Phew, well done dude...the reasons I top at the 3rd are that I think it's best to leave her until she is strong enuff to take it....but with auto's you don't want to be leaving it too long, cause they won't wait for you dude, they get woody and unbendable quick style... and the third node is(I find!)just about the right time!........and the dude I learned from did it that way, I have tried it 1 node either way before but the 3rd works best for me@Vapo: Yes , no, and yes. She didn’t miss a beat when I stripped her bare. But , I poked ,prodded and bent her some more until she broke. Cracked almost completely off at the main trunk. Well, I’ve been there before. Nothing a little masking tape won’t fix! She promptly recovered, narly missed a beat. What a weed! Next will be (gently ) tying down the branch off shoots after they develop a little more.
Can I ask why you prefer the third node? Does it work out better than the first or second? Pics to follow.
Edit:...just fyi dude, I grow in Coco for the faster reactions from the plant!
