Topping before flower

I accidentally posted this once in Harvesting and Curing but I don't know how to delete or move threads so I am re-posting. How much time do you give a plant to recover from topping before moving into flower?

all depends on the strain/pheno type and what you're trying to do.

min. one week. Highly suggest 10-14 days. let it grow and take clones as the tops. You need at least 3 nodes for a clone.
