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? :confused:

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??

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!

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.
