umm.. fox...
thats balls to the wall dude.. have you ever accidentaly "lopped" instead of "dead head"

?

you should explain this dead head technique more... I have never heard of waiting until the last 2 weeks of flowering... and I think you are one brave mother to be messing with BIG "C" 2 weeks before she's ready!!

: )

topping... make sure, that if you top the main cola.. you turn that sucker into a clone... that's your meal ticket!!

Why do you want to top? Have you considered just bending her over... using a twist TIE... the reason for this is so that you can bring the light closer to the rest of the plant, balancing it out with the extreme hieght of the main cola... rather than top it... you bend it and then bring the light down..

Garden Knowm Reviewed by Garden Knowm on . Simple Topping Question First, I would like to apologize for the seemingly pointless questions I have been asking lately, but it has really helped me get a grasp on this process as a whole. I really appreciate the time you guys take for answering my questions. I was just wondering, I heard not to top until the 5th node forms. If you top at an early enough age will the new growths grow nodes and form branches? If they do can you top again for even more colas? Rating: 5
