i topped this plant 3 days ago, i snipped the new shoot with scissors. it seems to be doing something but shouldn't it have recovered by now and continued growing?

also i should mention in this 3 day span i had to turn my light off for over 15 hours because i switched from a 4 lamp fixture to 8 and i had it on 24/7 previously.


thanks for any advice

yup,shouldn't be long.
I topped mine yesterday and already have new growth today.
It doesn't take long.

so this is normal then? when should i expect the new growths to come up? because i thought i read it only takes 24 hours.

One more thing you should know,you don't have to use scissors to top,just bend the center growth and it should snap right off.
Just a little info to help you out.

Your good. It takes some time. Hormones are transferring from the plants top to the lower nodes/the lower branches. You should have had some lower branch growth after topping then about a week later tops will start goin again.
