"Honey....bring me some more fucking xanax now. Right the fuck now."

Pinching....as expressed by your friend.....

"Taking your finger nails and grabbing the top growth and pinch the top off with your finger tips." Toss the growth you just removed into the trash, whatever.

TOPPING....

"taking a razor and grabbing the top growth and slice or cut the top growth and take the stuff you just cut and clone it."

Topping or pinching result in the same. You have removed the MAIN KOLA from the plant. It is now gone forever.

It does not magiacally grow into a two headed top.

After you pinch or top, the same thing, you have no more main kola.

Got that?

What you do, is force the plant to take the two highest secondary growth spots, and force them to act as the main kolas for the plant.

So you are essentially removing the genetic top, and forcing the plant to focus growth on secondary grow spots.
