Dude!!! If you posted this from the start first answer would of been right. Every thing is great. If your going to make a mother out of the first pic you need to top it. Got some claw going on in the 2nd pic but that happens. Your golden and plants are healthy.

If it's a mom you need to top. It's easy look at the top nodes and cut 80% off it. And You can top after the 4th node no worries. And yes everything looks great.

Basically a node is where you have 2 fan leaves coming off the stock/stem. If you cut the center of each node you create 2 stems that make new nodes. And you can do this many times. For more info on this search SCROG. So basically a nodes is where you see 2 fan leaves.

No. The part you cut will be the clone and what you leave will start 2 new branches. This is what gives you many colas not just 1 main.

I was gonna take the clones from the branches not the main stem never saw it being done like this wow I suck

If you going to make a clone. You should count back 4 nodes. Hold the top in 1 hand cut just above the 4th node. What is in your hand is now the clone. Dip in cloning solution or just water. Now the location you cut will heal but also split in 2 so now you have 2 stems. And twice the nodes once there ready.

just checkin in, you can either top or train, topping can take off a few days from veg cycle but for a mother its beneficial because it responds by being more bushy. good post warlock.
