Topping NL

I have 4 NLs going right now. and on one of them that I topped and super cropped I have three main tops. would it over stress them if I top all three of those tops at once? goal is to have 6 tops of course and then do some lsting on all of them.

I'm growing outdoors and want these to become massive bushes.

I'm asking cause a lot of people said to only top plants from seed twice. and that you can top a clone as much as it takes it.

The NL is nearly indescructible, but three tops at once.... i dunno....??? She might stall a bit but no biggie if you dont mind waiting a bit...

id say by mid october youd be fine, maybe a 2 or 3 week recover (depending) and just be sure its totally recovered from previous topping / supercropping and youll be gravy. best of luck!

I would top twice and see if she stalls in a couple days. If not hit er again...if she stalls she should only take a few days to recover...

I've topped and super cropped like crazy and that's mainly what I'm afraid of. cause initially it was expensive to start wouldn't wanna lose that. lol

You know, I think a minor stall in growth might be your only issue when performing this topping+LSTing later. As many others here, I must agree that NL's hardly ever "get mad at you" due to a little raping. ;) I've had NL#5 the grow before last, and they didn't mind me topping and topping some more, not to mention quite harsh LST almost all the way from start to harvest. Never had any hermie problems due to this, nope..
