How should I top this plant?

Wassup guys. I think I have 8 main colas now, but I think I want to top them to make 16. Im not sure how to top the branches and I don’t want to mess anything up :sob: please help someone, how should I top? Or should I leave it be? Mind you, this plant has been in veg for almost 2 months now​:sob: brought her back from the dead - this was her 12 days ago. But im not sure about where to top the shoots

Now she’s filling to the edges of the pot 12 days later💪🏽

Possible top sites?

Push for 8 and before flower defoliate and use a bunch of trash branch’s to make clones. This way if the 8 is quality smoke go 12-16 from a clone and see how that goes .

If possible keep one of those clones for a mother plant to continue the process.

This is how I would do it atleast- play the long game

Thanks growmie! Does it look like I have 8 right now? I’m pretty new to growing. And I’m also about to make clones out of these two smaller branches at the base of the stem. They both have at least 3 nodes now , they should be good for clones right?

Here are a couple pics where I manifolded these. You are calling each branch a main, I take each branch and top it above second node , and clean the first off. So each branch will become two mains. 4 branches gives 8 mains, 6 gives 12, you get it. I don’t manifold autos as there’s not enough time, manifolds will add 3-5 weeks to your veg time, autos don’t have that.

Thanks for that doc! My thing is, I just don’t know where to top on the branches! I’m not seeing that new growth like when I first topped, that makes it easily identified
Like this branch for example, where would I top it?

Looks good and you’ll get better over time .

The area to top would be after two branches come off cut the stalk above that, those two come out and you do the same to them.

The idea behind this is the plant will produce better when the flow is straight pathway , also should give same energy to produce equally amongst those branches since it’s the main artery.

You would start at bottom of branch, strip the first node and top above the second, that will split each main branch into two mains.

They may need to get a bit bigger if you can’t distinguish where to top….
