Hi, #1 is a lot bigger than #2 and #3. (2.5ft/1.5ft.) If I topped it, might this slow it down a bit, so the others can catch up?
Also, can a plant be mature without alternate branching? These 3 are bigger than most people flower, 6 or 7 nodes, very thick stems, and with new branches growing out of the original nodes, but no sign of alternate branching.
thanks

Why not just tie her down instead? You can let the rest of that plant catch up with the secondary branches and the rest of the grow

As fo r the second queston, I highly doubt it. That is one of the traits of the plant.

I'm the new biggest advocate of the tie down. No reason to top any more. I got an untopped plant that is tied so its about 5.5 inches tall(should be almost a foot untied), and it has about nine points of growth now. It looks like a dang bonsai shrub or something. I placed the plant close to the rim of its pot, and tied the tip to the other side when it was ready. The tie caused the entire stem(not just a portion) to widen substantially as well. So much less stressful to tie down(more stress, more males!). BUT, this is just my opinion on the matter and I realize many people have great results from topping. Good growin buddy. BTW you can flower plants that haven't begun alternating, but I think yield is affected.
