Well, yes, ha ha! Pretty much, but not hacking. I'll try and explain the best I can...

When topping, what it does is you cut off the main new growth shoots, and leave a small stem, about 5mm, sticking up. What this does, is it gives more energy to the side branches, getting a more bushy look, increasing yeilds some.

Cut off about 75% of the new growth shoots, In about a week or so, you should see it splitting off into 2 main colas intead of the one. Oh ya, and use a very, very sharp pair of snips or a razor blade. Make it as clean cut as possible.

I'll take a picture later tonight for an update. She's getting very smelly though with slight skunk undertones. I have flushed heavily about 3 times, I'll flush once more on Thurs., then I'll let her dry up and the slaughter will follow

Thanks all, peace :thumbsup:
