    Default Best article link or YT video for topping please?

    As per title, my buddy's who have been in this hobby 3-5 years each have never topped but I keep hearing it is brilliant and also necessary in a tent.

    So many to view online can anybody point me towards the most helpful one please?

    Cheers

    Bobby

    you top a plant to control the height and canopy width, without topping you have one main shoot and side shoots so you cut the main shoot above the side shoots, then you have 2 main shoots, you can do this as many times. it's very basic but many growers will go into great detail

    Thanks guys

    Just a little confused as I hear you can do it a few times before flower but if I top the main stem the first time then that is not going to grow back is it?

    So what do you cut the next time?

    Cheers
    Bobby

    PS.....Is there any way or settings I can turn on to alert me when I have a reply to a thread guys?

    If you top the main stem you end up with 2 stems. I grew a photo outside afew years ago and topped multiple times on multiple stems.
