Shit I almost forgot im glad i made that grow log I can check
the dates on the posts......LOL, 28 days. They were under a
Hps for the first week then I stuck them in a window for a few
days till i got the CFL's cause the temp in my grow box was to
high. They have only been under CLF's since 7/21.

Im going by height not by days for when I start 12/12.

I am doing one of the smallest grows u can and i am gonna go with topping it seems to me it leaves hight<--:) a lone and concentrates more on the bottom leafs making it bushier. so i think it depends on the grow. but in my case i will be topping.

MeatRulz = im doing the same thing your doing, smallest grow possible.. if possible can u add my msn/icq ?

Also yabatab thanks :D + i always used CFL's aswell :) (add my msn/icq aswell :D )

Aaaa... LST is wining :D

if u have two plants, top the one, tie the other down and see which works best for you.

I combined topping and LST for the last three plants, and they kicked ass. So, I vote for both. ;)

But as a practical consideration, topping (to produce more main colas) is strain-dependent in regards to what effect it has. Some strains just reallocate the bud mass that would have been on one cola and spread it across several, whereas some plants simply cannot reach their full potential without topping. It just so happens that the strains I have like topping, and react well to it, sooo...
