When is it seasonally too late to top a marijuana plant?

There's 3

imeant the other guy with that one sorry

Seriously if you can safely remove 2 the other 2 would thank you for it... but then of course try to put those 2 in new thingys as well.

I was gonna wait for signs of males and then just carefully pull them up. Or just transplant both to a bigger spot.

 

[weed420420420420420]

OP you need to get those separated. They are gonna start punishing you very soon if you dont.
No not both in a bigger spot. Each one in it's own spot is how we grow cannabis bud.

They're encroaching eachother. That the greenhouse. I'm usually indoors. I did no expect this boom of growth.

I'm going to prune and top to focus energy. As long as it's not too late in the season (that's the big question)

ok you go and you do that. I'm trying to help this guy start from scratch.

 

[Grayshan]

Ok thanks. I’ll separate them. I appreciate it.

OP you WILL NOT GET A HARVEST AT ALL wit that configuration. ZERO BUDS. The plants are going to DIE SOON. You need to get them separated RIGHT NOW or there will be ZERO BUD.

Sorry

I do it too... Those are males i dunno. If you want a bushier pollen harvest I guess. Or if you think wind is gonna rip them up.

 

[E9noxis]

They're in a greenhouse. I'm not worried for wind

 

[weed420420420420420]

Well you know. Pollen is pollen. I guess if you want a thicker pollen canopy.

Recently topped a few outdoor plants
In the veg state. It’s already August 6 and I’m wondering if topping a plant is a bad idea this close to the flowering period. Here are pictures of 2 topped and 2 untopped plants. Any thoughts on this appreciated.

Way to early to top

That was fun. The separation was actually pretty smooth. I was able to get nearly all of the roots from one plant up after carefully rolling the pot in a table. I figured it was better to just leave the remaining plant in place and add soil as opposed to shifting it to the middle of the pot. But time will tell. I had never heard that song before.

Ya you dont want 2 plants tangled like that. It's not harmonious like you might think. They start arguing and fucking each other up right when flower starts.

Last year I tried the 2 per pot thing and was lucky enough to have each pot have one male and one female. So I ended up with just 2 plants in their own pots. But then bud worms pretty much ruined em and one plant died. I still have the harvest. Lol. But yeah, in hindsight it’s a bad idea and the one plant could of died from root rot caused by the other male plants roots. You think I’d learn.
