you posted this in faqs under cropping and bending,

By removing the mail cola between the 4th & 5th node in early vegetation stage will keep the plant shorter and bushier. This works to keep the plants shorter thus better for indoor growing. You can grow in cabinets and still yield a pound or more with a SCOG method of growing. The main cola contains the anit-oxidant that controls height and other factors of the plant. (Think of it as the controller) when you remove the control everything is running on their own clock and time, but still moving in the same directions.(simple version) The lower braches will have time to grow and catch up with the rest of the branches and the yield will increase accordingly.

if you dont mind could you help me out here

you claim the main cola to be the main controller ..... when the plant gets tied down at the 4th node the top is now the the same height as the rest of it, as the plant grows, if you can maintain the top and side chutes at the same height, the side chutes become colas and the density of ALL the colas looks the same........ has the plant simply focused all its energy equally into each cola, being confused as to where the original MAIN cola is??
i have treid this several times in the past ... proving it very effective with phenominal results.... NEVER putting the ladies undre the knife ....
just trying to back my theory here ..... i do agree that the plant focuses on the primary cola but am i really "confusing" the plant??

thanks for your time.
