Is it too late to top my plant?

Outdoor Growing
1

Hi All,

So last year was my 1st grow and it came out great. I was able to top my plants and do the mainline method. I’m growing outdoors in 10 and 12 gallon pots. This year I’m growing Purple Haze. However when I topped three of the plants I cut too much and now I’m gun shy about topping the others.

So my question is this. I have three more plants. One of them is 24" tall and has 6 nodes. Is it too late to top her? I would really like to duplicate what I did last year, but this girl is twice the size of the others so I was wondering if I could still top her or should I just leave her alone?

Thank you all for your advice
Don

You’ve got til like august before it flowers. I’d say not too late at all to top. I usually stop doing stuff like that about second week of July.

Ok cool. I was just wondering if 6 nodes was too tall to top. So I will go ahead and top her between the 3rd and 4th nodes.

Thank you for the information.

agree with @Deez , top away.

Never too late to top so long as you are managing the transition to flower (assuming a photo plant.)

I top my plants between 1 and 3 times before I flip them.

How long since you potted the plants from your propagation setup?

Also; How l;ong are your days sawn 'til dusk?
