hey guys im a newbie at growing my dad is helping me every now and again but i was told to top the plants so they wouldn't get to big so i topped them at the 3rd node and they are about 2 weeks old, but ive done some reading online and ive seen alot of people saying to top when it gets to the 6th node and im now stressing that ive fuck it up. Was wondering if anyone could help me i still haven't topped 1 of them because i was unsure and it didnt feel right cutting the top off and its only about 10 days old but the 4 below are the ones i have topped. any pointers would be much appreciated

You're okay. I've topped many times this early. Feed 1/4 strength now.

You’ll be fine I’ve cut plenty at the third node though I do at the fifth now regularly I’ve done lower. What is your medium made of is it just like fox farm soil or what

It'll recover. Let your mud dry out before it gets more water.

"CANNA Terra Professional potting mix is unlike anything you will find in a garden centre. It contains a blend of sphagnum moss peat, compost, worm castings, perlite and a special 'natural plant booster' which is a blend of organic ingredients."
Basically sounds likely a lightly precharged medium. You should be good to water only for a while. I've never used it so I have no idea how long before you should start feeding nutrients.

Use it. Mix no more than 1/4 strength for first application if you have no experience with it.

Feed at a 1/4 of the recommended dose

It’s pretty vague just saying liquid compost that could be god knows what I would wait at lest two more weeks on feeding at all your soil sounds like it would get you thru the first five or six weeks with out any food and if you do use that I would start at quarter strength not knowing all the ingredients
cheers, it was pretty expensive glad i made the right choice though
ight cheers for the help i will wait a couple more weeks to feed it

You could mainline that plant now. You're already there. https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets
