I agree....This might explain it better, but you can top and buy yourself a couple of weeks along with a plant with more colas.

Howdy! Based on quite a few questions about topping I've received here: https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/13820-fimming-topping-101-a-12.html I decided to reproduce a thread on my favorite topping method published at cann.com about 10 years ago. Even though I've got much better...

The most simple way (if in a cold climate) is to lower your room temperature.

So where the second set of leaves are from the bottom so it’s like I’m chopping it in half?

You ignore the first node where the small round leaves came out. Then cut two nodes above that...above the node by about 1/4 inch. That will give you 4 main colas. You are basically cutting your plant in half.

Def cool the root zone or soil, that will slow growth best.

Yes, there, and clone what you cut off.

Thanks for the help

Dropping temps ...put on cold floor...
Whichever method you choose, watch for deficiencies...cold can inhibit some micronutrient take up by the plant. All are individual, so can't really give a number, a lot of factors at play.

Move the light farther away or turn down room temps, put fan speeds on a higher speed

steve870 · Feb 17, 2020

yes cut it where you took the first photo. If you cut it too high it will work too but its best to cut it lower, plus i would suggest moving the lights closer or adding more light. Your plants are stretchy as they are craving for light

the node just below your finger cut there. cooler root zone work and if you can dim the light that works to. how long do you want to delay them ?
