My plant is 21 days old. I want to start 12/12 and add some "Tiger Bloom" TONIGHT, but I just fimmed today. Should I wait, or does it matter? I need to rush this bitch through. In-Laws will be here in mid Sep.
wot?? no topping in the bloom stage!Top 1 week into the flowering cycle
Could i then use the bit i cut off as a 'cutting'?
I would imagine not, only because in order to sex the plant you have to induce flowering, and its not the best idea to add that stress to a flowering plant.do you need to sex the plant before doing this?
Excellent answer. I believe topping is an indoor requirement that serves only to control height. You can only push what the plant will genetically be able to do. Topping splits up the same yield.Topping is an excellent way to control height. As this is usually not a problem for me, I generally do not top my plants. IMO, although topping produces more colas, I think that the plant slows down its growth rate a little in reaction to trauma? It seems that the untopped plants, in a side by side comparison do not appear to slow down and therefore produce slightly fatter buds overall.(if harvested at the same time)
This has been my observation over the years, but I've never kept records or weighed anything to make certain....just a hunch!
