Thanks Krip. I will do just that.
Another question. I have read that some people top as soon as the plant reaches the 3rd internode (topping right above the third) and I have also read that some people wait until the plant grows the fourth or even fifth internode and then top (still above the third internode). My understanding is that waiting allows the plant to develop more roots and better rebound from the trauma. I wonder if this is worth it though, since both ways end up adding an extra week to grow time?
Can I ask people's opinion on this? Should I top sooner or later? Are there other advantages of waiting I am not aware of? Can you clone the topped section if you wait for the additional internodes to develop? I don't really have enough space to fit more than three plants in my tent, four might work but it will be crammed, but I am still drawn to the idea of having more plants. I always want more plants!
