When can i cut off the top???

I have some question about cutting the top off..
,when can i do it?? Does it relate about level of the leaves??

It's because i plant my girls in the garden and it seems it has not enough light
that's make she streched and spindly..

i had heard about cutting the top off in some forums(but can't find it yet again)
about all this has this effect in the after ?? and what would should i do to make it correctly??

Thank's

have you thought about bending your plants?

cut it just above the third set of leaves. the branches that grow from the main stem will be your new main growth shoots. this is known as "topping" and is used to keep plants short and bushy.

P.S. if your plant is stretched move it closer to the light, if you are using cfl's plants can be within a couple inches.

wow, never know about that thank's Mr. TheDankness and Mr. motoracer110
will learn much more about 'topping'
