Good point on leaving the stump as a buffer.. great idea and advice.The OP hasn't been seen in these here parts for some time, but I can answer your question.
Yes, you can go ahead and top above the 4th node. When you do, leave a decent stump, as this will help prevent splitting later on as the plant gets bigger and stronger. The limbs will fight against the ties later on and it can become a weak point at the trunk, where a bit of a jostle from a bump or strong wind can cause the stem to split.
Leaving a good stump at this topping can help prevent that from happening.
Good luck with your quad! There are many who follow the practice so feel free to ask any questions that come up.
@Kanno26 has a grow going now that we helped him get started with quadlining and has asked some great questions as he learns. You can follow his here: Kanno's quadlining grow
I top at 4-5 and never remove lower nodes.. everything gets bent even and gets a chance to grow... If they stay small after a canopy is established then the lowers get cut(lollipop)Good morning , QuadSquaders. Have a quick question for you. My 7 ladies and undetermined Gigi are about to go under the proverbial knife.
You say remove nodes 1-4 but if nodes 5 &6 has a 3 leaf fan, do I keep them or remove them also?
Thanks for your time and have a great week-end.

Are you dealing with a clone with alternating nodes? Usually it's remove nodes 1-2, leaving nodes 3-4 and topping above the fourth.Good morning , QuadSquaders. Have a quick question for you. My 7 ladies and undetermined Gigi are about to go under the proverbial knife.

I thought that nodes 1-4 had to def. go. Thank youI top at 4-5 and never remove lower nodes.. everything gets bent even and gets a chance to grow... If they stay small after a canopy is established then the lowers get cut(lollipop)
Even if they are not mature with only 3 leafs? And yeah, a few are quite squat and nodes are teeny weeny. Should I wait to ensure a clean pinch off?Depending on how tall or squat she is, but if I’m going for the quad line I try for top above the 4th and cut off the 1st&2nd so the 3rd&4th r left
Not clones, seedlings. May I assume that by nodeds3-4, you mean 3rd and 4th "pair"? Otherwise, I would just have 2 branches.Are you dealing with a clone with alternating nodes? Usually it's remove nodes 1-2, leaving nodes 3-4 and topping above the fourth.
Hey so this is just how I do it...everyone is slightly different. But I dont remove the lower because all the little shoots have the potential to grow big to.I thought that nodes 1-4 had to def. go. Thank you
Thanks, Happy. Seemed to work for you well. I did remove node 1 &2 on most ( not the stumpy ones) but will check it carefully from here on in. Thanks for the FYI, Bro! Always appreciated and Kudos on your present grow, sweet results. I will be happy with half of your yield my first year here.Hey so this is just how I do it...everyone is slightly different.

Check out photos below .. I topped at forth node...cross trained it....and all the lower stuff has come to top each with its own cola....yes there is some smaller growth but I don't mind.
Yes, on seedlings it is 3rd and 4th pair, and then cutting off 1st and 2nd, leaving you with 4 branches, hence the name quadlining. Here's the first page which explains the process pretty well with pictures.Not clones, seedlings. May I assume that by nodeds3-4, you mean 3rd and 4th "pair"? Otherwise, I would just have 2 branches.
Not stupid questions. That's how we learn. If something's not clear, ask. You may get slightly different takes on the details, but the principles are the same.Thank you kindly, gents. These may be stupid questions and it is my first true grow since joining
Was it the strain or a cal-mag deficiency?Cool thread ...lots of really nice looking picz here.....but here's a few of mine first three pics are a Twizzlers auto in week 4 and the last pic is week 3 whiskey Zulu auto.
Whats up with the purple, Haz? Last years' batch went that color and my tri's seemed to have dried near the end. I was sad
Wow how did I miss that...... Any how no leaf issue that was the lighting... Under the blurple they look dark... But that strain was called trizzlerzWas it the strain or a cal-mag deficiency?
Nice to see you back @Asesino85 ! Lots of new adoptees of your technique since you've been away. Just shows how simple and effective it is.You are very welcome! I haven't been on these forums in quite some time. I am glad to see this thread is still alive and helping people out! Keep up the good work everyone!
It's a different grow than I usually do.Hello fellow #Quadsquad followers. Since uppotting my indoors, I have been slowing cuttting my undergrowth and have started on middle fan leaves, just a couple at a time.
I ask you all. Should I keep trimming some inside fan leaves and see if the little ones can catch up? Or remove some that have little to no chance?
I did as @Bill284 suggested and put 4 LED white lights on 24/7 above the canopies to imrove the veg growth.
Thank you and have a great week-end.
