Topping

I have tried the topping about a week and a half ago, and this is the result.... did I do it right?

Never top in flower, you did it correctly but at the wrong stage of growth
You should only top in veg

I thought you can do it during the flowering stages too? am i wrong?

Yes you are wrong and it will decrease the yield

Looks more like FIM, or pinching, than topping, but I prefer this result.

You can get 9+ tops by tying the top down, or top it again, or just let it go if you have plenty of vertical space.

So what would be the best option during flowering if you wanted to control the height of your plants? Tying them down? Pinching the stem?

Never top in flower, or in the seedling stage.

In flower; LST or Super-crop
