    i never read, or heard anything solid about this either. so im doing my own testing.
    I have 2 plants, same height, same strain, same light,soil,nutes,temp, ect...
    there 5 weeks in flowering, and i top'd one of 'em 2 days ago.
    in 4 weeks, il have the final results.

    eek, you don't want to top a plant in flowering, esp 5 weeks. it will not try to grow this back...

    you want to top it in veg, and if not veg, within the first week of flowering, before or right as it starts it's flower growth spurt. which usually begins and ends within the first 2-3 weeks.

    not a good idea to top, but you can bend it over/tie it down.

    Why would you top your plant at 5weeks into flowering? You know plants do stop growing middle of flowering right? So why would you top? That just did nothing except make you plant focus on repairing the damage rather than producing bud. So in short your experiment just hurt you yield...But now you know...good luck to you....



    And for everyone else....not a smart idea to top during flowering. you want your plant focusing on producing bud, not repairing itself. Plus I could see females turned hermmie b/c of stress....

    Very good suggestion and the ONLY thing that should be done during flowering to help with vertical growth restraints.
