so how was it shit? felt like you wouldve gotten more bud if you hadn't top? or do you think it effected the overall health of the plant?

Many of the advanced techniques in the advanced cultivation section of rollitup are in fact the same techniques employed in different ways and in different orders to produce basically the same effect.

you are right to a point but topping is basic and mainline is advance

potency is mostly genetic, keep the plant happy enough to express its full potential and you're good to go....

really, with the genetics out there these days, potency isnt an issue, yield is, its a cash crop....

for a newbie its easy to get wrong at some point with mainline as there a lot too it

most growers should be able to top the plant once and get 2-4 tops lol without any problems

fim causes auxin dominant top to become damaged so the lower shoots become the auxin dominant tops, so it all depends how many lower shoots you have at the same height/size
and the amount of light there getting (unshaded), as the top (fimmed) shoot repairs it self often you get couple of small shoots/nodes start to grow, and if you get it right the lower shoots may have grow to the same height as the new shoots so you can end up with 4-6 tops

topping is the easy way imo and you can pick where to top depending on the node spacing and this can give you 6 tops with a little lst :)
