topping

i topped it twice and tied down a shit load of branches.. Did I do something wrong? It kind of seems like it's not growing ideally- but on the other hand it seems that all the leaves are able to get direct light. I was wondering if I should untie some branches to let it grow taller? I'm...

Week 5 Flower - 5 x Incredible Bulk HI Guys So this garden is in a tent 1.2 x 2.4 x 2.0m, I using 20L pots with coco+ as the medium. For light I have 3 x 600 w on digital switchable ballasts so they can hit 630w each with boost or go as low as 400w for veg. I used 1x 600w MH bulb for veg as...

I got a Blue Cookies clone last week :) It's my 1st clone. All my other plants I grew from seed so they're pretty symmetrical making topping very straight forward, snip the top just above the 2 little nubs on either side & there you go. With this clone the nubs that could grow into branches...

I've heard from a couple of different sources that when you top your plant it causes the taproot to stop growing (and the only roots that continue to grow are the rootlets coming from the taproot). Can anybody either confirm or refute this? I've only recently heard this and it's putting doubt in...

Hey guys just seeing whats every ones preference on outdoor grow whether to top plants or let them grow naturally. And is it a good idea to top them 1 month before they start flowering?

29 days since they sprouted and I have only topped them once(until today) and used LST. I just topped each plant about 2-4 times each (didn't do it scientifically, just went on instinct) and don't plan on it again because I'm running out of horizontal space. Right now I'm having trouble keeping...

Alright, newb question. Is FIMing and Topping only done to areas of new growth coming off the very top of the main stem, or can you do it to areas of new growth on branches? It's okay to laugh at me.

I was thinking of doing a Scrog in my veg tent then move the plant to the flower tent and also Scrog there(bigger one of course). Or would it be better to tie down my veg plants after topping them instead of Scrog. and only do a scrog in my Flower tent? Limited grow experience, would like to get...

Hi all, I am a somewhat newbie grower doing my first LED grow. I have grown twice before with between 250 and 350w of CFL’s, but those grows were very low budget and poorly controlled in an unventilated closet. Not Took in something like 25 and 40 grams off of some unhealthy, heat stressed...
