I'm going to be topping my plants for the second time later an just wanting to know if its best to take off all these tops?If not then how many? An also the first time I topped the tops was too small to pull off using my fingers so I cut them off..but now they're big enough to take off without scissors so which would cause less stress or wouldn't it matter??

If you have the room (the plant will be bushier) top them all. I don't think it matters how you do it per se. I will admit I always use scissors, but I'm a little anal about keeping things sterile...and I have fat fingers so...haha.

Cheers for info mate I've just topped all the lot with sterile scissors..the busier the better..don't mind waiting the extra time in veg if needs be so that I get a bigger yield

Not all strains respond well to topping. Some strains give you their full potential only after some topping, but not all. I have a ogk that responded well to all the topping and now has 40+ delicious looking frosty tops!
