again, i beg to use proper spelling and punctuation! how can anyone take what you say seriously when it can't be deciphered?

sure, you could top a plant in flower, but why? during the first 40% of the time in flower a plant goes through "the stretch" before spending the last 60% of it's lifetime fattening up, trying to catch pollen, it's only purpose on the planet. it takes time for the growth hormone auxin to be re-distributed to the auxiliary bud sites. if you top in flower, even during the first two weeks not only are you decreasing your yield, but like WW said, you can hermie your plant not to mention it will take longer to finish.

i like to teach proper methods. thanks for trying to correct me though.

headshake Reviewed by headshake on . When and IF 2 STOP topping a plant?? I have this question.. Is it ok to top your plant as much as you want (obviously not over stressing it, and giving it healing time in-between toppings) until flowering time? I know topping, while your flowering, is not a good move, but as long as your in the vegetation stage it should be ok to top as much as you want right? I heard topping an un-feminized seed too much could result in hermaphridite or male charactorists such as beans and junk. ----anyone with experience on excessive Rating: 5
