Alright well I topped all of my plants at least once. I now have two great big main branches instead of 1 on each plant. One plant (way sativa dominant) was growing and growing and growing and it's by far my tallest plant. I topped alllll of it's branches, even the smaller ones below the main two, as well as the two new branches got topped for a second time. The plant didn't miss a beat and sprouted 2 new shoots from each branch!!! I just doubled my shoots!! AND ITS STILL MY TALLEST PLANT! (and it's also the only one to have shown sex so far, which is female btw :dance: ) I experimented with "staking" down the two main branches on some of the plants (a few that were noticeably dominant sativa and would grow long long long anyway) so the light could penetrate the plant and get some more shoots going. New shoots are starting and growing straight up to the sky! Instead of 2 main branches touching the sky with ones below it, I've got about 6 main branches now!!!

Also, one that I topped....it sprouted two new main branches RIGHT from where I topped it. It's the only plant that did this. It sprouted 2 new sprouts along with the two that I expected to be the main branches. So I got an 2 more shoots than I was expecting, but Im not complaining!

I think topping and staking is what I'm going to do from now on. I would love to let them be and grow to be 5 foot monsters but I just don't have that kind of space height-wise. I NEED to keep them short and bushy for safety purposes. Besides, I am also hoping all this topping and staking and new shoots will equal MORE BUD!!

Once my awesome little brother brings his camera back home from his girlfriends, I will take some pictures and get them up ASAP.

PS: Thanks for all the replies and the help!! I appreciate all of it!!
