I never said it was your problem... i didnt mean any offence by it... let me explain what i mean.
There are two levels of two opposing leafsets, nodes, in that shot. There are no contradictions when it comes to hormonal responses, it is what it is. FWIW, that plant was buried up to the first leafsets and produced 4 main colas. It's foolproof.Some eye candy fer ya'll on one of my crosses grown outdoors - Positronics Haze X Sensi Skunk ~
Seedling in germ cup topped to get 4 main colas. Notice how leggie it is:
Here you show an example of you using your method of topping to get 4 colas ^^..... but thats doesnt look like you topped at the second true node to me?
This is what i meant by you seemed to contradict yourself, by explaining how to do it one way, then doing it a different way yourself.
For a better thread on the subject which includes a revised FAQ, try here - http://riddlem3.com/index.php/topic,1106.0.html The 2nd photo in that thread shows the attached cotyledons too. It's a side shot. Also shows the outward growth characteristic the other member was concerned about.
Don't try to make this out harder than it is. It's so simple even a cave man can do it.
Having said that, are you here to argue using rhetorical "gotcha" questions or you growing a garden and having topping issues?
