Can I still top in week 7

[monnema]

Hi everyone,

I'm in week 7 on my first grow of 4 RQS northern light autos

I didn't do any topping just lst and later a bit of lollipopping (just the first 2 nodes)

The 2 girls in the bk have stopped stretching a week ago and starting to fill out, also the one front left
has finally stopped a couple of days ago, but that "mutant" on the right as u can see is now growing past my lights, which are at max. height

Is topping still an option???

not if it is flowering and done growing your best bet is to try to get it to slowly over days pull it to the side and down. It can break easy so dont rush it and try to do it in one day like me and snap it off. If it breaks just cut it off no more biggest bud. but it wont be blocking the light anymore and the rest of your plant will grow fine. so go with your gut.

it's flowering but it's also still growing really fast! Just compared pictures I took 4 days ago with todays pics and this thing is growing over 5cm a day and I don't think it wants to stop anytime soon lol

I like to top autos at the fourth node, fifth node is ok too but the sixth is a no go for me.
Difficult to go by weeks, better to go by the node. Remember the first set of leaves is not counted as a node.
