I topped my plants about 36H ago.
All other are okay, but I think I cut one plant wrong.
I can see only one branch comeing ( all others have 2 branches)
Is that normal?

Peace!

that 1 was probably showing signs of maturity, ie, the nodes pop out single on each alternating side

I've accidentally topped wrong before and it could also be you cut the top too close and accidentally got one of the branches as well. How many sets of leaves do you have and how close did you cut the tops to the now top set of leaves? Ideally you want to have like a 1/4-1/2" stem still sticking out from the top.

I cut the fifth leaf set.
I cut them just there, where the nodes are :S
Shit, now I will still have 1 Main cola , AND I stressed the plant.
I cut the others to from the nodes.
But they are perfectly fine ;)
Thanks for your replies.

what are the odds , that there will come 2 branches?
Or will I get 1 main cola.
But the plant is getting bushier.
Niiice!;)

i kept trimming fan leafs and topping and forced a bunch of big colas once i think it had 10 colas sometimes the plants.. indica , sativas are verry different and that one was a freaky bush. but im no pro they where not huge colas but pleny of them.;)
