Hello everyone,just looking for opinions on if I should cut central stem on this plant.its very healthy and plenty of satellite branches that I plan to cut very bottom ones off.this plant can’t go into tent for another 2or3 weeks
Topping is a great way to increase yields and aid in height control. I personally top my plants multiple times so I would top that plant as well. If you’re not overly comfortable with high stress training you could always LST or bend the top down and tie it off at a comfortable height and also try to spread some of the lateral branches out a little. Beautiful plant btw.
Too late.
Top center stem with 6 nodes total below.
The bottom two will eventually sacrifice
Remaining four nodes are continuously topped to allow lower branches to catch up.
Topping doubles branch sites.
Double, and double again.
By this time the top gets crowded and tall.
Stop topping as you switch to flower.
Cut off anything now that gets too close to the light.
The lost buds offset the stress on the plant.
This will ultimately increase harvest if none burn
