you can still top it but you arent going to see a HUGE split like you would have if it was topped earlier.

yeah he will esp if he is in the n. hemi. where bloom doesnt start till later aug.

In my Jorge Cervantes book it says to avoid pruning up to a month before flowering so I think we should be good.

Here is the one I wish to top once it gets a little bigger.

any idea what could be causing this?

exile2362 · Jun 25, 2010

also would it be better to top it or just let it grow. which would yield more?

no definitely not too late to top it. you got plenty of time.

dont top it.. let the big bud grow, cut the lower limbs and let them split & bud
