when is a good time to top a plant

How long should i wait to top my plants...its been about 2 and a half weeks now and i know i need to wait longer...but this is going to be my first top so I would like to have an idea of when I should do it...thanks

I did my first top between 4th and 5th node, cut anywhere and new leaves will grow in 2 different directions

i was going to cut underneath the cola...is that the idea? or should i snip off leaves from my branches?

inbetween the 3rd and 5th node cut the main stem off at the top :thumbsup:

Check this out. I remember seeing this EXCELLENT link awhile back. It took me a minute to find it. Thank BlazeIdo for providing it initially.

how long does it take for the new shoots to grow in after topping?

they start vegging out almost immediately; you'll have new branches in a week.

I like to do it early.

Should or can you top a lowryder plant?

you can top any plant, imo; i am the topping king; i have some bushes that were topped at least ten times.

in the end, the buds are small, but there's loads of em, and they add up.
