AB Test (of same seed genotype)
Has anyone tested, A vs. B, the difference between:
A – topping at the earliest opportunity of a new plant from seed,
B – an apical meristem top cut of a plant nearing flipping to flower, having grown from the same seed type?
Is it better to do one or the other, and what are the observations?

Just know the bigger it gets before topping, it’s going to get that much taller after flip. If space is limited, stick to 18” or 4-6th node. Plant will get about 4-4.5’ tall.

Thanks. I was thinking more of the A and B plants being the same starting canopy height, A as a young topped plant and B as a top cutting with 3 or 4 nodes but starting at the same height for the top. Which would be the “better” growing plant?

Yeah I’m thinking the 2 are going to grow completely different. Obviously training is involved. I can’t answer that fully.
