heres a side view of my tent where you can see a topped using UB's method plant and a topped at 5th node plant! the 5th node one is alot more random growth, as you can see i have taken the bottom 5th of groth out of all of the babys i know its frowned upon in this thread but i di it anyway...always have. and removed a few of the larger fan leaves i will completly leave alone now untill they get the chop
let me know your thoughts peeps xx

Harvest day for most of my colas. Left some on the plant in the field. Very strong bubble gum smell, fruity, from a C99 backcross. Very short pistils. Some bud rot thanks to the 10+ rain from TS Hermine. Got the leaf loss in check with increased N doses during flowering. Very resinous. Colas hanging from coat hangers drying now. Aunt Benita and I spent an hour manicuring this stuff with 1/3 to go out in the field.

Grats on the harvest. Now whens the sampling party
. Sorry to hear about the rain. I hope it wasn't too much of a loss. I hope you'll get some finished pics of it up here sometime.

I judge a plant by it's progression on many factors, don't rely on trichome color. If it's not producing many fresh pistils, perhaps doing some male bananas....it's time to harvest. No two plants are the same. Like a fruit tree, I harvest as the buds are ready, my call.
lefreq, nice plant structure on your faves.
borijus, whenever you can, always combine natural sunlight with HID, it's the best of both worlds. Mimic your desired photoperiod with the addition of the HID.
Wish we could do a sampling party! This is one fruit bomb.

I wouldn't do that SpeedDevil. I've done it but with autos it's a big trade off. Yes, you will get 4 colas but *any* stress on an auto and it stunts their growth. Normal plants, yeah you never even notice the plant being stunted if you blink twice. I grew off about 50 autos this spring/summer and I got more by not topping. The rest of my plants, the full season ones, are another story; I'm totally sold on topping - just not for autos. BTW, welcome to the forum.

Just did a secondary harvest on an outdoor plant.
Super dense rootball in this link, definately worth a read:

4 cola structure, photo taken this morn.
Friend of mine that hitched a ride. Little guy was rather shy, every time I turned the pot to take a shot he walked to the back side! I moved faster on this one.
Secondary harvest:
It does make a difference! I will easily get another ounce of dried bud, and yes, there were alot of (healthy) green fan leaves trimmed off before this shot. The small ones left are covered with trichomes. If any leaves are covered in trichomes, they don't get dropped.
Have a great Sunday,
Tio

After reading your stuff I switched to the two harvest method and it really does work as long as I keep them healthy.
Thanks UB for all you do for us Newbs.
