hey, yea agreed.. all about experimentation.. cheers
hey dude, yea each crop is different so I dunno, 2-3 days to see sprouting after topping is certainly possible but Ive never seen it happen.. prob depends on how far down u cut.. the more number of nodes you keep on the cutting (cutting farther down the stem) the longer it will take for new growth to form on the top, so maybe that guy just snipped the very very topmost leaf set above the top node which yea would regrow within a few days.. the last plant I topped was about 1 week ago and it was about 3-4 nodes down from the very top and has not really shown any signs of regrowth yet but prob will in the next week..
suggestion:
if the base of the plant is growing well, that means the health of the plant did not suffer from your topping effort which also means that you now have the freedom to take cuttings from the bottom branches to make your clones (yes, NOW!).. don't have to wait cuz the plant has already recovered, it adapted to the loss in vegitation at the top by increasing growth at the base so if you take cuttings now at the base, it will be forced to move back into the strategy of regrowing the top (which is what you want).. good luck!

Awesome! Thanks for the advise. That makes great sense! I will take clones (from bottom of course) this wknd.
+rep!
