How long will it take?

I just topped my plant. Its vegging at 5weeks now. I topped them yesturday. How long will it take for them to sprout back?

does anyone know, I am worried because the part i cut off is now dark brown in color...Is it going to heal and grow back? Its my first time topping a plant.
Anybody?
Advices are much appreciated

The same thing happened to be, though I did it as an accident trying to use fishing line to help hold the top up and pulled to tight. It heals over and then for mine two new nodes came up from slightly under where it was healed over and took over the top growth. But nothing grew from where it was originally cut. It should only end up taking like 3-4 days before they're taller than the plant, though this is just from my one expierence.

it doesn't grow back...the branches closest to the top will become the main cola's basicly...

what do u mean it doesn't grow back?

haha i know that sounds scare if you have no idea about topping... but when you top it, the 2 branches closest to the cut become the new tops. where you cut seals itself, and stops growing, and it makes your plant start growing outwards as fast as its growing up. some say it makes more yield, some say it doesnt. just preference. wont hurt it, but i would let it veg for at least 2 more weeks to let it get used to diverting energy different directions.

Oh i see it makes more sense to me now. THanks alot. Would it be a problem if I topped 4 main shoots on a plant around the same time?

How many nodes are you at? nodes ar each set of leaves up the main stem

you mean each branch? or no?

I nomlly top it at the 3rd or 4th node when it is 6 nodes tall. cutting the top 2 nodes off. then maaaaybe if i feel lucky, top those after the new branches are at 4 nodes each. makes 10-16 tops normally but let them veg for like 3 weeks to heal COMPLETELy....

ok I am confused here I dont understand. Here are the plants sorry bout the crappy phone pix. Anyways, Im doing LST and just Topped em yesturday.

SO now I should look for those 2 sprouts that should be growing taller? And the part I cut will heal and stop growing correct?

each pair of branches. there are pletny of diagrams for topping out there to look at, that might help

it depends on how the growth was where you cut. they will be sprouts if you topped it very close to the top of the plant, or they will already be existing new branches that will become the tops.

Move those lights alot closer to your plant, with CFL's you can move them about 2-3" away from your plant without burn or harm, they look a tiny bit stretchy.

I'm doing 18/6, but Now that I topped them, I switched to 24hrs...I will continue that light schedule for one week, then switch back to 18/6.
