hi mate. hope ur OK after hospital!
and hope ur plants going well
When u top the plants do u see an obvious change in the growth of the side branches?

I'm also a st timer but i spent £550, nearly $800 on two tents two lights and one extraction system. with the first crop we got back all of the money we out in but i had 7 plants, 5 skunk No, and 4 white rhino. the skunk grew very tall and quickly.
the next crop is cheese, a strain thats very strong. although i only have 5 seeds.
do u think topping these would increase yield? or what.
