  2. Also another question you see on the stem where it looks like it's shedding is that normal?

  3. So if you clip the very middle of the top part at a 45 degree angle that is topping. Make sure you get all the growth but do NOT cut too close to the fan leaves because you will clip what will become the new tops. The shedding is normal, it will get rid of the first two leaves completely over time as your plant becomes woody, it is perfectly fine lol

  6. Also if an auto flowering plant then you won't want to top or anything that involves cutting, other than that I would say anytime is okay to top, but make sure you closely pay attention and make sure your utensils are clean.

    That middle of the two fan leaves is what you chop

  10. Like the new top growth just above the next node if that makes sense. You have to see the whole thing

  11. So basically the two baby fan leaves to?
    Not the already grown ones the little ones that are forming

  12. Correct. The newest growth is what you chop then your new tops come out of in between the main stem and the fan leaf that you left.

  20. You can also just pull out the little nub in the middle that looks like praying hands. I've done that a few times, seems to work just as well as topping, a little less complicated too. Good job though, ur plants look great!
