should I top at this point?

[Wildwelder303]

This is an 8 week old Sweet island skunk clone. Grown under LED with soil and added nova bloom nutes. So 2?s, does this plant look the right size on average for an 8 week clone? Also, is this a good time to top? Please note that im wanting to top for quality not so much for grow room space, just wanna know if it looks like a good time to top. Thanks!

Is that an outdoor grow? They would be small after 8 weeks under my fluoros, much less outdoors. But they look very healthy. You can top anytime in veg, even now if you like, but they're bushing up pretty good on their own.

 

[Wildwelder303]

No, its an indoor only i just put it on the porch while cleaning the grow space. I thought it was growing fast. Thanks for the quick response. Do you rec. Fim or top?

CORRECTION MY NUTES ARE FLORA NOVE

I would LST, but I've been advocating LST for over 20 years so I could be biased. Never saw the sense of removing the biggest, most developed growtip to favor the less developed growth below it.
If you do top, make a clone out of what you take off..
Seriously, they look great, don't worry about size except as it relates to your flower light. That plant will be quite large after the stretch.

I'd do some LST.. get the canopy even then top every branch.
How long to you plan on vegging before you flip?

 

[Wildwelder303]

Cool man thanx smokinrav! Ill more than likely LST. hydrokid239 my original plan at the start was to veg until nov. 15th assuming no outside factors.

You can top if you want, or just LST them, by pulling those taller branches lower than the rest. Both work.

If you're gonna flip in a couple weeks, I would probably skip topping them, and just LST them.

 

[Wildwelder303]

Yea i was gonna extend the time if i did top

Watch out with bringing her outside too.. it's really easy for bugs to jump in your pot and then you bring them back inside.

You will be the landlord for some pesky squatters.

I would fim her, bend her and just give her a week or two extra before moving on to flower.

I would give her a larger pot.
