Topped Blue Cheese I did a while back it works out sometime. If you were top it, go all out and keep lst'ing aswell

Awesome job bro Yeah I think my BTTF2 is just about to start growing that 4th(6th) node so I think I am going to top her then LST. Should I top or LST first or does it not matter?
Should I leave time between each or just do them at the same time?

Top asoon as she can handle it. Sooner the better. Then start lst when the nodes have grown out

It should become obvious as the plant gets to week 2/3, your on the right track.

I think my first plant is almost ready to top, am I only literally taking the top node like in the video? The guide said to choo it all the way back to the second but I'm worried to do that.

Was I right in saying the cotelydons and the first set of serrated don't count?

I'll get a picture up when I can to see if you think it's time or not yet. Thanks mate.

Yer get some pics up mate... fly blind a bit here...

Who doesn't love a bit of bondage eh

Tie them down and make them beg for it

With autos, you top after the 3rd true node, but best not to top if you're a beginner. Learn the basics first. Plus, LST is easier to do and less stress on the plant than topping.

Thank you Aspie! So I just cut off the fourth node only?
I will I'm just reading as much as I can and might experiment with just one of the plants
But the third you mean, three up after the cotelydons or three up after the first serrated set? I'm assuming the latter?

No problem, mate. Check which strain is the longest growing and choose one of those as it will give the plant more time to recover.

Here's an article from one of our sponsors as to how and when to top an auto...

Should I top her now or wait till the node grows a little more? This is the fourth true node coming in. Sorry about the bad picture!

Thanks mate I'll top her tomorrow then. Although because of the slight stress do you think maybe I shouldn't top this girl?
