Growing an lst plant. How soon after topping the main stem can you flower. It's trained around the bucket.

Gotta change the light cycle to 12/12 to go into flower/bloom. Has nothing to do with topping

Sorry didn't understand the lingo, gotcha now, It takes about 3 day for the plant to recover. However, you can top and move into bloom same day no need for anymore vegging

Some say 2 to 3 weeks, so the cycle doesnt stunt / stress the plant so....i would keep on the safe side

easy 3 weeks, you gotta give the growth tips time to develop and grow after your topping, otherwise what was the purpose of the topping to begin with.

It is bent over. It has 12 growth tips. So I am asking if they will be fine to grow out not the tops I top. Without stress of course.

once it recovers from the stress and starts growing again so a week or two would be fine
