having 6.5 ft. to work w/ is irrelivent doco .
even if your using a 1000w. hps. the most penetration you'll get is approx. 4 ft. the lower parts of the plant will be under devoloped n light starved . i let mine veg. for 1 additional week after topping to help eliminate some of the strech .

xcrispi Reviewed by xcrispi on . Too late to Top?? Ok, I've thinned down the garden to the girls I'm keeping and gave 5 others to a friend. Because some of the tall ones turned out to be girls too, I'm thinking of topping a couple. I want to start flowering in a week or two...is it too late to top? They are on their 7th or 8th nodes and I just transplanted tonight into their final 3 gallon pots. I'm concerned that by topping they may be in shock for awhile and starting to flower so soon after topping might have an adverse effect? Rating: 5
