Topping at four weeks.

[pussum]

I have had a couple plants going now for a while, about a month. Last grew I waited until seven weeks to top and flower after the branches grew back. I want to try toping now at four weeks and flower at seven. Does anyone think this might stress the plant out to much?

topping will definitly stress the plant and it will have a short period stunted growth but lots of people do it. Personally I just tie the plant down with a string so it is bent over and it gets about ten colas instead of just one.

If your plant (from seed?) is 4 weeks old, how many nodes do you have? I would not remove more than 1/3 of the plant. You wouldn't do much damage if you just pinched off the top of the plant. It is still a small plant at 4 weeks to do too much with other than pinching off the top, IMO.

I was also thinking lets talk in inches tall and nodes rather then weeks old.
