If you had the height????

Would you top or fim your plants if you could grow them to at least 5'inside I am debating to top or not to?
Any opinions? This is one at 3 weeks today.

id top i like how they grow when there topped

Whould it not bush out and just get talller and fatter.

don't top if you don't have to, except maybe if you have plants at different sizes and want a canopy all the same height.

When you top your plant, it takes time (2 sometimes 3 weeks) for a topped plant to start growing again. Instead of 1 top, you'll now have 2, but with a couple week delay for that process to start growing again. If time is NOT a constraint, go ahead and top. IMHO, LST (low stress training) is a very good way to keep the grow at a certain height, and you can pick that height. Nothing is taken away, and growth keeps on growing. It is explained in the grow FAQ on how to do this. I recommend it highly.

mine always just split into 2 tops instead of one and carry on getting taller but fatter aswell and more top collas,

Thank's sb
Basically that was my question. I have 3 different sizes but I can adjust the conopy anywhere I like. I want tall plants. People top to keep them shorter? No?

o plus if u top u use that for clones

thnk nimbl
I was thinking of going to flowering next week. So I won't top.

i think in hydro it takes less time to start growing again after topping. like a day or two compared to a week or two. i grow hydro and they heal and continue growth within 24 hours of topping.
