hey guys ive got 5 plants growing right now and tomorrow they'll be one month into veg. i've already topped all plants once and they've fattened out nicely, but i was wondering if i should go ahead and top the side branches as well. will this increase my yield?? how many times do you usually top your plants??

hmm, if you make more tops you can got bigger weight but quality can go down I mean THC and if you topping too much times one more thing is that, your plants may can;t start flowering.
Normally is one time, and I recommended toping with 4 head tops.

It's a personal choice on topping, some people don't top, but then get more popcorn buds on the rest of the plant and a nice main kola.

Usually people top at least once or twice, and that just helps Bush out the plant more, it really depends on your amount of space.

If you want to try and Scrog, then top it 4 or 5 times, and lst the tops over, FIM it out underneath and you'll have a nice screen full of decent kolas, and no little popcorn buds.

It depends so much on light and space and time. The more tops, generally the more work you will have. If you have nice strong lights then top it once or twice and leave it. Your light should have enough penatration to give you bud all the way down.

If it's a weaker light, or fluorescent, then top it lots and FIM it out underneath, it will have a Nice canopy to collect all the light.

Experiment, cannabis is resilient.
