Regrowth time after topping

Yeah when I break a plant and it can't easily be masking taped back together so I lose a section there is always a large amount of growth really fast. I believe this is because there is a large offset of roots to foliage so the plant has a lot of resources to repair itself. It's the same thing with using the topping method to top the plant when it has 5 nodes but top it at the 3rd node leaving 4 side shoots as the tops (1st and 2nd set of nodes) because again in this case also you are leaving a lot of root mass offset for the plant to quickly recover foliage with. It's great fun to watch the first few times

BUMP i bet he topped in beginning of week 2 veg like 10 days popped from soil. at that time the new tops are tiny to non existent and should appear in ironically 3-6 days if not there already and be growing out in 5-9 days BUT if showing when topped 3-6 days until you have two new looking shooting up towards lights tops!!

Highly doubt that.
Once you have topped it you should already have new growth forming from the nodes below where u topped it from . I topped mine 2 days ago and it's still growing as normal . Gave it a lil dose of nutes just after topping and I was expect no growth for a few days as it's my first grow . But the stems where the two new tops were gonna be were coming along nicely pal
