Topping or not topping plants?
How much more will it benefit from doing. I thought about leaving some of them not topped to see the outcome.

Re: Topping or not topping plants?
I think topping is generally a good idea it seems to get the plant to bush out more and send more energy into the side branches rather than focusing more on the main stem.

Re: Topping or not topping plants?
Topping plants when growing indoors, always seems like good commen sense practice. Make use of the horizontal space & protect the precious vertical space.

Re: Topping or not topping plants?
I don’t top anymore just tend to bend the top over so the others have chance to catch up

Re: Topping or not topping plants?
I always top at lets say the 5-6th node , then i work the branches outwards with strings tied to pots or Bamboos . trimming the secondary bushing branches , lets me have multiple long colas without the bushy energy stealing crap sideshoots . kind of a Lollipop style grow
