Topping

[Xquisit85]

Hello again it's me again I have a question should I top these again or no ??any Suggestions or tips

[Xquisit85]

I saw a video that said if you top twice you get 4 tops and not 2

[Chefbjy]

You can top the 2 new nodes to get 4 I'd wait till it started growing more nodes though.

[alltatup]

My bad. I thought that was manifolding...

[Chefbjy]

You can top other nodes to multiply growth tips if that's what you're saying. I wouldn't top the plant again though. I topped my plant at 5th node let 4th node grow 3 nodes then cut or topped those nodes. And that's as far as I went my plant needed very little training. Mainlining is another training technique where you top nodes at different stages of growth. Check out some topping scrog and mainlining guides 😉.

Remember, plant training is all about filling the horizontal space. More flowers or bud sites does not mean more yield, you do not want to top excessively as you will spread your yield into smaller and smaller flowers.

Thank you DrPhoton and Chefbjy I appreciate it just asking I did it the first time to one of them because I was nervous right because someone said you can mess it up if you top wrong ... but it was successful I have those 2 thick nodes I was wondering but thank you guys

Xquisit85, did you poke a lot of holes in your new buckets for adequate drainage?

[Xquisit85]

I have some on the sides and bottom yes sir

[Mr.furley]

Good job😅
I top twice, my goal is to hit a even canopy with 15 to 20 bud sites at harvest.
I achieve this by topping at the 3rd or 4th node, growing six branches horizontally 5 or 6 nodes. The second topping is done to slow the grow of original six to allow the center bud sites time to grow.
Mind you I do this for an indoor grow to control height.

[Xquisit85]

The one I topped is the out side natural light plant I wanna do the indoor one like you said to control height

[Mr.furley]

It is very possible to control height with just low stress training alone, but I fine a mix of topping, Lst, and suppercrpping fits my grow style/space better. It's is ture that your end bud size is smaller I don't need one big ass bud, I'll take 40 1/8th size buds.
to grow your plant flat start pulling down your branches, open the center of your plant up, grow to a star shape.
This plant was about to be/just been topped the second time as explain in the reason above and two weeks from 12/12 switch.

have you read the Gwe.com plant training? Loads of good stuff.

Absolutely read Nebula Haze's tutorial on topping/lst in the GWE main page. I follow her instructions to the letter & have been successful every time.

Am I missing something?
I would need to know if it was an auto or photo plant.
