Removing the very top portion of growth, especially of a young seedling, may seem drastic and foolish. But 'topping' cannabis plants can be the beginning of amazing things!
Before I filmed yesterday's update video, I topped all 6 seedlings. They each have either 4 or 5 true nodes, and then the cut.
Just a day later (they're 33 days old now), life is already finding a way forward:
At the top node, two new stems are beginning to form. This will become the first 'Y' in my adult plant structure.
As I improve my topping and training skill with each crop, I'm slightly increasing yield. This is all done for no financial cost, and without sacrificing quality or safety. Always top shelf.
Please stay tuned for more on this topic - I intend to repeat this process to branch again (to 4) after just a single node. The resulting structure should produce a roughly square adult plant, to take advantage of my small rectangular garden area.
We'll soon see how it goes.
Thanks for stopping to read my post, I hope you found it top notch. Top of the morning to you!
Okay okay, I'll stop.
