I personally avoid topping as it creates a weak point on the plant for it to split and infection be introduced. Not big on pruning them either. I try and let them run their course so they can be strong as possible.
Growing weed is a great exercise in patience. Germinating seed and starting my seedlings is always the training ground for putting them out. Now that they're out, I find my training failing me. I want to get out there and check on them all the time with "giving them a drink" the excuse I use most often to convince myself it's OK to check on them. My visits are usually on weekends. I have a lot of small sites this year, so not everyone gets a regular visit.
How often do you visit your gorillas?
About every 4-5 days for me, I plan on adjusting my soil to hold more water in the future because in my opinion I visit too often.
