Can I top my tops?

[Artstone]

I already topped, but had my cfl low to keep plants from stretching up. What did they do, they stretched sideways to reach the light ( the plants that were at the sides of the tent)

can I now top these top branches that grew sideways and have few bud sites and are covering light that would get to lower branches

Sure can but I would take cake of that Zinc deficiency first. Probably a PH issue.Lime green stripes. I dont think your light is strong enough. The plant is real leggy.

I had them in veg under a cfl and h just moved under my big light. Thanks for the zinc mention

Get a full spectrum light with a driver to control light intensity and ditch the CFLs. A single Full spectrum fixture(150 true watts) will do it all with less money over time.

I have a spider farmer SE 5000. The reason they were under the CFL is in New York. You can only have so many plants over a foot tall so I started them and my other ones didn’t finish when I thought so I kept them under the CFL‘snow they’re under the spider farmer and I decided not to top don’t bother

Yes you can but keep in mind you are slowing your plants growth by doing so.
