what is topping and how do you do it? what does it do? and what does bending do? does this increase yeild?
makes em real bushy if done rite.then tieing em down will bring bigger and better buds,bending for me lets the plant know it is about to be worked with and it opens up more grow shoots and by time goods arrive to bud it has to work real hard to get there so it be real strong by time of roller coaster ride of bends and turns
looks wierd i say but better bud another day or 2 away
And toping will give you more branches to grow more buds. This plant was 3.5 pounds of buds
WoW could some one please tell me exactly how to TOP
yeah, I second that.
Any links that show step by step on how to top?
dont go by those links.please.they say use fishing string.....no!no!no!.it will cut into ur grow and break off at where tie is at...use metal cloths hangers only,that education is wrong.go use string and see what happens.very wrong inexperienced idea!!!!!!use metal cloths hangers and look at my tie or hooks and toppings.sorry.that is the only way.just cuz i never been in a book dont mean shit.only use metal cloths hangers.and only the experienced should try this.this is the one and only way to do a propper tie(hook) and toppingQuote:

3.5 pounds...I dont know what i would do with myself...
Hello turborunner03t :)
Topping, well I call it pinching ;) . Yes it does work and it does increase the size of the yeild. I just pinch the once before inducing flowering which then gives my plants 2 main stems.
I just simply pinch off the new growth at the top of the plants between my finger nails being carefull not to take off any of the area where the new stems are going to grow from.
It really is very simple :)
Affraid I'm not yet up to Zandors standards, don't think I'll ever quite manage that but I'm trying :o
love mand xxx :)
This plant was topped, kinda looks like a "minnie me" of Zandors. The other 4 in the tubs were and are tied down. :) (middle pic was topped)Frosty nug pics are in pics only thread if any one is interested
