When to top

Hey Fam,

Great forum and newbie here.

First time grow and i believe I have banana Kush here but am so new.

Been transplanted 3x and is now in a 5g. Under 24-0 with a 34-45W light and has never been topped or trimmed.

Relaxing now I definitely need to top but since
Indoors , I have some room to grow

It won’t let me attach pics, any advice ?

Are you running an auto? Just asking cause of your 24/0 light schedule

Thanks for the replies!

I will check out the videos on topping. Is the general idea that it forces new colas?

I have the 24-0 on all the time. This isn’t an auto flower if that’s what you were asking. I have 4 other auto flowering and then another 3 unknowns.

Any idea how I can get y’all pics ?

I got the perfect weed plant for u my mother in law didnt understand weed plants have different light cycles she actually put the plant into flower early this may be because she would give it light from the sun and didn’t leave the plant outside to get enough hours of light or the plant may feel winter coming so it started flowering either way i am going to keep it flowering but its pretty small

On Reddit there is a good page called r/microgrowery where people intentionally grow plants this small. You can find a lot of info there but other than that just add some nutes for boosting flowers and buds and you should be golden. Good luck @Nick_Gonzalez

you can scale back trimming if its strong and healthy enough, of course since yield is not an issue you wont mind that it will be sacrificed by default because of this…So it could in theory work out how you want, keep in mind watching ph and humidity like a hawk that being said…peace

Love this. Thank you :+1:t2::sunglasses:

Not even sure I have tops yet? :grinning: Anyone?? As long as I get at least an ounce, I will be happy with the first grow.

Not sure I understand the question.

One thing is for sure in my opinion… Your plant could use a little clean up down below. A good defoliation will refocus the energy to the top coals. If bigger better buds is your goal - that would be the way to go.

I did clean it up with the water change, but I left all the possible smalls and popcorn sites as I am not that concerned with yield. I have ounces here and can buy anytime as it is legal. This is only for fun. :grinning:

Oh - it’s just that you mentioned being happy if you get an ounce so I was confused. If your not concerned about quality and quantity then it sounds more like an experiment than anything else. Kinda seeing what the machine dose when left alone. I get that.

Happy growing…!
