Am I still not getting this 'topping' thing right?
I made about seven or so cuts about a week ago - I circled a few of them, but not all cuts that were made.
I get the general concept - more energy redirected to multiple colas instead of just one.
But should I truly 'top' it so that all branches are level, more or less?
This is my first outdoor grow, GG#4, so I appreciate your patience for my novice status. It's a bit older than a month old, grown from a clone.
edit: a bit about me growing! i did this commercially for a couple of years, but it's a different story when you aren't handed the tools, resources, and blueprint! now, i'm growing in my backyard - i already have quite a big garden, where i just enjoyed my first raspberry harvest and have been snacking on juicy strawberries.
in the same way that a store-bought berry - even in season - isn't quite as good as a backyard berry, i'm intrigued to see how growing this cannabis will change my connection to its effect. will it be that much 'sweeter'?
the thing i love about my berries and other harvestable plants is that i'm fairly hands-off, so in asking about this more hands-on strategy, i'm veering away from my MO. curious for other opinions! :)
