I've had a fair few splits in my time. It hurts for sure.
This one was so small and uniform I didn't need to top or train.....should say "didn't have the time to top or train". My OCD likes the symmetry, but doesn't like the size
One of me mates had a nice 6ft BC mango going in the yard last year and drought hit. The possums ate the main cola for moisture. They didn't look to energetic the next morning though lol. Was only like a week off from harvest. Plant ended up getting a disease where it was all chewed up and share itself soon after..
My thoughts are try it and you'll like it! If outdoors l stop training by mid July usually to give them time to get strong before flowering. Plants start shooting preflowers by mid August depending on strain in My area.Does anyone top the tops? AKA, you top it and let the side branches catch up then top the tops you originally topped? If that makes senseI have thought about it outdoors by never tried it nor thought about it. Thoughts?
usually ill train the top two nodes horizontally instead of topping again and the bottom three or so nodes will catch up, and sometimes end up above the top two. I grow autos though, so I have limited time. With a photoperiod that has more nodes and time, I can't see it slowing anything down, you'll just end up with a hedge, which isn't a problem.Does anyone top the tops?
