The only strain that I have heard of specificly to not like topping is Chronic. I would say if you cant find nothing on it then it has been done a thousand times with no problem.

i chose this strain for the yield, knowing its a great smoke as well has just made my day

i've got plants in a wilma 4 with limited space, what impact does the topping have on space required? your help is much appreciated !

they will bush out a little.. more so if your running MH or HPS for light. if you have a hight issue then you will have no choice to top.. i like a huge cola bud thats why i choose not to top..

they are looking great to me.. when did you take clones. i take clones from my flowering bid bud plant at 6 weeks into flowering.. it takes about 2 weeks longer to vert back to a veg stage but WOW for a plant.. only do this if you have room for a bush from hell..

when things go just right you can expect the plant to double in hight. i had 7 foot cellings and would flip mine over at 3 ft tall when said and done they were 6 i/2 ft tall and i got just over 5 oz per plant dryed..

ok here is my 2nd grow plants are not topped.
