    Default Topping & LST autos

    My current topping advice is to top at the third (true) node & encourage the lateral branchings to become leading tips

    I top but do not LST. To successfully LST you need more space than I have available.

    When we say third true node is that cut the stem between 3 and 4?

    What have I done M_C?

    I've topped/fimmed/dunno but it's kind of killed that node off. Is that good or bad?

    The node below laterals are taking over but not got the new shoots from the cut node if that makes sense.

    I will get a pic when back

    Well if I'm understanding correctly, you topped by cutting the whole tip off. Or at least enough so the top isn't functional. Then the node below becomes the main branches, giving u 2 colas instead of 1.

    Sounds right.

    Sounds ok but a pic would help

    Here's a pic of how it should look:-

    Thanks Uncle

    I normally get the little left and right new shoots at the junction if that makes sense but this time I think I cut to close and the growth is from node below if that makes sense?
