When you top a plant,You accually cut out the first branch or stem section.I think it's Cruelty to cannabis! Just a joke.....Ha Ha!It's a nice section of the plant,too.Topping an adult plant that is woody,will have a tendency to snap and splinter.After all,the stem or stalk is the plant's straw! It sucks,and is hollow to a certain point.Really!The base of the stem and a little further up the plant is hollow.You can't top or cut it to low! Sound extreme to me.... When you top and if you top? Please? Don't cut any lower than above the last node at the top of the plant.Just cut it.You topped sunthin!

Holla!
