Yeah I have not found the topping to be a bad thing on my short squat type indicas but I really blew it trying to bend the branches of them on my last grow. It really reduced the amount of good bud produced on them (with tons of immature budding and a bunch of useless side growth going everywhere)....X-C didn't I hear you talk about that on one of your threads? Would like your input on that. Some other sativa type bagseed did very well with the bending so.... I've always sort of had the idea that these plants are pretty much the same so now have to go back and restudy what will work for what type of plant. God these BLUEBLOODS!
