She recovered from the first top & she was still out growing the other gals by alot so i decided to top her more then once & want to know if thats okay by doing so? topped exactly how i did before left a little bit of stem. but did i over do it? or is this okay. ---

@AAA I thought you can only supercrop at the beginning of flower?? when you roll the plant between your fingers & bend it to face side ways like a upside down L shape ---

You can top as many times as you want, before flower. You can super crop at any time, but I’ve never had to after flower started. ---

Also the more you top the smaller ur colas will get. I’ve seen some research on that. ---

do you guys think i should experiment on this grow by Topping 1 plant more then once, Super cropping the second plant, & Leave the third plant to grow tall? after research ive seen that super cropping is the way to go but i kind of feel like leaving one to grow out? to see how tall she gets. ---

On a photo period you can top several times in Veg. If it’s an Auto I’d only do it once IMO!! ---

On non-auto (photo) plants, you can top several times during veg. I wouldn’t after lights are flipped to 12/12
