Porky101 Well-Known Member Sep 22, 2015 #7 OK thanks guys... I read that you should top on the 3rd - 5th node... I topped the 5th node... So was it too early?

Click to expand... you need to have a good set of nodes after you top the plant because they become the main shoots if there really small it stunts the plants but if there a good size, like an inch long, the plant carrys on growing as if you didn't top the plant
