Top them at the meter mark if that feels right to you, based on the shape of the growroom and vertical space available. Go for 2/3 of the height with the main stem. Maristems are the branches coming from the main stalk. Limit their number to about a half dozen. Pin them all on the trellis, and yes I do top the maristems if they run off their trellis.

Cheers. Here's a shot, I moved the big ones on the left across from the right as they were growing faster directly under the lamp. Now the other ones can catch up lol.

Anyway I havnt topped yet. 2/3 high is still a little way away, but I'm anxious that these are going to be massive in 2.5-3 weeks :).

I can already see if everything else comes together and goes as well as it has so far, this is certainly going to be my biggest grow ever. Maybe apart from some big outdoors.
And lastly cheers ttystikk for helping me along the way, you are a real credit amongst others on this site helping people.

Hey ttystikk, which maristems do you keep, the bottom ones or do you just top so there is only 6 maristems

Okay this is my way/ system that I built. A personal 2ft tall screen that is 6ft long wrapped around a steel rod frame I made that uses 3 plants. Originally I used a 400watt HPS to light it up, now I am going to use this LED tower.

The key of this is I vegy the plants in this system. Once they get the lower foot of screen covered I flip to 12/12 for flowering. The second photo shows the system right before I flip them. I used the strectch and slower growth to finish filling the upper half of the screen. Again timing is everything in SCROG method weather it is vertical or horizontal.
Now this LED tower has both a vegy spectrum (set at lower end of tower ) and the floral spectrum which is spread out over the length of the tower. 2 ft tall heat sink to fit the 2ft tall screen. All LED's are dimmable and can be independently turned off to help me provide the needed spectrum for the different stages of growth, plus I get to play with the intensity of it all.
My whole point is you can get much better coverage on the screen if you vegy the plants up and around the screen from the start. You also get to remove out side edge as it grows removing plant shock.
One other key is that after all is grown and floral stage is getting under way, I remove leaf, more than many think of, but I want the bud sites to get all the light they can. I grow bud and not leaf.

How did this crazy giant corn cob led end up performing?
