I've never harvested before, but the one with the fewer big tops looks like its going to yield more total than the one with the lot of little tops, simply cause it has like 12 really big stems and thats it and one serious main one. I'll let you know which way works out better in a few weeks.

The one on the left was topped, which meant it stopped growing right there, and branched off in to those two colas at the top of that pic. The rest of the nodes below the top grew up into tops when we tied the topped part down. Count the pairs of two, each side has about the same number, but a couple of the ones that came up way from the bottom did so on the same side cause of bending. We must have cut it on the 6th node, I'll confirm next time I go look at them.

Plant count:
I have one that was topped then LST'ed, one that was only LST'ed, and 2 that were LST'ed, then I FIM'ed and LST'ed all the resulting tops, cause they were fast growers. Check out the 3 budded tops I got from FIM'ing right before flowering.


Pics:
First one was one of the LST caused tops that wasn't FIM'ed.
Second one is one that was. Lol, we weren't planning on flowering, but they got big fast so we went ahead and did even though we had only cut them like days before. So if anyone was wondering, thats what happens when you don't wait for them to recover from topping before floweirng :stoned:
