Regeneration

[tony nice]

having trouble when trimming plants, i see that when topped the cuts will not regenerate anymore. they just turn brown and stay a stump with no new growth. Any reason on why this happens??

 

[Shugglet]

When that happens, the nodes directly beneath the cut will become the new tops.

oh okay, shouldnt it have new growths tho? and is it bad to do that or will it give more buds??

Are you in flower mode or veg mode?

 

[tony nice]

going into flowering outdoors

 

[Weedoozie]

I don't think you're supposed to top so close to flowering...

but I could be wrong.

if u top above nodes that r already growing,they will not sprout new growth from said node
only more growth on those growing tips

 

[darkdestruction420]

How long ago did you top them?

ok so was that a shitty thing to do have i ruined the growth???

 

[tony nice]

a few days ago and tried a different spot the other day and it did the same thing

Give them some time, you just stressed it and growth has slowed for a few days most likely or you did it too close to flowering.

ok should i try and shape them anymore or just leave them alone to do their thing and not stress them out

 

[darkdestruction420]

If you want to lst go ahead, knock yourself out.lol. I usually do. As you approach/begin flowering high stress training methods should not be used anymore however.

ok she was handling everything very well but now the growth seems to be slowing down a little but stays strong i thought my growth was done wen i snipped her new hands D:

no, alot of peole top and train their plants to increase yield.....only its usually done earlier in the grow
u may have taken a lil bit off ur yield(depending on how much u cut off) but nothing to be worried about
it should recover nicely
goodluck

alright i wasnt sure if that was too much stress and i hd stunted her but good to know nothing major. i only clipped 2 new sets of leaves 80% of they way down hoping the 20% would allow multiple growths but i was wrong. guess ill have to stay with the lst'ing

 

[darkdestruction420]

clipped new leaf sets? Do you mean branches or actual leaves?

im confused
is there 80% of the plant standing?
or 20%?

no no no lol ijust snipped 80% of a new leaf about to unfold so there is the 20% left of the base of the leaf but no new growth

Look up topping a plant - you are doing it wrong.

The idea is to cut the stem just above a node allowing the growth from the node to be your new tops.
