Second Topping
This is part of my post to Northern Lights Second Topping Illustrated
The main stem of #2 was topped 5/7. All secondary stems (created from original topping) and all branches below the topped node were also topped. Thereby creating two future bud sites at each topped branch and stem. #2 has two branches below topped node. With this topping, #2 now has 12 future bud sites. (Plant #3 had 3 branches below the topped node and will therefore have 16 future bud sites.)
Below are the individual steps I took (before and pictures related to each step are so identified)
- Removed bottom most leaves.
- Removed 2 large fan leaves at topped node
- Removed both sets of leaves on secondary branches above topped node
- Topped secondary branches
- Removed fan leaves on secondary branches – 4 leaves
- Top first branches below topped node
- Top second branches below topped node
- Removed interior leaves
- Removed interior bud sites from second branches below topped node
These are overall plant before and after shots.

#3
I also wanted to point out I did not top the first branch below the topped node because I did not feel there was enough stem growth to successfully top it. You know what that is called “FIM” Should be able to do it tomorrow.
All have recovered nicely from their non-elective surgery. I think there is even some new growth. Also wanted to point out this hair
Being new to photos is this a indication of preflower Its a GIRL?
