if your going to pinch to get colas, why not just keep bending the top over and grow it laterally to however long you want, genetics of course being considerd. this is what i do and i have taken as much as 3/4 of an lb off of one plant if i was a big grower i'd get a dual spectrum all encased in one bulb,sodium&halide and i could get sustantially more from one plant

I am sorry to hear about your poor reading skills, I have heard that Hooked On Phonics works wonders. If you would like to try again, I remember UB answering this question within the first 4 pages.

Anyone with a fucking brain knows you can "Top" a plant, hell you can cut 3/4 off the fucker and it will still kick ass, you could run it over with a lawn mower and it will live.

And Uncle Ben say Foliar Feeding doesn't work? Too funny.

I think he says it's in-effective, but you sure seem to know a lot about gardening:dunce:. Let me guess you think lolli-popping is great too, and flush for 2 weeks prior to harvest.:wall:

So if i top my plant and get 2 main colas, would i get double the yield?

No, but I get more from a topped plant than un-topped. I wouldn't ever expect double.

hey just need some confirmation before I make the cuts, my father's meds depend on it. Id appreciate anyone who can confirm the picture below is correct and that the black line is indeed where I make the cut on this plant. And as far as the cut goes, I just cut across horizontally?

Good luck with that.

This thread has been going on for months (if not a few years). Where's the finished product? I'd like to see the end result.
 
Hello all,

first let me say thank you to Uncle Ben for this thread, and for staying with it for so long!

I registered on this forum today because of it.

I have some questions regarding my plants before i proceed with your technique to get 4 colas Uncle Ben, and please forgive me if they have been answered elsewhere in the thread.
Two pictures are attached in regards to my questions. In the first you can see the fan leaves just above the cotyledons have been cut off. Does that mean that the node marked "A" is now the first true node?

In the second picture the two nodes above the cotyledons have suffered the same fate. Where there used to be 4 fan leaves there are now none. As you can see there is still growth shooting up from the side from where the fan leaves used to be. Do I start counting from the section marked "A", or do the cut-off fan leaf sites still count as true nodes?

Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us!
