when to top

when are you supposed to top a plant? size/age?

I think I got this one fellas :) :) :)

If you are going to top, do it between the 4th and 5th growth nodes.

But, if you don't need to top, bend her over and tie her down.

Why do you assume you are "SUPPOSED" to top...just out of curiosity?

I agree with Harddon, I don't understand the need to top at this point, However I am only on my second grow (Getting ready to flower) & Starting my 3rd grow. My first grow I didn't top and I was pretty happy with the results.

My second grow I have topped half of my plants just to see if they really do yeild any more bud that the non-topped plants. However I tie them all over anyways, It is amazing how all the secondary growth shoots up to the top and makes the plant look more like a bush.

Just my 2 cents worth....

Have a great day!

I grew two of the same strain topped one and not the other and they both more or less had the same yield. The topped one is shorter and if you worry about how tall it is would be the only reason to top.

thanks
