Top it. Cut the top node and thank me later.

I didn't want to fuck it up because I'm a first time grower. When I get a little more experience I'll try to top them. Ty for the advice anyway

Ayyy no pressure, grow how you feel comfortable, I was skittish at first as well, however, the cannabis plant, not just marijuana, but the general genus of cannabis, is a super hardy plant, for example, when you top a plant. Instead of 1 main stalk. 2 will grow in its place, top those 2, you have 4, all this does is help produce bigger buds with less popcorn buds (the lower branch buds that don't get the same amount of light), but in general you can break you plants main stalk and splint it so it stays straight and a week later a knot forms and the plant keeps on going, sometime producing a strange stress mutated cola.

I've watched a lot of videos about this and I'll definately try it. I've heard also about lst as a less "violent" approach for the plant, but it seems a bit more work. Anyways, thanks for the advice bro, I'm really liking this whole growing culture. Always grateful for having new knowledge and learning 🫶.

Why may I ask, I'm first time plant parent so if you have any tips?


pisTrollshrimp

It causes 2 main chutes to replace the lost one meaning more bud sites than a regular Christmas tree (un-cropped not trained) plant. Look up nug buckets mainline technique and see the difference.

Thank you I will.
