Hey everyone:

I read "Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas" and did some subsequent searches on topping but am still a little confused. This is my first grow and I am having trouble locating exactly where to top and if it is too late or not.

Thanks in advance guys! Any help would be awesome!!

yeah unfortuntely you are a little late to follow that guide, yu would be chopping off weeks of growth. You could still top it if you wanted to but your plants are pretty bushy anyways. I would recommend some low stress training to get the side branches up closer to the canopy. Also, you should trim up the bottom branches that aren't getting adequate light.

I had a feeling I was a little late. Thanks for the input man. I'll trim up some bottom branches. But for the LST, I was planning on ScrOG method - I'm not sure if you can see the netting in the pictures. Would you recommend LST over ScrOG? IMO they are very similar and just a different means to an end.

Thanks again

thanks for your input guys! I topped today so, hopefully, the plants dont freak out and they grow to be nice stinky girls (they're clones so I know they're female) :eyesmoke:
