I performed the topping at a very early stage of growth and so far all seems ok.

There are some other growers that used this tecnique ? Can you share your diary please ?

Here my diary for any comment or suggestion:


Thank you guys.

In my experience topping them that early slows growth too much and isn’t as effective as waiting until like 5th node or so, then topping and spreading out. I tried early topping methods, manifolding messing around probs like most people here as well. Just my 2, Happy Growing
 
Looks ok, leaving that nub where you topped will help with not splitting later. The second top you could just grow 4 nodes and take the first and 3rd and speed up your training. This one went 16 tops.

Myself prob wouldn’t bother manifolding again.
