How often do I top?

[Dummy]

So I only have one plant this year. I've already topped it once. It hasn't started flowering stage yet. Should I top the other budding areas?

It's all up to you. For a one-plant grow, you will want to maximize flowering tops. You'll want to place a ScrOG net to spread the tops out at all the same height. You can top anywhere you need to top until you have enough bud sites to fill the grow space then flip to flower. Depending on where you are in veg, you could try to use the manifolding technique to create eight main branches. Check out the tutorials on the main site for ways to maximize flower production.

Hey Dummy (never thought I'd say that to anyone) - lol There is more to training and increasing yield than topping.
Have a look at these two plants each of which was topped 3 times; Initial Y and end of each [SUP]x[/SUP]Y[SUP]x [/SUP]Best wishes and Happy Pharming!

Thanks all. This is an outdoor plant, if that makes a difference.

How's this? Non-screen Scroggins and tomorrow I'll re-top. Thanks for the help.

Quite Sativa-esque!!!!! You really shouldn't need to top outdoors, since entire plant gets full light and grows all over.
