grower myself under 2 yrs growing with half a clue..what is working for me doesnt mean it will for you..our enviroments are different,different strains.lights, everything lol.healthy plants bounce back much faster..

Man I thought about it, then thought I'd check cuz I always wait a week to flip after I top. But looking at them I thought maybe it's alright since I just flipped last night (it's been 3 weeks and they're getting tall AF)Got my answer on, if you top late, like the day of...but I topped them a second time about three weeks ago, so I'll leave them alone. I'll deal with the running out of room part down the road.
