Question for topping expert!

KeepsMeSane · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2007, 04:09 AM

I topped most of my plants. On one plant, I apparently didn't get the whole top, because it's re-growing from where I cut. What will happen to this top?

It's a month from seed. I cut off the fifth node. The plant is only about 5 inches tall. These are the best photos I could take of the new growth.

you should look for a macro mode (usually a flower) on your camera, it will make close up shots come out a lot more clear

Your plant will be fine.
Even if you totally screw up a topping it should recover.

If when you top you leave 20% or so instead of removing all of it, what may happen is instead of two shoots growing from the cut, you will get a lot of shoots growing.

It is called FIM (urban legend says it stands for "fuck, I missed").

I have done it and when it works, it is real interesting.
