hey this is my first time growing and i want to know how to top it and when ?

Im not sure how to grow a marijuana plant too well but I want to learn how to make it grow the right way. I see all these huge plants and it seems like its easy for most people. I had this clone and I thought I could just cut the very middle of the top of the plant and that will make it grow bushier instead of being tall but now I think I should've just left it alone in the first place because it looks messed up. Here's a picture when I first got it. It was like 3 weeks old. Any help would be appreciated.

Your first thread about this wasn't good enough?
Try reading and learn how to do a simple search.
you put up a picture of a fucked up plant with no information and say " tell me how to grow weed! what's wrong with my plant?"
The simple answer is 'everything'

A couple if suggestions:

Read uncle bens topping technique

Read uncle bens gradin in tweeks and pointers.

Both are here in RIU.

RESEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND!!

You dont have to be a dick @adiaz5 Go up to the top of the screen you will see a searchbar under your name. type in fimming or something like that and if you cant find it pm me and I will teach you. hows that sound?

You will just have to let that one grow and wait for the side branches to fill it in
