    If I top this plant will it stop it from growing taller for a few days. And were should I do it I don't want it to bush out TOO much. Thanks to all that reply.....V

    cut off the newest growth at the top, (3-4) nodes.

    And this will stunt the upward growth for a few days? That's really the only reason why I want to top I have a couple lagging behind a few inches and I can only go 18-20" max before I have to start flower

    After i topped my first plant it showed no signs of growth for the first like 4 days...now the 2 new stems that shot up are like 7 inches tall each with multiple nodes

    looks good man, I think you could have cut a little lower looking at some of those tops but itll work nonetheless

    Update: so its almost been a week since the topping I also transplanted 2 days after and they seem to be doing great. I'm switching the bulb over to hps and starting flower tonight. This is the same plant from previous post before topping it was 16" b4 its now only 20"
