No possibility of over stressing the plant?I'd just go ahead and do it
As soon as your axillary buds start growing your 2 new terminals shoots you can start training them outwards. Topping is not near as stressful as most would imagine. I don't think it's much of a stress at all. Mow your yard, top your plants, all the same.I just topped my 3 week old plant yesterday, and am wanting to do LST as well, how long should I let the plant recup before I begin?
