A friend of mine topped my last harvest and the plants never really got over 3 ft tall, they were short and bushy. I'm 12 days into flowering and my new plants are as big as the last ones when finished! How do you top a plant correctly, and is it too late to do it now?
Also, he said when you clone them there's a way to cut the branches where 2 will come out from each cut? I'm kinda retarted when it comes to this so detailed explanations would help. Thanks everyone!
You should do it at least 10 days before you start flowering.Quote:

if you top a plant in veg it usually grows 2 main leads instead of one and if you search theres somthing in a thread around here called the fim technique which can produce up to 6 i think if done right
On topping your plants during vegitation,how many times should you top it?I have 5 growing in a pretty good size closet in 5 gallon buckets,& i figured topping them about 3 times would be enough so that i would get say 6 to 8 runners on each plant!I do believe that would be enough or would that be to many runners & should i just top them 2 times so i'd have 4 bigger colas?I have 6 x 8 & 8 foot high closet so i was going to let them grow around 4 foot during veggie state before i put them into flowering stage!
I said topping but some people call it pruning top out so it will make more runners,so i'd like to know how many i should do to insure the most out of the grow!!THXQuote:

Midniter, Plants will generally double in size during bloom stage, if you veg to 4 ft in an 8 ft closet, you may run out of room for your lights! good luck.
