does this look big enough to top?

Just starting your third node? No Way. Look i started out with 3 plants, i topped this one here, waited a month to see what it did, topped her sister, waited to see what she did and the other one i left.

What i gathered from this "Topping" is that you take the top single main cola off the plant, allowing the two cola's inbetween the node right below that to now be the top cola.

Thus ... Your two.

Now the first one i topped, Didn't grow shit. I come to believe i topped it way to early. Like a couple weeks older than yours, but still to early.

So, - I'm no professional So i could be wrong. I'm just now harvesting my first grow... But this is what i've learned.

I would wait.

It's got five leaves correct?

It's now in the vegetative growth cycle right...?

I thought you could top and soon as it grows out of being a seedling.

But maybe wait another week...

Depends on how fast you little baby grows.

i top mine usually right before i go into flowering. so far everytime i get to main colas about the same size.

if you want to keep them short you can LST (tie them down) and they well grow horizontal

no way man to small, why do you want to top anyways?
cuz i want more colas? and yes i know that topping dosnt mean all the new colas are gonna be the same size as the original big cola i understand that these colas will be smaller but id rather have more smaller ones than 1 big one

if you want to try to convince me otherwise go for it


but i figured if i topped it while its short (probably let it get a couple nodes more) it will keep em shorter
