INTRODUCTION

• Topping is a horticulture technique in which the
  top part of a plant is cut to stop its upward
  growth and promote lateral growth in the lower
  branches.
• You may find it awkward to cut off and throw away
  part of your cannabis plant. Topping is an
  essential step to keep your plants healthy and
  getting quality leads. You should use this for
  Cannabis Production.

Why Is Cannabis Topping Important?

• Topping is very important during the vegetative
  cycle as it helps to redistribute the growth
  hormones. Topping and fimming will develop an
  even canopy as the hormones which are responsible
  for the growth are distributed to all developing
  colas and stalks.

• If the cannabis plant is left to grow on its own,
  then it will grow vertically and will focus its
  energy on one main stalk. You will get one
  long-dominant cola which will have smaller stalks
  surrounding it. Further, these smaller stalks
  will produce small, and larfy buds that will not
  be as great and the overall quantity and yield of
  the plant will also be small. Through topping,
  the cannabis plant will get bushier as cutting
  off the main stalk will redirect the plant
  energies to smaller side branches which will grow
  out.

• After some time, these side branches will also
  get topped that will create more side branches.
  This will make the plant bush out even more.
  Doing this will also create several bud sites on
  branches and increase your yields. On topping the
  plant several times, you will observe that it
  will create more branches and make the shape of
  the plant bushier.

Topping vs. Fimming

• Topping is a tried and true method which is
  preferred by outdoor and large commercial farmers
  for Marijuana Production. Many growers often top
  a plant several times to get a large bushy
  structure. These topped plants are known to be
  more stable and also have a stronger branch
  structure. Due to this, it requires less support
  than plants trained with fimming.
• On the other hand, fimming works best for people
  who have small spaces and those who want to
  maximize their yields. The plants which are
  fimmed will need structural support, so you need
  to take extra care in trellising the garden.

• By using the above techniques, you will notice a
  substantial increase in the yield. If you are not
  sure about the methods, you can try both of these
  and see what works best for you. Growing is a
  continuous learning experiment and cannabis
  plants are known to be resilient. This makes
  things important for you to try different methods
  and techniques and learn from mistakes.
