topping-or not

[tlranger]

Seems there's some discussion about topping vs lolly-popping.

some know I like a big budAttachment 294265 But I did try some topping created George Bush (there's a thousand points to light)Attachment 294266

thanks for your input. We ended up throwing half of them away but the rest look good :-)

an option would to be grow the plants horizontally. Wait until the plants are dry and pull them down and tie them over, tying the top to the pail or stem.

Pull up a chair anytime.

strain selection is everything for a lollypop plant. Some strains do it naturally, some are Christmas trees. I top my indoor plants because I have a low ceiling and only use 400 watt lamps. Bubblegum is one strain I could get to lollypop but it still gets too tall for my grow area (it's not even seven feet tall).

Your very correct, neither plant required much trimming just doing there thing

That is one BIG bud :jointsmile: :greenthumb:

With the stain I'm growing, topping it made it too "airy".. I would've rather had a thick "christmas tree" instead of a big wide bush.

When left un-topped it seems to feed each cola more equally, and they have less popcorn nugs.

From now on, I'm just going to let the plants do their own thing

I've been researching what topping is but regardless of topping or no topping I believe the plants yield would be the same. Correct me if I am wrong but yield depends a lot on lumens/wattage as well as spectrum nutrients etc... but in general you get the idea.
