Dont top that plant. Does she live outside? Is she flowering? If not let her get a little healthier. Topping would slow her down significantly. I dont think 2 is always better or even bigger than 1. Pretty sure time is time and plant matter is plant matter. 2 identical plants 1 topped 1 not. For the topped plant to weigh as much as the control would take 2-4 weeks of extra time. If they’re equal in every way the topped plant will never ‘catch up’. This is me rambling i am not an expert.
Those skinny leaves look soo nice rn. 
Keep up the great work

I agree paps… after seeing the way you train plants i’ll always be topping and creating a bush rather than a tree… good read brother…
Also i thought cutting pauses plant for the most 2 days… fimming is a 1 day pause… etc… right paps? Have trained plants taken longer to build bud? Id think they just work harder right?

Im excited to see what you bring next… your end product looks frosty as fuck…

To top or not to top that is the question
It will slow down the plant a bit ,
but I feel topping, lst, super cropping and scrog is necessary to increase yield .
In a small space , especially if you have hight restrictions it’s a necessary evil lol
I normally allow the plant to grow 5 or 7 nodes then I’ll top it at the 3 rd or 4 th node
This allows the trunk a chance to beef up a bit
I also believe in pruning the branches that will not amount to much ( I do this as a major cleanup at the week before flip )

You can actually do better with less plants with the Octopots

Probably cause the heat I’m suspecting
It all falls on whether they get light… so if its a fuller grow… you’ll get some larfy buds sometimes… like my clone grow… will likely have some larfy bud at the bottoms because its such a packed full tent… (not as much light penetration )
