You can top a plant at anytime, once it's reached 4 or 5 nodes (pairs of branches). Just cut off the main growing shoot (tip of the plant) and the next two leaves down will take over as two new tips!

 

do you think the morning is the best time to top the plant,,,,that way it has all day to recover??

 

^^^honestly i've never noticed a difference......i've topped in the morning and before night-time.......no differing results......

I topped a couple of my outdoors plants when they were around 2months old (roughly 4ft tall) They are now roughly 3.5 months old and 6ft tall, 4-5ft wide.......still veggin hardcore, when flowering hits these are going to be some big bushes............im guessin 7-8ft tall, 7-8ft wide......the ones that i didn't top are around the same age but 7-8ft tall.....maybe get a couple 10 footers

 

i grow outdoors, if i top it will it have enough time to grow up for it to make a difference with how much weed i get. growth has been fairly slow height wise so im really not sure if i should top it or not any opinions?

 

if its a slow growing plant i would advise not topping it. sounds like it will stay fairly short any way and if its slow growing and you top it, it's going to be hating life having to grow 2 tips instead of one

 

thanks for the opinion, im just gonna let my plant grow normal instead of topping it.
