I'm pretty sure you want to top it once it has about 5 nodes (someone who knows more should correct me if I'm wrong). I'm guessing you just wasted a little bit of plant energy by not topping earlier, but it'll still get multiple colas from topping now.

Just curious, so you're topping a plant that you want to make into a mother plant. I guess that makes sense, multiple main stems means even more branches. So do you think its better to always top plants you plan on taking a lot of clones from?

Oh so what you're saying is that you have already cut off branches and taken clones and now are going to top the plant?

i normaly do top untill i got a few nodes on it first ,

but their have been a time or 2 where i said fuck it and i toped the very first node ,

it didnt hurt it when i did it though , but it did slow down the growth for a few days....

but it is best to wait untill you get a few nodes first......:peace:
