Im currently vegging using 125w dual spec bulb

Just ordered a lab90 grow tent will be using a 400 hps bulb for flowing

Well...first off...are they feminized seeds? If they are...they say the plant is mature when the nodes start alternating form eachother...not directly across from another. Or when you start seeing preflowers they say it's "mature" also. But...i've seen people take clones as early as 6 weeks.

Really i'll give that a try whens best to top a plant? and also when new growth appears can that be topped when grown?

If you're cutting off the new growth...that's usually called "fim"ing the plant. What you do is cut off 80% of the new growth...and you usually get 4-6 new tops.

They say to top i think above the 4th node? maybe 6th? haha...i don't remember. Here's a link to show you the fim'ing technique. CLICK ME!!!!

To get 4 main colas, you wanna top just above the second true node. Look up Uncle Ben's Topping Techniques. Really good info there. I believe my first statement is correct, but not 100% so you know. Just tryin' to help.

Looking good man....you feeding them yet? You can probably start as soon as you'd like...I usually like to wait at least 2 weeks.

Can i top my 2 week old plant now i seen some on here that looks topped very early on as it grew 4?

No problem. And I would say top just above the three-bladed leaves when the next node is a little more developed. Make sure you don't fuck up the alternating nodes on the node with the three-bladed leaves. Those will be two of your colas.

No worries. I'm pretty novice, too. Just learning a lot, which is very fun. Nodes are each 'level' of branches, if you will. Alternating nodes are the ones the new branches that grow in between the fan leaves and the main stem. Cannabis is basically a multiplying plant. It shows more exponential growth than anything. The alternating nodes are what will start to grow straight up when your main stem is topped. How's that? Lemme know if you need more help or clarification.
