by the looks of it I guess I would go with #2 but I also want to hear what others have to say.

I like to top on the 4th node

 

[curious old fart]

Top your plant at the 2nd cut and clone your cutting.

thanks mr west and old fart, also do you think the plant can hack it as im doing this, this late?

 

[nas2007]

@ mr west- how many tops do you have at toping at 4th node?

 

[tip top toker]

If the plant is healhty it should be able to hack pretty much anything you throw at it. You can snap stems right off and selotape them back on for them to heal and keep growing.

As to how many tops, well it's simply how many tops are left after cutting. If you top it, and you can see that there are 4 good equal sized stems growing out beneath where you topped,. then chances are those 4 stems are going to grow inot tops. If there are six, then six. The aim of topping alter on in it's veg, is that by that point, the stems beneath the topping site will be fairly uniform in size.

mc purp- did it smell like an atomic blast of fruit berries? I have never smelled anything like this before.

mine was a grapey kind of smell, i had to toss them though cuz they hermied at 3-4 weeks flower. sounds like it smells very good though.

Whodat, fine looking lady for being so young. Endless, no it is not organic...and I'm not convinced all organic is the way to go. DST, very nice looking young pup. Integra, thank you. tip top, I use htg's digital ballasts. I have them sitting on top of my 'stuff' cabinet on little cedar blocks which sit on top of a piece of 3/4 plywood. Digital Greenhouse is the name of them, quiet and cool. I've had them for about a year or so and also use the growbright lamps...both with fine results. No buzz, no vibration at all.

 

[Heads Up]

mr west, had a fine day today at the course, shot an 88 after not hitting the ball for almost a year. A few pars, one birdie, one double and one triple bogey.

 

[Heads Up]

nas, the fourth node would give you about ten tops if the bottom branches grow up to the canopy. Topping is very subjective, it just depends on where you want to do it. You can also supercrop your plant to keep it's height down and give the other branches a chance to catch up to the top. Look at what DST did to his dogs, that is supercropping.

Not too bad for the front nine, what did you do on the back nine?


cof

 

[Heads Up]

I smoked weed on the back nine...well on the front nine too. I want to thank those who made it possible for these little babies to find their way into my grow room, thank you one and all.

Some are self explanatory the others are white widow and grape ape. The white widown and trainwrecks and the d-og, which can be read as Puff the Magic Dragon, came up tuesday, wednesday and thursday of this week, the casey jones, og18 and headband came up thursday and friday of last week, they will be my mothers.

Edit...if you notice, the closest grape ape is the one that the root coiled in the pot before breaking ground, she's doing fine.

When do most of you top or fim your plants? I just recently chopped a Jack Herer that I topped after her 3rd node and she gave me about 40g wet. She is part of my first grow and I was anxious to start 12/12. I just put in a Rocklock that I have topped and vegged for 2 months in a 2 gallon pot, has anyone grown this strain? I've seen some threads on here with ppl getting hermies from this strain...

 

[bajafox]

Sorry, should have included pics, here is my Jack Herer from seed and my 3rd harvest from my first grow. I got impatient and cut her early to start a new plant

Great thread!! Glad to be part of the 600w club, even though my tent only recommends 300w, lol
