Did I top correctly?

I cut it off, and purpleish liquid starting coming out lol. This is my first go at topping, hopefully I didn't fuck it up.

Should have waited till ur 4th or 5th node but it will be ok

you topped too early and wrong,but it should be ok eventually.Thats gonna be 1 short plant.

Topping the plant means that you remove the main shoot located on the central stem; just above a node.

Most people wait until the 4th node or so but you can top it as early as one. I've seen some wild bushes, do keep in mind the more you cut the longer the veg.

A great guide to all kinds to trimming/cropping/training ideas can be found here.

Im new, so take it with a grain of salt. But with the mainlinign technique, which is super awesome. It is cut down to the first node. So I don't think you cut it too early. You did however cut at the wrong spot Evender BROlyfield. You're supposed to cut right above where the node is. Not right above where fan leaves are. I think it will take a sec for the nodes to develope right where the pockets are at the previous uncut node. Good luck Bro Jackson.

wrong but it will work
