Any body done it or doing it??

Iv done side by sides and i feel that it's not the best thing for them...My 2 cent's some will tell you different, But they never catch back up in growth after topping.

I have a PE that I topped and is now 33 days old. She showed her lady parts Friday.

You can but from my Knowlegde it was under 18/6 not the 20/4 or 24/0 light cycle so they anyways need longer under 18/6. But wouldnt advice as my old Growing Mentor always said" The fattiest and Fruitiest Bud is the Tp Cola of the Main Stem" and i slowly belive he was soo right with that.

yeh too right medic, we tried to do it once and lost the main top cola, then did it again by mistake on a different one and you never geuss lost the top cola again URRRGGGGHHH !!!
so i would say not to bother since they need all the time with out getting stunted

I put her in a 32 oz container. Just a little experiment I guess. Here are a couple pics.View attachment 393873View attachment 393874View attachment 393875

Looks like she could use a little nitrogen..

Looks ok to me You topped her very early that could be advantage for her.

I topped her at the second node.

I don't think she will have a lot. I just wanted to see how she would do. I probably wouldn't do it again..

I too say the Top Cola Bud is the Best on the plant...

I usually try to bend it over but sometimes the snap....
Topping autos isnt the best idea ...
They still perform but added time will be needed
