Yea she can be topped g. But I wouldn't just yet. Let her fan leaves get a little bigger so she can soak in the light . And have energy to heal faster.Hey all. So this plant is a survivor of overwatering, and if you cant tell, the first true set of leaves are a little small. Basically, is she/he (dont know yet) ready to be topped? Thanks!
Usually I shoot for fimming. Sometimes I go a little to light on the pinch and it only slowsInstead of topping, try FIMing. That should keep them from slowing down too much
Can’t go wrong with topping and lst...So, this is my first grow, and im really inexperienced, so out of all your expert opinions, what method of pruning/training/cropping would be the easiest and most efficient for a newbie like me? (Thanks for all the replies!)
I'll second that it's tried and true. There is a really solid scrogging tutorial somewhere just Google it because I don't remember if its from this site. But really you just bookmark the page and follow along. EasyCan’t go wrong with topping and lst...

Hmm I dunno, a newbie doing LST carries risks of broken branches!Can’t go wrong with topping and lst...
I agree, fimming is way less stressful, and if you are a noob the less stress you can put on the plants, the better.Instead of topping, try FIMing. That should keep them from slowing down too much
It's my first grow, I'm using LST, scrog and fimming. A little over kill, but you have to learn somehow.I agree, fimming is way less stressful, and if you are a noob the less stress you can put on the plants, the better.
You’d have to be a dumass to mess lst up bro, simpliest thing ever, there are plenty of videos and threads/pages etc and tbh toppings even easier, saying that I only topped when I first grew, then next time around lst’d And never went back lol.Hmm I dunno, a newbie doing LST carries risks of broken branches!
Gotta learn from the start sometime, but maybe not on the first harvest, when disappointment strikes hard
Yes it is lol, I was too lazy to go buy a new pot, so i drilled some holes in an old pop corn container and filled it with dirt lmao.Wait a minute... i just realized... that plant is growing in a plastic popcorn container isn't it?
tip: the branches are more likely to snap if plump with water, it's best to bend while the plant is thirsty. (or so they say)Ill use lst to pull them down and make all the colas the same height.
Thanks for the tip! Greatly appreciated! Yeah I usually water every 4-5 days when the soil feels pretty much bone dry about an inch down. The soil I used apparently retains water (which I only found out about recently) so it can go a while without needing another water, and I don't water more than like a shot glass or twotip: the branches are more likely to snap if plump with water, it's best to bend while the plant is thirsty.

Weight of the pot is a good indicator of when you need water, make a habit of lifting it and noting the weight. You will need more water later on, a midsize adult plant can drink half a gallon a day, easy. Hopefully your soil is not too heavy, it looks a bit lacking in perlite, what’s the product?Thanks for the tip! Greatly appreciated!
