i topped and pruned half the leaves from the main stem. this slowed the main stem down alot and let the lower limbs catch up. the topping only gave me two colas so the other 8 were from the next 4 nodes down the plant. some of the side branches are actually bigger and higher than the main two. see if you can find the main two in the pics.

I dnt top mine and bend them over so all branches grow even. I then put them on a scrog. I get 18 to 20 branches. I cut off the little ones. I got 26 oz from this batch.

I was wondering about the topping and fim deal.
I have heard so much on other sites not to top.
Here everybody does it.

.75 grams per watt - expert grower - why did you want to top?? seriously, go grow but i bet it would be even better with topping.

Thats what i am trying to figure out. Top or not. It does not make sense to me. If i top i get 10 or so colas if i dont i get 18 or so. Big deal the top gets 2 colas.
I am going to top a couple on the next grow to check it out.
Thanks for your help with my problem.
Good growing to ya. Seen ya around ya know your stuff.
