Never said you can't do it man. It's just generally not a good idea. Im not trying to make you look stupid or anything like I said to each their own but you're making it sound like you're some sort of elite pioneer when really most of us know better
Btdubbs your momma jokes were funny in the 90's. Now we laugh at people's tiny plants

So what size should my olant be at 2 weeks? I'm only questioning the questionable...I take all feedback as possitive. And lol no I'm no pioneer nut at 44 yrs old I have learned and did alot to plants...I have studied these plants for a very long time. I can tell you I have grown over 3000 plants in my lifetime and not once do I ever say it can't be done..its the closed mind that never exceeds expectation. I've noticed with some of the well known members are stuck on only what they know and not willing to get a different perspective. That's why the momma joke came about...was childish just like your remarks...was very fitting

Did you see your momma too? I love making closed minded people wrong...I got a couple side by side comparison videos I'm gonna post one lst and one topped at second all in bud stage same strain same settings I'm gonna make sure to tag you in it bro stay tuned

How long do you intend to veg this plant for to get a decent yield??
 
i cant do light math but i can do math math lol you been doing this 29 years and you are 44 so either you moved out young or started in your single parents and or theier partners basement

Lol ya I try to keep it pretty humourous around here.
Listen man, I'll level with you. There's ways to minimize time lost by topping or whatever. So you top at 2 nodes, I top at 5 then strip or lst the rest. While your plant is trying to recover with 2 leaves mine is growing vigorously sending out more 'solar panels' by the day. My rate of photosynthesis exceeds yours tenfolds. Root growth, vegetative growth, stem thickening. Once I top mine my root system is huge and can easily handle a small loss. There's still plenty of photosynthesis happening due to having more leaves than your plant. At say 3 weeks of veg my plant will be much larger than yours with more branches. It's really basic science man. That's why I'm pulling your leg some with the YouTube content. You can't and won't convince me otherwise because it's simply not true.

Not so sure that topping is best practice period, LST wont stunt or slow growth. And if done right you get bushes with no doninate top to speak of. Some strains branch out without any training. I only top if too agressive with lst.

It depends on what you are doing. For example a two room perpetual with cuttings from cuttings means quite a long veg time to play with. Stunting with topping, reducing height but adding total tops, it can control a particular set-up, in regard to veg times and desired end heights. Keeping mothers has it's own pro's and cons, as does always growing from seed.

going scrog...month and a half from now is what I'm aiming for but depends on the growth...it grows fast bro its 17 days old from sprout..no body on here believes this but I really don't care.....its got 4 tops now and soon as it hits the net is on..going diagonal with each top pointed towards each corner from center.

That's cool man. I really dont doubt you. I try to waste as little time as possible in veg. It costs more on the electricity and builds up heat etc. So loosing days in veg basically costs money. If you add up the time over a year you could prob get another crop in with all the time you lost. But if you dont care about that then ... Whatever right?

Mate you grow however you please they your plants.
I personally would never top a plant at the 2nd node.
My plants are 4.5 weeks old and easily more than twice the size of the pic you posted.
If it's 2 weeks old and you intend to veg for another month and a half that's 8weeks veg then flip I think you will get less bud than I will if I veg my plants for 6 weeks simply because my plant had less time recovering in veg stage.
