The tool should be sterilized with rubbing alcohol to help prevent infections in the plant (this is very rare, but it doesn’t hurt to be safe). The sharper the better-you want to make one clean cut. You’ll need either a pair of pruning scissors or a razor blade. Generally, a plant will get topped 1-3 times during its life. Doing this will also create more bud sites on branches and therefore increase your yields.
In time, these side branches can also get topped, which will create even more side branches and make the plant bush out even more. With a bushy shape, you’ll get more buds, and they’ll be of a higher quality. With one vertical stalk, the main cola will get a lot of light, but the lower branches will get shaded out by the main cola, producing larfy buds down below. How a marijuana plant receives lightĪ bushy shape allows light to hit all branches more evenly-because the cannabis plant is wide and not tall, all bud sites will receive an equal amount of light. If you wait to top a weed plant after it has developed more than seven nodes, the plant will have been putting energy into upward growth that you are just going to cut off, when it could have been focusing on lateral growth that you will keep. It’s important to wait until the plant has developed this much so it can withstand the shock of topping. Wait until the plant has grown six or seven nodes to do the initial top, which is usually done above the 5th node.
