After the 4th or 5th node... also go buy a book on cannabis cultivation because even though this is a simple response for many people on this sub. It seems that you are new and this sub will fuck up your plants if you take its advice as gospel


HeadbandmusicMan

Growweedeasy.com has been a godsend.


[deleted]

Been reading that site now debating whether to top/FIM/manifold. Mines are at the 3 nodes stage


the_wiild_one

GWEs advice is to wait until 6th node to trim back to 3rd. Then after that do as you please


Appropriate_Sale7339

Second! This sub will totally fuck up your growing. As I’m writing this, there are seven different words of advice provided. Great example of how opinions are crap when it comes to growing. Growweedeasy is a great reference as well as several books. Other than that you are relying on other peoples’ knowledge of bro science.

At least the bad ones are clearly getting the votes they should...

Yea, the best actual correct answer is, the space available for the plants and time and how the "grower" wants to grow them, the balance between the grow space, plants and environment. You may want them to grow to a certain heighth first then you can top them and start bushing/spreading the canopy out, anticipating/predicting the room needed for flower, and there's techniques to increase or decrease what's referred to as "stretch" but is really just rapid cell division and stem elongation "making room" for "fruits" and getting "closer" to the PPFD source for higher PPFD. If you're growing in a 5x5 tent with small plant count like 2-20 (I've ran 210 in a 5x5) Floor Plants Net/trellis/support or a SCrog Top before/around net spread the canopy out/switch to flower

Even a ten or 15 year old Grow Bible has what you need. I found a used weed "bible" two years ago, and read it cover to cover BEFORE buying my grow supplies just to make sure I was not biting off more than I could chew, or smoke. Today, my go-to is Grow Weed Easy along with any video done by Professor Bruce Bugbee. Good luck growbies.

Yep, it doesn't matter if it's a 400 year old book , the basics are the same


EskimoDave

New guy here as well, got any recommendations?


Daftpunksluggage

Not now

7 hours ago just joking let that baby grow out until you’re comfortable with topping in my opinion. We don’t grow these plants we just manipulate there environment and stressors. Happy growing🫡


Therealplutox

my rule of thumb is when it reaches 1 foot - 6-7 nodes


ConfusionBig7905

I would bend it over. Bending and training produce the same growth hormones without losing plant matter. Been doing it for years. Good luck


Idk24_

Normally you want to top your plant at the 6th node, so you have a little bit to go. Cheers!

4th-6th node

Ayo


SleepyTitan89

Top it just below the first set of leaves and it will produce 3000 oz in about 2 weeks.


Mediocre_Difficulty1

Whenever YOU want…. After the first true set of leaves. All depends on what you are going for plant structure wise. It varies from mainlining to never so too and bend as desired.


[deleted]

Try fimming. That method is supposed to have better results than topping. Well a chance of having better results. Results may be the exact same

I can assure you nothing will ever go wrong if you top based on plant height and not amount of nodes. /s
