I just topped my plant. I think I lopped off too much? In the photo, I was probably suppose to take the single stalk…
I’m assuming plant will recover, but do I need to do anything?
It doesn’t matter you can take off as little or as much as you want the plant will never miss it.
As @plumbdand stated. She’ll be fine.
Looks like a chopped off top to me!! Got a pic of the plant??
Plant will recover and be fine.But I like to take the very last growth. Separate the end with your fingers. Push the last growth sideways, and it’ll snap off.
Auto or photoperiod?

No harm, no foul on a photo grown indoors. In fact, should help keep them from getting too close to the lights. Switching to flower light schedule will also help when veg is ready as she’ll stretch. Should also help with more bud sites than having a single apical Christmas tree. You can also try some LST by pinching and twisting stems but not removing growth. Looks great so far!
Thanks for all the insight!
When should I start LST?
(I plan on scrogging too. How long before I can start manipulating for that?)
Your plant is a toddler and should be allowed to recover from your topping before doing more. From that topping you will get two main cola’s. Once the plant is twice this size, you can start supercropping. Supercropping.
I use this twist but not remove tops method to then bend or tie down stalks to open up the canopy or start your sea of green. When you do the tops, instead of two stalks , it recovers and you get 4.. I grow outdoors so I crack every other node this way.
Interesting. Thanks for this!
She’s recovered from the topping. If I’m going to scrog is it time to put my net in and start training?
I moved the sprout under light on Jan 9th. So she’s just over 6 weeks old.
Should I top again for a sea of green?
@Hellraiser I read your journal extensively. I know you don’t scrog per se, but it’s clear you know what you’re doing haha. I like your approach of clearing out some leaves in the center to get light on bud sites.
Appreciate the help from all you growers!
@Myfriendis410 curious for your opinion, too, if you don’t mind.
If it were my plant i would pull those two mains down right now and install the trellis 7 days later. Also plan on super cropping those two mains in the future since they will likely run away from the others during the stretch
I supercropped them (or tried) and they bounced back (there is small knuckle). I put supercrop clips on them and that’s what you’re seeing. I did pull them off a couple days ago bc I was worried I did it too soon. There wasn’t enough spacing for the clips farther out on branch, so I did it close to stalk. Should I try the clip again farther out as soon as I can? Or try the twist, bend, pinch method? I see they’re running away…
Excellent work friend.
I’d probably do some training rather than topping at this point.
Just Continue what I’m doing? Add net in a week as mentioned and begin training into it?
