Where To Top Alternating Nodes (from Clone) Help

[georgebush420]

Hi All,

All the videos I've watched on topping shows a top typically in the center of a set of leaves. Maybe i missed the thread that shows alternating nodes and topping. Could you point me in the right direction or highlight the best point on my pictures?

Thanks in advanced

Uncle Bens thread is a great read, but he says "a clone that shows alternating nodes (phytollaxy) will not work"

Remove the highest top..

Thats what I ended up doing, first time and the alternating nodes confused me.

You need to top at the leading point, when the last node beneath is less then .5 inch away - they will both start a new main....I tend to follow them up and do it again for a next set. Sometimes once more. The thing to keep in mind is proper support on the initial topping - if the plant is not a very heavy stemming plant...
