I'm in week 4 from seed with my Blackberry Kush. 1st time I understand this is a slow starting strain looks healthy, I would like to top not sure if I should or not I only count 2 nodes, would like some input please

There's 5 nodes there and going on the 6th. Yes it'd be totally safe to top it.

I would not top that just yet my friend.
That is a baby still and topping is a stressful form of training.
Id wait another week or so (I train my plants differently to most tho)

You could top it. What is your light source? At 4 weeks even from seed you should be bigger then that. It's not stretching so that's good. It just shouldn't be that stalled.

Yes I think its cause I had it at a high humidity for the first 3 wks up to 99%. Now I keep it at 40%. Consensus on this particular strain is that their slow starters so take that into account. Overall I think it looks healthy. Started with rapid rooter this week showed much improvement in just two days. First time I'm learning much from you good folks here THANKS

The very very top u could barely see it at least I can, got a little droopy at first but perked right up with a little water. Believe me, I will keep you posted trying a coupe techniques plan on crushing the stem a little on the girl I just started,

My personal topping rule is wait til 5-6 growth node and when you can see the secondary branches little leaf sets formed at the corners of the nodes.
They usually take off quick then.

I just look at the plant and see where i want the plant to branch out at lol.
