i topped my current grow on it's 4th nodes; meaning when the 4th node came out i topped it. plants seemed fine. as for the leaves idk might be genetics. one of my plants has 2 tops that are growing 3 sets of leaves per node and all 3 plants where i topped it they all grew a 3rd or even a 4th node where it was topped. it wasn't fimmed it was topped. this is the first grow that i ever hit 9 leaves as well per node idk if it's because i vegged it longer then my first grow or what i ended up flowering it sooner then i wanted to just due to the height issues. i think it's just genetics/strain.

im sure you can top them already i think most people wait until they get more nodes to kind of reduce the stress since the plants are still young so they can handle being topped.

yea same with me outdoors is better for my grows but only if i can get 18+ hours of veg then X for flowering. which i can't. with indoors i need to deal with heat and humidity issues. i can easily drop both but at the cost of higher electric bills which i don't want
