Step 1: Decide what you want out of your top.
Step 2: Plan out in your mind where you will top to get step one.
Step 3: Take scissors and cut stalk right above the last node/s you want to keep.
Step 4 (optional): If your cutting is big enough, why not make her a beautiful clone?

Its honestly not hard at all, and you will only hermie the plant if you screw up and keep slicing the stalk multiple times. The trick to topping is where to make the cut. If you do not know where you want to make the top, or dont have much information about such things and this is your first grow then i advise you to try topping just one plant and letting the others grow naturally. If you would still like a video demonstration im sure i can find something real quick.

Very easy. You're just over thinking it buddy. I remember my first grow when I was nervous about topping my plant, and when I did it, I was like wow... there was nothing to it...

Sure no problem. What are you trying to achieve from topping? More bushy plant, more tops? And cut straight. If you want to make a clone out of the top just cut the angle after you topped.

No "lol". You are smart enough to know your limitations and the way you need to learn. Go to YouTube. Search "Topping Marijuana".

Step 1: get a clean pair of scissors.
Step 2: cut stalk at desired node.

If this is too much for you to grasp, maybe knitting would be more your speed... although I heard some of those crochet knots can be trixie as fuck.

However did cannabis survive until some of these throwbacks came along is beyond my realm of knowledge. uch delicate ladies, grown in arroyos in Mexico and in the passes of the Hindu Kush range under perfect conditions.
