When is the best time to top your plant?

When you switch over to Flowering? Or soon there after?


Any help would be great


Thanks in advance

you dont want to top during flowering...youll cut off buds
id say most people top their plants once around 4th or 5th node, then maybe again later in veg.
personal preference but dont top during flowering

Yes BizzareBud. It also creates TWO buds rather than one


So if my plant is growing on the 6th node right now, should I still cut off one of the 5th node branches?

Or should I go ahead and chop one of these branches on top off?



Im lookin to do this to like 2 out of 3 of my plants... unless suggested otherwise


Thanks for all your help guys

:peace:

yes it creates two budsites while in veggie mode and is still growing
you top a flowering plant and two new branches do not occur because the plant is growing buds not branches so youre only hurting yourself there.

i have no idea weather you are in veg or flower but if veg then top those bitches if you want.

so what branch do I "top" off? One of the V branches i assume... but it doesnt matter which one? And once I top, it wont grow any taller?

so you would cut off a branch as you would a clone? just flesh with the stem I assume.


Or do you cut off the very top part thats growing new leaves?


Thanks and sorry for the confusion

The easiest way to tell is too look at your uppermost part of your plant where the top comes out and it's in the middle of where you see the side branches coming from the main stem. KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!
