When and IF 2 STOP topping a plant??

i like to teach proper methods. thanks for trying to correct me though.
-shakeheadshake Reviewed by headshake on . When and IF 2 STOP topping a plant?? I have this question.. Is it ok to top your plant as much as you want (obviously not over stressing it, and giving it healing time in-between toppings) until flowering time? I know topping, while your flowering, is not a good move, but as long as your in the vegetation stage it should be ok to top as much as you want right? I heard topping an un-feminized seed too much could result in hermaphridite or male charactorists such as beans and junk. ----anyone with experience on excessive Rating: 5
