i should have made it clearer in the 1st post...
Howdy del,

I'm curious,why would you never top a 2-3 footer ?

Also,I take it,that you believe that when you top a plant,that top should be what's cloned..do you then sex them ..or do you do that first,before topping ?

Also,have you ever tried the FIM technique ?

Also..off the subject..I read your want ad for a roomate,and I must say-it's somewhat tempting..I'm a retired/disabled feller,who should be on mmj..but I'm in Texas and you know what that means-no mmj yet. Is the offer for couples ? I don't reckon that you'd want an old,redneck hippy and a liberal Jewish gal,living there anyhow...lol.

Have a good one !!
