Should I top my plant?

[rct420]

I am just wondering if I should top my plant ? I am on my first go around and they are at about 4 or 5 nodes . I am just curious when or if I even should .

These are all 3 of the ones I am growing right now and that's all I am growing atm

What strain are they ....but they look pretty good....maybe hut em on next node growth

 

[Mag7]

I would, but that's just me.

I agree.

I believe they are gorilla glue and where would I cut it at the middle like in the picture ?

The image below depicts where to top between the nodes:

I typically top around the 5th node.

Should I be wearing gloves or no ? And I'm going to wait another node an then do it

You do not need to wear gloves. Do use a clean, sterile blade or scissor to make the cut.

I like your plan to let your plants grow a little more before topping. They are looking good.

I only have these for the first grow . I wish I would've started more but this is what I got this time so I am trying to do it perfect so the plants can take advantage of the light

Top'em and eat the tops! Trust me.

This guy was topped at 10 days at the 4th node

Day 15 and she seems to be doing pretty good, all side shoots seem to be doing well

And looking pretty good from the top.

I'd say top em early if your gunna top em, why waste al the energy growing if your gunna cut it off

How do i cut it ? I am almost scared to do it

 

[Lilolme]

I looked it up and did what they call "fimmed". What that means is "fuck I missed'. If you google fimmed you will find where and how to cut. If you "miss" you will get more than the 2 shoots at the top, if you dont miss you will still get 2.

 

[Lilolme]

Note three limbs where I cut, the only one of four that grew more than two. You want a short plant with lots of limbs.

 

[Leeham]

I didn't cut mine, I just gently pinched the top most growth between my thumb and forefinger and pulled really gently and it sort of popped off.

Finally topped her !

Yes topping works wonders
