    manifold topping

    This is my second grow using manifolding. My question has to do with the second topping. My first topping was at the fifth node. How many nodes should I allow to grow before topping the second time?

    Check the article on the site. https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold
    After your 1st topping, let em get 4 nodes per side and top at the 3rd.

      From the way you worded your post I'm wondering if you understand that the 2nd topping is on the side branches not the main stem? This encourages more branching thus more flowering.

        Well now! I haven't done manifolding yet but intend to try it. I did not know that the second topping was for the side branches. I need to read about this again.
