you can either prune the growing tip, just cut off the main stem, just above the highest 'fork' ... or, a lot of people prefer to just 'train' your plant ... just keep bending it over, tying it down, if necessary ... if the stem is trained horizontally, new buds will form all along the length of the stem ... (marijuana obeys a receptor in the highest part of the plant, ...tying it down, or cutting off the highest point, allows for new growth along its length, where it is seeking the sun) ... hope that helps ... :smokin:

so cut everything off after the 4 node (if theres 5 nodes), leaves and budz and everything?? how many nodes should the plant have before i do that?

Hello FUEGO .............. Not a stupid question at all, it's asked many times and it can be a little daunting if you have never done it before but it is easy honest .

I think the general rule is to top (pinch) a plant after the fifth node, I always call it pinching because I just pinch the new growth off with my fingernails but if you're never done it before, I reccomend you use a pair of small sharp sisscors.
Be very carefull not to take off any of the two diagional shoots because they will form the two main stems. Just take off the new growth at the top .

I'll post some pics showing where the cut/pinch is done, and a couple taken later to show the new main stems growing.
