Kyle is a real OG. Excellent clip Chris. For me I too once any lower node shows secondary growth and it’s typically 3rd or 4th node from seed. I’ve also noticed there’s a sweet spot regarding number of times topping one plant as eventually having more tops leads to smaller colas. Like you can have 8 decent colas or 4 giant colas both equaling the same biomass in the end so less topping cuts time down by 4 weeks in total.
I top at 6 nodes and trim off the bottom 2 so that I end up with 8 branches. I will usually top the top 2 pair again to keep the canopy even and increase yield. Scrogging 2 plants in a 2×4. Cheers.
The only problem I’ve had with topping is the plant literally splits in half down the middle when in flowering if the buds are too big & heavy ( out doors ) , for this reason I prefer low stress training by tying down branches, this way gets way more “tops/buds” anyway 🤷🏻♂️
How about just growing horizontally via scrog and every flower site can then be exposed and grow vertically without any recovery period? Struggling to decide if I want to top or just LST and then at appropriate time scrog under net??

That "Fim" fact is gold 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
top 4th node from seed,then loose the bottom branches and top the 6 remaining branches for 12 heads
hes right. thats how i get my plants so robust looking. i even pinch the 2 main side branches once.
Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and skills. I have been listening to you guys for 4 years now and it's helped me tremendously..

That's how I do it. I train my plants and basically every branch above the screen is a cola

Kyle is a way more experienced grower but that being said cris is was better at podcasts 😂
