Where to crop?!?

[KK26]

I've just topped mine on their 7th node to be individually scrogged and they are young. 3rd week from seed and doing fine.

Gotcha. Well 6.5' tall tent, I was planning on going by this tutorial here for the most part I think - https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold - unless you recommend going for something different. I'd rather them not get too tall in the end. Time isn't much of a issue, whatever works best. I think I'm only around 4 nodes or so currently.

6.5' tall but don't forget to subtract your grow medium height and all vertical space the lights, fan+filter take at the top. I haven't done manifolding or mainlining myself but those who have been successful with it have shown great results. IMO, there isn't a lesser option for training or plant manipulation as long as it's done in a patient and healthy manner to not cause excessive stress to the plant. Go for it.

I agree with above.

In addition, if you don't want to add more time to veg, then don't top it since you've shown concern it's been 4 weeks. The plant will bounce back quickly but it'll need more time to bush out.

If you don't top it, it'll continue to grow lanky and high which could effect bud density and yield. Either way it'll produce but depends on what's important to you.

It’s my first grow so I’m still learning... so should I top it or just let it grow? I have a 5’ tall tent

Is this an auto? If so top on the higher spot if not top where you want.

It’s not an auto

Then I would top the lower spot and have an even canopy.

assume you're bringing it outside, then back inside? If so why? And be careful about bringing in bugs then.

Glad I wasn’t the only one worried about that! That’s a tough lesson to learn on your own

Then I’d clone that top
