When/Where Should I Top?

I have 2 barneys farm LSD, 1 blue hash, 1 afrodite, and 1 diesel strains growing at about 2 weeks right now with the 3rd set of leaves coming in. I am wondering when I should top them and where as well. Please don't refer me to another guide. I would appreciate any advice/tips I can consider into this situation. Thanks

the very first thread in advanced cultivation explains this. you tube is another great site.

personally i would wait till about 5-6 nodes, then basically you clip the top off, right above the node below the top your cutting...

Simple answer. When you get 4 sets of leaves, cut it back to 3 sets and let it go.

*Myself*, I let the fourth set develop enough so there is an actual stem between the third and fourth, and cut there, just above the third set.

There is a great guide with pictures and everything on this site that I was going to point you to, but you specifically asked not to be referred to another guide, so....... The advice you have been given will have to do.

Heres a photo guide that helped me....

Shang that second video of fucking hilarious as shit dude. LMAO

Lol at the second video too.. I grew my Big Bud to 6 nodes then topped the 5th, im now prety sure it has 4 cola's... It was hard to tell at first as the lower branches were longer than the top already, but they too have started showing signs of cola growth... However I heard BigBud always responds well to a topping... It was the first time I topped and I was nervous as hell, but then these guys pointed out, worst comes to worst, you just FIM by accident... Topping shouldnt ever kill a healthy plant =]
