Hey man, at what node did you top her?
She's looking good, I'd say you did a good job, but I would leave a little bit more of that stem as it acts as a manifold for when the stems get thicker.

Ah ok I see what you mean. You thinking a considerate bit more possibly half node length? I topped at 5th node is that about right? Thanks for the quick reply!

not sure how you counted 5th node, but i assume you can see it better then I can. It looked like the 3rd to me, from looking at the pic. Maybe 4th, are you counting the cotyledons as the first set? technically those dont count as a set.
Really though, looks just fine. Growers usually top at 3rd or 4th node. IDK what technique your trying to use, sounds like your aiming for a short bushy plant? Or are you thinking about doing a scrog? either way, your doing fine. I am not a fan of multiple toppings. not saying it doesn't work, just that its not for me. good luck!

Sorry bout that i meant to type 3. It's the 3rd above 1st leaf (not cotyledons). As this is my first grow I was aiming for bushy by way of some lst, didn't want to bite off more than I could chew first go round. I'll just be doing the 1 top this time I think.
