you are correct, Crispi -I almost always top my plants, for more bud growth - but, I grow almost exclusively sativa, or heavily sativa-dominant hybrids, which really seem to benefit from topping - height isn't an issue with me, as I have an 8-ft. tall grow cabinet - some indicas I have observed, do not take to topping very well at all - I don't say this as a 'growing rule-of-thumb', only to mention that topping doesn't work for every strain - of the six current 'Sour Jack' plants I have going, I topped only three of them, mostly out of curiosity with this new hybrid - so far, one oddball 'sativa-looking' pheno of these 'Sour Jacks' loved the topping, while the other, more 'indica-influenced', did not really benefit from it at all -
I also visit the HG420 forums, as well as the Treating Yourself website, (where Image Reaper is a 'roving reporter') - neither of those are nearly as active as Cannabis.com, but they do seem to be more populated with adult growers, with much better breeding information, these days - (not nearly as many "where can I buy seeds?", or "do they ship to the USA?" questions over and over again) -
a lot of my growing tips come from, as you know, the Image Reaper - he is still unable to post in here, but we stay in touch since I moved, and I 'relay' some of his better stuff - I try to avoid his rants - nice guy with a good growing background, but a cantakerous old bastard (I'll hear about that, lol) - he also prefers a couple of the other websites, but they are not nearly as active as this Cannabis.com Forum - thanks for all your kind words, keep up the 'good grows' - :jointsmile:
