Can i top again ? Is the lst done right ? Need some assistance pls

Hi guys, first photo is when I first topped her and the second is roughly 3/4 days later. Also does the lst look right? Tied down the fan leaves the first time by mistake Haha. Pictures are a little garbage and could be mixed up, uploading the photos onto this site was a mission.

Looks good

Looking beautiful man. Just keep doing what you're doing. You can train these plants in lots of ways, and the best way to learn is from experience, at least for me. Welcome to RIU.

Yeah they're looking good.everything is correct.just bear in mind the three node is your minimum recommended level for topping.im not a big fan of lst some strains don't like it and the buds don't harden up quite the same sometimes.

Yeah this is my first grow, putting her in veg for as long as possible. I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing right but one thing iv come to realize is less is more and patience is key Haha. Thanks for the reply.

The strain is blue dream , seems quite resilient to much, the start of the grow was horrific.
Also here's a photo of my 3 day old knock out just to say thanks !

Personally I never top. I just do a a lot of lst and the plants love it. Never seen one that didn't. I grow more sativaish crosses though so I can't comment on how indicas respond. Many ways to get good results of course.

You’ve learned a lot, clearly.

I agree with @Horselover fat re topping and LST. I just hug and bend them spread out and down. Supercropping is great for when she just wants to climb into the light. And I alternate lights positioned at 12 noon: the standard - with lights at 10a or 2p position. That angle utilizes the plant’s natural growth pattern effectively without pruning, topping, etc, by simulating the strong morning or afternoon sun, depending on the degrees Kelvin of the lamp. I have three 280w lights, but I try to run only one at a time. I haven’t noticed significantly better yields by bombing plants with light, despite popular theory.
And there is simply no need for the unnecessary labor of scrog. It makes your canopy more symmetrical, undeniably. I’m not convinced it increases yield.
I’m sure that will offend someone, and I’m sorry, but I’m not a tinkerer who will spend many hours in his garden. I enjoy the canna gardening experience thoroughly: the visual, the wonderful aroma and the antioxidants. I’m also busy outside the garden
Happy harvest, sir

Looks good, top away!!!

My first crop i topped them 3 times, created big ole bushes. Since then, i only top once and supercrop until they die!

Yeah you can top those again I usually top once a week maybe more all depends on the spacing of the colas you want you don't want them too crowded because without good airflow you will lose out on yield but the LST will help with that and I would top them again
