I have a critical kush plant and she is 2 weeks and 5 days old today. I will attach some pics. I want to know if it is to early to top or fim her. I can’t really tell how many nodes there are now but it looks to be 4 or 5 but still Leary. I took a pic of the top and a couple of the side view. I plan on only vegging her for 4 to 5 weeks. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I had a real hard time with this myself a few yrs back. I fim them at 5 nodes. If your going 5wk veg, you have plenty of time to rebound and get great bud sites before the flip. Fim and some easy training have really made my harvests a lot bigger. Your doing great!

Top anytime, slows things down about a week but with resilient comebacks and two or more nice tops.

What are you using (nutes etc.) You gotta nice plant and thick stock...
I’m using FloraNova liquid. I topped her last night and she seems to be doing fine. I also trimmed up the bottom just a little bit. I want to do some lst but the stock is so thick now so I am going to try to do some lst when it shoots up a little bit. Hope I’m doing this all right lolC5D41FA0-7356-4E00-9285-C15280C5531B.jpeg068674E9-8DEA-4D4F-A7BD-8ACDFC4CE294.jpeg89556591-0F29-4937-A2BB-6288A949D4CD.jpeg9098D946-D9F9-4AFB-896E-7A369CDB3C95.jpeg

Its your party find out what works for you man, there's no right or wrong in it, its all opinions and what methods you learn best for your environment and situation. Some top some fim some lst which i love but the stress to some genetics will turn your baby male and some can take it and turn out great, some grow for money some medical some for personal and some science. so in the finding what and how and why (YOU) wanna grow have fun with it and know there will be problems and you will figure them out but out of this forum remember its YOUR grow and youll get 100000000000 different OPINIONS but until you try it you won't know.
Looks like you have one plant is it a sure thing(fem?)
Also looks good to me and i know its a struggle to be patient but if you would have waited a little longer your stem would have doubled and you could have taken a healthy clone and the support for your bud would have been epic.
Like i said trial and error. Theres no such thing as a master grower just people who are really good at their method.... good luck bro ill keep watch on your updates.

Just a tip you don't need a lot of those bottom leaves they'll take away from bud growth and a lot of those popcorn little nugs can go too.
Since your at flower now practice with your harvest technique and dry/cure process and next grow jump into training and trimming practice to make bigger buds and better light spread on your canopy. It'll expand your growing ability to get more out of one plant.
Oh and have fun it's a passion not a job. Loving what you've created makes your work show in the end.

5th node is the place to start topping!
Been waiting for the 5th node to top for 46 years....
