    Default need to verfy a ? on topping

    I'm on my fourth grow but I'm still experimenting with all that can be done to M.J. plants. I wanted to know if I can still top plants off on the lower branches when I'm in flowering week 4? I have seen some growers do it on you tube. I just wanted to see what other have to suggest. I have already topped the very top coloa a few weeks back and there as been a positive result. I just topped off the lower. Branches last night... so now I'm worried if I did more wrong then good?

    Try not to manipulate your plants in flower, it stresses them. More stress equals less bud production, top the week before you flip to flower.

    If your plants are already 4 weeks into flowering I wouldn't recommend topping or stress training of any sort if you must top do it while the plants still in veg state or 1st week of flowering. As it just causes the plants to stress out = less bud pretty much like InsaneMJ said. Though if you already went ahead and topped it lastnight give it nutrients and water today and it should start making a come back, might hurt your bud production tho. But hey if you didn't take the chance you wouldn't have learned :P

    Topping is usually done to create more bud sites or mutiple colas , after your well into flowering the growth is at a bare minimum if any. She is now using the majority of her energy to create buds , I wouldnt see the reason to top now.. maybe you meant Lolipop where you trim the lower parts of the branches , so she focuses on the main bud sites.. Either or like Insane said try to do all waht you ahve to be fore you flip... Good Luck.

    Not a good idea to cut parts off in flower...they don't grow back...whatever you leave behind will be all that grows buds and that is no good.
    I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!
