So the question is kinda clear. What was your average times after topping
did it take for your plant to regrow the extra two stems

what do you mean??? they are always growing... idk bout a week

if you top a plant it doesn't stunt their growth in any way unless the growing conditions suck.

Your asking for an exact time frame. Under ideal conditions from my experience you should see new growth In a day or two.
Let's say my plant looks like the one below. I cut where it's red. Where it's blue when should I expect to see little nubs of the new stems. And what was the earliest you guys have seen them. I have already seen mine I'm just curious what was the longest time of your guys plants took and how short it took.

It depends on strain how fast the response is but let's say 24 hours for the new little nubs and 3 days for little well formed leaves. In a week it should be medium sized with new growth coming out of that I think. I dunno brother honestly I don't watch this kind of thing anymore this is guessing. I do a lot of cutting tho

Everyone is going to have different results. Genetics play a big part, co2, quality of light, light intensity, air circulation etc. Everybody's grow setup is different. Therefore it's impossible to give you a time frame. Like @Bose said a few days.

I don't think you understand - when you top a plant you're basically forcing that plant to split what would have been a main cola into two separate branches instead of one.

That was the kinda question I was expecting to be answered lol
I didn't know that the new nubs would grow in. All the stuff I've seen has you topping when they are already there.

That's a time lapse of topping.

Personally I accidentally topped a plant that broke about half inch above the node. Within two days the side branches were going strong.

I think that it really depends on the roots of the plant. I think if you let the plant get to 5 nodes and then top the 3rd, you will have better root structure to support faster growth and recovery.

I was forced to top my plant after my fan fell on it
