Skunk XL @ Hazelbox + Hazelbeam 2

Hey there Behave!! So when topping It's best to wait at least a week before topping again if not a little more since sometimes it can take a little longer to recover in soil compared to the recovery time in hydro. But most of what determines how quick they recover is how healthy they are and how that strain/Phenotype reacts to it as well. So pay more attention to how the plant is growing than the time frame. like for example if you topped it an like 3-4 days later it has grown a cpl inches and looks like you never topped because of how quick everything grew in then you should have no problem topping again at that time now if the growth is still small/newer wait and let it recover a little longer. So in short wait at least a week if not 2 before topping again but most important look at how the plant is doing health wise you don't want to stress it to much if you don't have to👍 Happy Growing!!!

Hi @Behave! Honestly no one can tell better than you (with the help of a magnifier/microscope)! Even with your nice zoomed pictures we cannot analyse the entire plant and some buds might be very different than others. Pistils can be a clue, if you noticed that new pistils have stopped appearing and old pistils have almost all turned red and curly, but the best way to ensure it's the right time is to look at the trichomes with a magnifier/microscope. Clear/Transparent/Skinny trichomes mean it's too soon, Milky/Cloudy/Fat trichomes mean the harvest window is open, Amber trichomes mean the harvest window is ending, and THC is degrading. Looking at your last pictures, I think you're very close, maybe 5-10 days, so you should be flushing already. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊
