    Topping vs. Manifolding

    I am curious about the exact difference between manifolding and topping. In topping you cut off the top growth above a grow tip about 4 to six nodes up. If I am correct, in manifolding, you split the top of the main stem in two? What is the long term difference in the plant growth and yield?

    Topping is just that, topping. Manifolding is several toppings and lst to create a flat even canopy. If you grow outdoors there really is no need to manifold but some growers do top. Indoors IMO manifolding and quadlining are the best way to maximize yields. https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold

      Really good answer. The only thing I would like to add is if time is a factor then topping is the way to grow. Plants take a bit longer to recover and develop from manifolding but it maximizes your yealds.

    Thanks for the feedback. So, if I understand correctly, I basically need to top the new branches once they have grown several nodes to split them again?
