Topping and Tent Size


  • I'm trying to figure out if topping will help (with space primarily, less worried about yield) in my particular situation. I popped 12 seeds of which 6 are female. I have 11 very healthy WW, AK48 and Cheese seedlings at 4 weeks from emergence.

    I had planned to run 4-5 plants in this tent, but wasn't sure how I'd make out on my first grow, so popped more seeds than necessary to cover for any losses. Looks like I will have more plants than expected to put into flower.

    My tent is 3x3x6.5 and can fit 9 2G pots. I know topping will give me wider plants, being my first grow I'm not sure how to plan. My gut tells me that lateral space will be a bigger issue than vertical, and that I shouldn't top on this run. Anyone have experience with a similar set up that can provide some advice? Should I let them grow naturally or top for more cola's??




 
I would say LST it definitely. Or even SCROG. Both are very simple techniques that increase yield exponentionally (I don't even know what that means really lol)

Topping does make it bush out, but you can't really control how much it will make it bush out
 
Man it depends but to be 100% sure I would say to go lst, because I topped my sour diesel into a bush and the son of a bitch still ended up over 5.5 feet tall and its still growing and getting out of hand
