How many nodes before I top them?

[wjkingsnorth]

I don't want to run into the same issue as my last crop. My tent is 6.5 feet tall, I don't want the plants too tall. How many nodes should I allow before I top the plants?

If I top, I usually top once right out of the cloner, probably at about the 4th node, then once after they grow out a bit. I usually prefer to train over topping though. When they are about a foot tall I will bend the main top over  and then the side branches will shoot up. Then  I will super crop as needed to keep them short an even in height. My cielings are 7ft, and I veg 7 weeks, this is the best way I have found to keep them in control. If they are still growing too fast, I will top each of the branches.
