Hey guys!

I feel really bad, but its for the greater good!

1st pic you actually fimmed it. after you cut more it looks topped. it may grow 3 shoots instead of 2.

 

[MrSteroids1]

yes you did, it's fine like this

 

[daloudpack]

good job

 

[jacksthc]

too early, will take a long time to grow but the small shoots are there

 

[Porky101]

OK thanks guys...

I read that you should top on the 3rd - 5th node...

I topped the 5th node... So was it too early?

 

[thewanderer718]

[GreenThumbsMcgee]

No. Its fine. Thats when i top also. Give it a few days to a week. You'll see yr 2 new shoots from the sides

you need to have a good set of nodes after you top the plant because they become the main shoots
if there really small it stunts the plants but if there a good size, like an inch long, the plant carrys on growing as if you didn't top the plant

thats why you need 2 days to a week lol

"if there really small it stunts the plants but if there a good size"

I have not read this anywhere else, can you provide a source for this please? Is it from your own experience? Or did you hear/read this??

Thanks!
