I believe that I have an article from GWE that will explain how it works and what your options are. After the article you will probably still have some questions and that's great.

what I have learned so far:
environment maters more than nutrients
at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
effective flushing before harvest is critical to qualityComment

I always top, early in veg... that gives plants more time to develop colas, IMO. And I have a short grow space! 😀DIY grow space 2.5' X 3.5' X 6.5'

Did i wait to long to start topping im 2 weeks into vegComment

Maybe to late for topping, but you can still LST. Just bend her over 90 degrees and keep her that way. Don't let the top be the tallest part of the plant.Comment

would i super crop bend it with pinching it?Comment

I would say not to go beyond what you are confident doing.completed 7 grows

i did bend quite a few leaves down to give the new colas a ton more light hopefully that will help them take off also going to defoliate some in a bitComment
-
would i top it at one or 2 its got alot of time to grow still two more weeks and im sure those colas would catch up besides the way bottom onesComment
-
I think im just going to top them! they look pretty good when i bent them over but i wanna top em high since i have a decent height grow space about 6feet to 6 1/2 feetComment

If those aren't autos then I would go ahead and cut them back down. Read the articles on topping and manifolding-these will have a HUGE impact on the quality and quantity of your harvest. Another benefit of topping back down is that you can use the cuttings to make into ready clones. I tend to wait until I get to the 5th set of leaves growing and clip it back to the 3rd set, repeat again on the two new stalks and you now have 4 nice stalks. You could go another round if you're patient but I tend to stick with 4 mains and train the remaining growth to maximize cola development.WHAT???

Okay what would i cut these back two and why 3 why not grow out 10 or 12 and cut down one so u get 11 is it just 3 to save space? i mean i read the topping tutorials and just wondering why 6 to 3 why not 12 to 9 ? if i topped these how would i go about it bending them over seemed to get the branches to turn up and others to catch up
