I think I topped and then waited a couple days before I removed the lower nodes. Then tie down the branching at the 4th. Wait for the lower growth to get up to the canopy and then start training it out.

Thank you Gunner2. And welcome most definitely u can tag along more minds the better right.
Hey buddy
Honestly depends how well it responds but usually day or two I’ve seen plants not even miss a beat as well.
I removed the lower nodes same day why it was already in shock why shock it again on few days let it take the beaten at that point and see what she is made of
Hell yea! If she can handle the topping and node removal all st once you know she’s going to be strong pusher and can handle some heavy defoil During grow to!

Nice @Mr. Magoo yours look good i was so nervous cutting all that off but i know it will all pay off in the end. Our girls must be about same age, hopefully both of our girls recover well and continue to grow strong..
Hey Dank, looking good, nice job! I'd probably recommend moving those hangars to the outside edge of the pot. Eventually they need to go there and you don't want those roots wrapping around it. Get some pipe cleaners, or ticklers as @Smeegol calls them, and tie them down towards the hangars around the edge. Soft garden ties with the rubber covered wire work well also.

Thanks for the advice @MrSauga i will move them. Roughly how many more weeks before the flip do think?
Well they say it takes about 6 weeks to become sexually mature, but it also depends how tall you want them to be before flip. I let mine go almost 60 days which was too long but it never hurt anything. Fem seeds may take less to show their sex, or maturity.

I was planning on 6 weeks witch i believe is like 2.5 more weeks. I dont want them getting to tall on me. would that be long enough after the quadline to have a heavy yeild?
Honestly I would pass this on to @Asesino85 or @Mr. Magoo who have a better understanding on timeframes and yields
I was reading through this thread and came across the above post. I am always trying to learn and I wanted to take a moment to ask why fem seeds take less time to show their sex then regular seeds?
Ahhh, that's why I said "may". Honestly I have no idea. My thinking was the fem seed is already a female, it doesn't need to show it's sex so it may become mature earlier. Males generally show their sex a couple of weeks before females. So, although I don't know, it was more for a suggestion to Dank that his plant may be ready to flip before 6 weeks.
A female regular seed is already a female too. You just don't know if the regular seed you're growing is a boy or a girl. I grow mostly regular seeds and although I've never made a conscious note of it I believe the males show their sex a week or two after the females. This give the female time to start flowering, producing pistils at which point the male will start to mature to pollinate her.
