Nothing grows back, when u top, u destroy the the cells in the plant that are responsible for new growth. However, every node/budbranch/budsite, has the same cells that create new growth like the top had before u cut it off. So, the new primary growth that used to be the top, now resumes on the 2 nodes closest to the top that were already there. All the growth is moved to the those 2 spots now, and u will have 2 branches that go up instead of one stalk. If done correctly and lst'ed u could get more yeild because more light hits the overall plant, so u didnt screw anything up, just didnt realize what u did. When doing topping u promot the plant to grow more "bushy" then "tall". So overall you'll get more consistent buds from top to bottom, opposed to have a big cola and smaller buds .
JackdaWack Reviewed by JackdaWack on . some quick advice How long should I wait until I can remove the strings that are tying down the branches so they won't go upwards? I have a little bit of a space issue, the lights are at the maximum height they can go and the plants are getting taller. There is no middle stalk on account I cut them in an attempt to top the plant when they were young, and it hasn't seem to grow back yet...on either of them. My thought was because there was no light getting through to the cut part of the stalk because the other Rating: 5
