So not sure why but I topped my small 2-3cm plant wanted to do it early and now for some reason the part I topped has now some how not only made 2 top but the same shoot i topped managed to grow out anyway so it shoot 3 more tops, so in result I have 5 tops now because i topped off?

Sounds like a win to me :clap:. I usually wait until the 5th or 6th node to top, but do whatever works!
TBH with you I did it because I wanted to stunt its growth lol, I did 6 seeds, they all failed except 2, so I did more seeds, and I wanted my new seeds to catch up a little loool. but win win yes loool i ll put a pic up soon its so weird.

Generally topping and the likes are strain dependant, some respond well to it and other do weird stuff.
With the jack herer I'm growing at the moment I topped and fimmed it multiple times but it never grew like it should, sometimes I got 1 shoot from it others I got up to 3 from.
Just makes it annoying when your aiming for an even canopy with minimal work haha

OMG the strain it happened to and I'm working with is also jack Here, regardless whether you top it or not you get 3 shoots from it, it will have multiple shoots with very thin branches.

Well I'm currently flowering it and I've somehow ended up with about 15 colas per plant.
They will all have atleast half ounce on them that's without the smaller buds.
I vegged mine for a good 2 and a bit months so I don't have any thin shoots except the ones that come out when you flip.
And even those are going fine, my last grow I used a diff strain and the shoots couldn't even hold my buds up lol.

Just had this happen naturally on some BOG seeds I popped. It topped itself then started growing a single leaf from the main stem....but nothing else. No node structure or anything lol
