Default When to top for several heads
Ive got four strains of subs beans vegging and was wondering at what internode are you guys topping to produce multiple heads,I was going to about the 4th internode, and then at about the 6th. Mine are at the 4th node now.Most of my grows are sea of green with very little veg time( strait up) Thanks

Like Uncle Ben explained in the sticky, let the plant grow to about 5 nodes (so that the root system is really established), then cut off just above the 2nd true node, if you are counting the baby leaves (cotyledons) then cut just above the 3rd node. It is important to make the cut at the right node to get 3 or 4 main colas.

Also, after the branches start growing out, I would suggest to tie down the branches to "open" the canopy so that light can penetrate deep down.
Good luck.

Pinching and cutting is the same thing. When folks refer to pinching they are talking about cutting.

Pinching and topping are the same thing, but "cutting" is something you take when you want to clone - a "cutting".
