When to top?

[TopShelfCBD]

Hi folks,

I'm thinking it may be close to the time for me to top. It's my first grow and I don't want to mess anything up!

Is this girl ready to top? I eventually want to try the Manifolding or Mainlining technique.

Ive always heard top at the fifth node. Looks like you might be at 3, so you might have some time.

I'm on my first grow NL fem, topped at the 3rd node a couple days ago and they are growing strong. Doing this will probably have different results with different strains just telling you my experience.

Yep, top now and maybe a gain after several more nodes. I like to top just above 4th node and then top my 2 tops after a few more nodes.

Plant looks healthy ... top now. Go for it ...
Waiting till the fifth node can add a week or two onto the vegging.

Guessing that's the White Widow? If it's Dinafem ... then I've grown that from seed. Really hardy strain ... really loved strong nutrients .... no probs (apart from bit of lock-out in weeks 3&4 flowering). I grew in coco though. Good luck ...

Thanks folks, will give it a shot and report back!

Well I topped and started the manifold technique today. Only thing is I didn't realize until after that I was supposed to keep the growth tips on the third node.

How bad did I mess things up?

If you were going to "flux" or "mainline" you could have done that a while ago. No need to grow 4 or 5 nodes just to chop them off.

Looks fine......no worries

Nugbuckets who invented mainlining tops above third. Then three again. Then two. For eight colas.
Is that the fan leaves you have tied down?

Kind of, should I tie it back more on the node stem?

 

[The Germinator]

You're supposed to tie the main shoots. I don't see any long enough to tie.

Lol they will grow

 

[Cannoisseuras]

I thought he tied the main shoots and cut off everything else. He said he was going for mainline

 

[Cannoisseuras]

If not they will grow out

 

[TopShelfCBD]

So I am confused now, lol. Am I fucked or fine still?

I've been mainlining my last two from seed and took cuts from anywhere from 3-4th node. You did just perfect. In two to three days you'll see two new shoots coming out and those two as they grow will be where you tie them down. Then as they grow you continue to defoil and top and tie and top and tie again depending on space.

So no need to tie down those two fan leaves. Let them reach for the light and they will tell you if hungry or not.

Give her some good veg nutes and what her take off.

Thanks dubnation, I am resting easier now, lol

Just make sure to untie those fan leaves. And let us know when you see the new tops. This would be a good time to give her some nutes. Not full strength. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 dosage.
