hey

Topping is the removal of the entire newest growth tip at the top of the plant to induce new branching and spur more growth tips. You can top your plant at any time, but its best to wait until the 5th or 6th node, and refrain from topping if you're already flowering.

Guerilla_Farmer is growing every day.Guerilla_Farmer is growing every day.

Where to top depends on the grower. some people do it at the 2nd or 3rd node.....i do mine at about the 4th....just all depends on how you want ur plants to look....

if you want short bushy plants, top at 2 or 3, if you don't really care how tall they get, top at when it's taller 5+

Peacefully ,
