Topping short plants

Hi
I am in the process of growing some Purple Kush and my question is this. Being for the fact Purple Kush is a short plant to begin with should I top the plants or just tie them over to the two nets I will have in the tent.

                                                               Thank you

If it is an autoflower, do not top it. If it is a photo, I like to top it above the 5th node…I also wait until it is at least 6" tall. I’ve grown quite a few kush strains this way…nice busy plants

Respectfully disagree Grow Bro, I top all my autos. I grow and train them like the photo period plants I grow with no harm or stall in growth. In my experience over defoliating sets them back aside from improper nutrient levels and poor environmental conditions :love_you_gesture:

Thanks guys. Mine are photos so I guess I will Wait until they get to the seventh node and cut them just above the fifth. This is my first time topping my plants. I will be interested to see how it works out. Once again thanks.

Keep the cutting from the topping and practice cloning Grow Bro :love_you_gesture:

You know what that is a very good idea. I have the cubes and root ointment. Thank you for the suggestion.

I top all of my autos, too. I yield 5-5.5oz per plant on average too. I top around day 14-15 depending on the size of the plant. I top after the 3rd node.
