Hello everybody,

I topped my LA woman still in veg the other day and I'm pretty sure that I made a DUMBASS mistake.

At the 5th node, I topped the main stem AND the 2 side shoots next to it... Smh. So right now, I have no idea what will happen... A main cola will grow again ? 2 colas ?

Again, it is fucking stupid cause basically you want the 2 side shoots to become the new main colas... Oh well... You live and learn, I'll pay more attention next time.

I topped above the 5th node and the 2 side shoots that were supposed to become my new colas... I'm pretty sure they will be ok but I've never seen any grower doing the same shit lol

A shot of my fucked up topping... Main cola + sideshoots ; gone. And my canopy in general...

I really don't know the shape It's gonna have from now on... I think I might have fucked my whole structure with this shit.

Anyways, flowering starts tomorrow.

The only thing that will happen is those 2 heads coming up will take the lead.

Your cut off shoots will most likely not do anything other than die off.

I'd give your plants at least 2 weeks after topping before you flower them, if you haven't

"at least 2 weeks" more veg in that would be a complete waste of time at that point. That's going to be a dense forest when the stretch is finished.

What exactly ?

And yes, it would be a waste of time, not to mention that I use a homebox, which means that there are limits to my veg time otherwise my plants hit the lights.

It'll be a dense forest anyways, I plan to lollipop them in about 12 days.

Let's go for 9 weeks of flowering.
