Advise on topping please?

[MrVape]

Hi guys, could do with some advise.

Im planning my next grow. 4 plants in a DR60. 4 different strains, Barnies Utopia Haze & Vanilla Kush, GHS SLH, & Nirvana White Snow. Soil - Finishing in 11ltr pots.

This is my first attempt at growing regular strains so not sure what would be the best method. I can only veg 4-5 weeks from seed. Because of height restrictions I was thinking of topping the 2 hazes (uncle bens 2 cola method) and leave the other 2, hoping that should even up the canopy and give me enough head room? Not sure if 4-5 weeks veg is enough time to allow topping though?

How would you top these, if at all? Any suggestions?

top then supercrop the brances... that will keep things low so u can veg longer...

 

[MrVape]

Thanks. Should have mentioned tho, I cant veg any longer because of time.

I heard it takes 2-3 weeks to get to the stage to top using uncle bens method, but as I only have 4-5 weeks veg max Im worried that if I top and switch too early they wont grow very well or effect yield??

Do some lst to it

Do some lst to it

Yeh, did consider that but really dont wanna get too creative with lst on my first proper grow incase I mess it up lol.

I would say top them at the 4th or 5th node. Giving them a few weeks to grow a little before throwing into Flower. Probably be a 12"-18"or so...when you start flower...hopefully more!
Good luck!

 

[MrVape]

Thanks.

So I should just top them all the same way yeah? How do they grow out topping 4-5 node? I heard you get different number of colas depending how you top.

Try different ways on each and you will get to see the difference.

Yeh, might do....thanks..
