Hey all. Ive got 6 plants. Im wanting to experiment with my Dutch Passion. Im wanting to know what's the best time to top your plants. My research says 3rd - 5th week I should top. Or when there is 4 or more nodes. Is the timing crucial or could I do it at anytime during vegi? It's my first time chopping away. I feel like im giving myself the snip lol. Im worried im really gunna stuff things up! Heeeelp!!? :)

I don't think it matters. It is just about making sure she is where you want her when it is time to flip.

I normally top when I have 6 nodes. I chop right at node 4. Usually end up with 4-8 tops. But you can do it when u want really.

For indoor I usually top at 4 nodes. But, I re-top again another 2-3 nodes later. Make sure your vegging another 2-4 weeks after topping. Outdoor, I top at 3 nodes and then every 2 nodes or so. Trying to get more of a bush than a tree! Don't need 10 feet trees for everybody to see!
