I like indicas and hybrids! Sativas can be too anxiety producing for me (depending on potency). Varied flavors are neat too.

At least that’s what I know based on imperfect experience; it’s newly legal here so you never really knew what you were getting lol

Awesome sounds like you are taken care of with some seeds. Honestly I researched topping like crazy but never really figured it out till about my 3rd or 4th topping haha. Learning by doing I guess.

Way to early to top or bend bromigo…

Alright, so. . … here’s my opinion as it pertains to topping. . … DO IT EARLY 
The one in this pic is maybe 15-18 days old and i topped it already. Couple reasons; the plant is growing nicely and I can tell it can handle the stress, also topping early gives your main stalk a nice low profile V- or U-shape it the pot. This is an especially great method for people who keep their plants short when they flower

My plant is at least 4 weeks old now, just not very impressive; when I have time I was thinking of bending above the first true node as was suggested and see what that does… I feel like it would be harder to screw up and mess up the plant

Bad news: I woke up this morning and the plant escaped its binding. I thought it was no biggie and went to re-bend it. Big mistake. The stem snapped on me 
.
I have it bent back into place in case it feels like healing, but since I did it above just the 1st node, I’m afraid it may not recover.
Edit: At LemonadeJoe’s request, I’ve gone and merged some threads and now it’s essentially a grow diary.

Aw damn… if you pinch the stem before bending that helps.
Guess you topped her after all 
Give it a day or 2, it is a weed after all, it’ll bounce back, I have faith
I would tie it down closer to the top of the plant, will keep it contained more. For future reference

If she doesn’t I’ll wait until some of the kind OGers’ seeds come in try running one. Still kind of a bad way to start the morning.

Today is a new day with more challenges for my poor plant. I woke up again to find it bent over, again, but it finally detached at the stem’s bend. I didn’t hesitate to try potting the broken upper limb with a little rooting hormone in case it can make it. Best case scenario: 2 plants!

Keeping the plant short will def be important going into the future.
Just caught up with y’all after a hectic few days!
Ok yeah, I’m with these guys! Why you growing bag seed if u don’t have to? Shoot me a message sometime and I’ll see if I got something I can send your way. 
I’ll also link a couple great tutorials about topping, FIM-ing and LST from another very resourceful site here:

Thanks for the links!
Cannabis Low Stress Training (LST) Tutorial | Grow Weed Easy
“Don’t use string or anything sharp to tie down plants for LST!”
Lesson learned; these buggers are surprisingly resourceful and smart and easily escaped my floss trap. I have intermittent access to a 3D printer so I might print some clips when I can, but if I can’t I’ll get some U bolts.
It’s trying hard to push out growth tips now, so maybe things will turn out okay.
I’ll shoot you a DM about seeds

This is exactly what went through my head when I seen your floss lol.
I use a stiff solid core 12g wire to make stakes. And plant tie wire when need. Like this.

Wire is probably better than U-bolts; I’ll have to add some to the grocery order this week.
