At what point can I begin to top? I've read where you should wait for 2nd full set of leaves, Is this a good rule of thumb?

I've read that you should wait until the 4th or 5th node, with the first set of cannabis leaves being 1st node.

I've read that you should wait until the 4th or 5th node, with the first set of cannabis leaves being node 1.

My preferred method and I have topped at almost every stage so far I like to top just above the 5th true node (Not the cotyledons) but that being said I have topped just above the first node with no problem I just prefer my plant being a bit older before I circumcise

yep i usually top the third set of true leaves when they are big enough

Thanks for the reply ColoradoHigh, I'll be waiting patiently.

I topped mine after the 4th, hope it works. It is my first grow!
