Topping or not topping plants?

Post by jamieprov24 »

How much more will it benefit from doing. I thought about leaving some of them not topped to see the outcome.

Welcome to GR420 @jamieprov24. Did you attach a image? As it's not showing so it's difficult to tell.

I think topping is generally a good idea it seems to get the plant to bush out more and send more energy into the side branches rather than focusing more on the main stem.

Topping plants when growing indoors, always seems like good commen sense practice. Make use of the horizontal space & protect the precious vertical space.

I don’t top anymore just tend to bend the top over so the others have chance to catch up

I always top at lets say the 5-6th node , then i work the branches outwards with strings tied to pots or Bamboos . trimming the secondary bushing branches , lets me have multiple long colas without the bushy energy stealing crap sideshoots . kind of a Lollipop style grow
