Manifold node topping question

What is considered the first node? Is the cotyledons the first node, or the next one with single leaves or the third one with 3 leaves? I started some Haze #1 seedlings and one of them has tiny growth tips from the single leaves node but the node up (the first 3 leaf node) has bigger tips already growing. The next node up has 3 finger leaves but the last one up that just finished has 5 leaves.

So which node is the third node when I top?
 
Some top the 4th, some the 5th and so on. I had this question myself and after some research found that the cotyledons are not to consider as the first set of leaves, the serrated ones are.
 
Thank you.
My second grow I’m doing a pair of haze #1 and since one is 10 days older than the other so I decided to do the older one nugbuckets way and the youngest one nebula.

They look like two different strains. I just topped the oldest for the second time and first top for the younger. The older is growing flat I haven’t had to bond it yet and the younger it’s growth tips are pointed up and I’ll have to bond them even before the young old one. The older had 3 fan leaves for the 3rd node and the younger 5 and on the young the leaves are bigger and the stems purple. The older one also got some nute burn on the 3rd node fan leaves which concerned me since I’m doing kindsoil.

Can I use the cutoff portion as a clone? Set it in some water and see if it grows?

Thanks,

If you have enough growth on the cuttings then it's a perfect use for cloning. Unless you are aerating the solution the shoot may not be able to get some roots going.
 
hey mad tit is my understanding witch can and is wrong at times lol that you can clone Autos but the clone is the same age as the mother ,so it will go into bloom at the same time. that could be cool a plant with one cola hmm
 
photos cool you can absolutely clone the tops last year for my outside grow that was all I took was the tops for clones and I think I got 3 top clones from each plant
 
Morning MarkyJ, you have got them looking good, and if you stay on top of everything it want be hard to grow that Haze, they love that KindSoil an so do i, it's super easy to grow in.Nice job.
 
Morning MJ, looking great, I sure hope they don't grow to tall, but if they do, I know you will know how to keep all the colas the same length, the best you can, MJ can take all the training you can give it, and still grow like crazy, I think they like being mean to them.
Good Luck MarkyJ.
 
those are beauts. I'm at 13-15" now, was thinking of going another week. looking at this I'm thinking that would be a mistake. I'll be watching how you work it out. hopefully it won't be any trouble, just stalks of buds.
 
the Seedsman description mentions a large amount of stretch with this strain. warning outgrowing your space. I guess they're meant to get big
