When will i top???

Everyone has personal preference. I personally don’t see the point of letting it grow to cut it off. Wait for others to weigh in. I’m still new. When you do top leave some of the old stem to help it not split when you spread it out.

Jesus I dono what to do man I might wait until tmro nway let the fifth node come out and I'll see then thanks for your help

If you’re not sure just be patient and wait. Once you watch some videos you will see it’s easy and won’t harm your plant if done correctly.

Patience is one of the most important things to master when it comes to growing. I used to top them earlier and I've noticed a big difference in the way my plants grow if I just wait until they grow 6 nodes.

Thank you I'm going to wait awhile anyway I think

The reason I was given, when I used to top earlier, was for two reasons. The first reason being that they recover from the topping much faster (and they do) if you wait. The second reason is because it gives the plant time to grow a thicker main stem to better support the LST that you do after topping.

I’ve done 3rd node and 4th node and seemed like it recovers better on the 4th. I imagine that just keeps getting better as the plant gets larger.

If you want to see the difference, then top one now, and top another when it grows to 6 nodes. I do stuff like that often to see if I want to change my methods. In my current grow I topped two plants only once, and I topped the other two plants twice, just to see how the plants will fill out in flower with each method. Currently, the ones I topped only once are way more symmetrical, and the other two wound up having some weird twisted branches for some reason.

I honestly don't know. I've always done it, in the morning, after the lights have been on for about an hour.

Watch a video on topping I use scissors but some people just pinch. Personal preference.

I used to use my Fiskars after a rinse with ISO, but now I just pinch using my thumbnail. I know there's a possibility of infection, but the time savings of just clipping when I want without other hassle is worth the risk of a plant getting sick and possibly being removed from the cycle.

I’ve always heard just after watering at the beginning of light cycle

Always a good idea. Wait. Think about it. Look at the plant. You don't have to be in a rush. The plant moves at its own pace. You learn to go at its pace and it will thrive.
