hey i don't know the answer to your topping question cause im personally unfamiliar with those strains (im sure someone can answer it tho). As for the lighting question, if you want lower bud development you don't necessarily want a higher wattage (altho that will just make all the buds bigger in general of course), you want supplementary lighting- like lighting pointing at the bottom of the plant. a 600w is much superior than a 400w tho.
dutch.lover Reviewed by dutch.lover on . Topping Hi, does anyone know from personal expierience if the strains 'white russian' or 'Ice' respond well to topping. I picked some nice strains so I want to get the most possible out of this grow. Also, I've just ordered myself a knew 600w HPS/MH light. I haven't used a 600 before an was wonderin how much better light penetration they have over 400's, as I'm deciding what height to start flowering. don't want to waste my time growing taller plants if there's not much lower bud development. If anyone Rating: 5
