topping

Is it okay or even a good idea to top an autoflowering plant to increase yield and keep the height down? If so whats the best and safest method to do so? I wouldnt bother but im worried because I only have one LED 1000 watt, So im only really good for like 3x3x4 space or so, give or take. Want...

Before and after topping-been feeding these 1 month and 1 week old girls (roughly) 1/4 strength of suggested dosage for 2 weeks now and they look super perky after the first topping. Cloned the tops and will wait another month before second round of clones and topping. All is good under the...

Hey guys, I have a small plant already a lot of leaves. I'd like to ask if it is ready to be topped yet? Thank you for an advice.

I'm about 7 weeks into veg and my plant is starting to grow more vertically. It has really nice branches and is getting really bushy. Should I top? Where on the plant must I cut? I will add some pictures. Thanks

Well, I have a couple grow journals going, on two other sites. However, I believe, you should seek out input from others. That have been doing it for decades or brand new. Here it goes with my setup, and then a quick outline, of what, I've done. 3x4 tent 400w MH/HPS ballast (am upgrading to...

Sup yall, ive had this dosi do for a very long time, it sprouted around march 12th no problems throughout the grow up until early flower. Anyway, all that got sorted out and i managed to take a clone(in the pictures) this time around im just going to let it get nice n tall just to see if she’ll...

Hey Guys, I am new to growing and have left two plants on the balcony which now are way too tall. They havent even started flowering yet and I have never cut them. My question is, at which point should I cut the main stem and can I use it making more than one clone of it? Also are their...

So the last time I topped my Bubba's, they did very well. They weren't autos. Now, on one of them I left a bit of the meristem intact when I cut it, so I basically left a small stub there on accident about a quarter inch in length or so. It produced a third main stem that grew up to be one of...

Plant is almost 2 months old. I am using other plants to hold mine down. How does it look? Am i doing anything obviously wrong? Thanks EDIT: I also recently topped it if that makes any difference.

Need help with the scrogging and training for my Hindu Kush plant that I flipped 12 days ago.. I appreciate and help and suggestions

What's up everyone, I have 4 girls that are a bit out of control. They are just starting the second week of flower(no buds yet). I'm thinking i may need to lollipop or cut some of the leaves back but not sure when the best time to do it is... Any advice is very appreciated. Thanks all!

So I topped my plant early, to be clear I cut it well below what would have been fimming. Now the two shoots on the side are growing out as expected. But the stalk that I topped is also growing two symmetrical shoots. Now I have 4 mains it appears, I am not complaining but is this normal? Will...

Hey ya'll since it's that time of year (for some) I wanted to discuss some Low Stress Training /Topping/ Fuck I missed/ super cropping/ monster cropping cultivation techniques and the differences, the benefits AND, the drawbacks? I have used all the above methods EXCEPT for monstercroppng as i...

Can you LST a plant that hasn't been topped? I have a plant that is round and bushy and the branches are pretty long reaching almost even with the top cola. I feel like if i tie down those long arm branches maybe more would grow? I wasn't originally planning on topping, and i was actually hoping...

Today I topped my plant on it's 5th node but i cut off the new growth as well, should I top down on more node to leave the two pistils on top or let it grow as is?
