Should I uncle Ben 1 week into flowering?

I have a 9" Indica unknown strain, and It started showing pistils at nodes 3 days ago. :mrgreen: should I do the uncle Ben technique to get 4 main colas instead of 2 real quick before it goes into full flowering? Or will that stress it out too much?

No, I would love to debate this if anyone disagrees. Topping removes equal to 1 or more nodes. At this point your yeild is reduced because you chopped off future bud sites and until your plant grows more nodes to replace your in the negatives. If you top in the fruiting stage your plant wont have enough time to regain your lost nodes, let alone profit from the topping.

Thanks for the input, I was wondering but when I think about it I'm like I might as well just let it bud. I'll upload pics tomorrow, I would now but I'm faded 2 joints of some hybrid kush. Idk what it is lol, I'll upload a pic of buds too :) :joint::hump::blsmoke::roll::hump::mrgreen:

Like he said you will be cutting yields at that point. Do it at least a week before going into flowering.
