Are you talking about training your plant to get more top colas?? I thought you meant pruning... Bigtopsfinn did a pretty good job of it with his grow. Here's his log:

Read through it, seriously... I read the whole damn thing and it literally TAUGHT ME how to train a plant.
good luck, as usual :thumbsup:
What I'm talking about is cutting to main stem off just below the top, under the top most set of leaves, or next set would work too. This encourages the two side nodes to grow as if it was that main top (Assuming because they have direct light)
Here are some new pictures of how she is doing today, the 17th.
She looks really nice now, and is greening up well.

I gave her another cup of full strength nutrients because I still noticed a small amount of deficiency hanging around in the leaf color. As well it was time for another watering anyways, the soil was dry about 3" down. She loves it, leaves are straight out and bathing in the weird purple hue of the LED's.
I will probably stop posting in here, and find another section that allows me to have an on going log of sorts to post my ongoing adventure with her.
Happy Hooting:rastasmoke:
That topping thing is new to me, but it sounds like it makes a lot of sense. You seem like you've got a good handle on shit now. good luck with the rest of your grow. :thumbsup:
Yeah, that topping thing is straight out of a high times magazine. I have grown another plant previous to this one that got that treatment.
It worked well, scary well..... as if I had just simply split the main growing stem, and both nodes fattened their stem, and their growth rate went through the roof.
The problem I was not able to remedy because I wasn't visiting her frequently enough (It was not at my house) was that those two nodes pulled the main stem in two during budding, and that would have been fine if it hadn't then gotten a disease of some sort through that open wound. (Just stopped budding after that happened, and started getting weird coloring around the wound site, and it was spreading through the skin.... it died, but not before I saved a clone!:thumbsup:)
Moral to my story, make sure if you want to try this yourself, to learn from my mistakes, and tie them to each other. Twist ties (From sandwich bags) work great, and are usually on hand.
Look for me in a new section soon!:rastasmoke:
