Abusive is nice ...
But its kush dominant....
More like an old classic kush....
Allot like some purp kush or purp og....
I hear theres a cut thats more og .....
But the classic old abusive og cut is more kushy......
I try not to top to often......i just veggem a lil earlier....
But your right ...topping would definately improve yield.....
....May have to start topping the ogs.....
But i tend to go for quality not quantitiy ...and that what i have....
This new grow i got going is now is more tailored for highh yield without sacrificing quality....
Good luck with your abusive....
And id like to see a pic of some of your sky's.... that cut is hard to get a hold of and is supper funky stinnky....
There is no mistaking it...Supper explosive bud growth ... very high bud to leaf ratio....
Yea you have to top those OG strains, it makes a huge difference. It controls the stretch as well.
Thanks, I'll post some pics of the Abusive once its ready.
Here is a pic of my Skywalker table. They just woke up so they are still a little sleepy, haha.

You can see that at 3 weeks into veg most of the plants are only 12" to 18" and they already have 4 - 8 tops a piece. In another week or two when I am ready to flip I will have 24" to 30" plants with 6 - 20 tops each.
Definately looks skywalker at this point...
I vegged my skywalker for 2 weeks and came up with a 4 footer....
Thats a great choice of og to grow man...
The way i see it ..sky is so lanky and leafless...
Youd could put a bunch in a tall space.....
I would like to see the finished product....
U bring up some interesting topic id like to bring up....
The way i see it ...is that i hate beasters..
When i mean beasters ... i mean very tall plants.....5ft+
These plants tend to have more popcorn buds and are airier than small plants....
Plus since im using a 400 i cant really get penetration beyond 3 to 4 feet ......
So i like em shorter.... like kush plants ...small dense...
But i dont top just for the fact that , depite a better canopy...
They tend to go off in different directions and have more bud sites to feed....
giving less time to mature befroe its dead.....
And i feel that top bud is always more potent than the 4 or 5 top heads ....imo
My ideas may just be thoughts, not facts , but its simple common sense for my grow....
I see allot of difference in fruit , especially small fruit apposed to bigger ones.....
For instance apples or grapes..(vegatables too)lol
The smaller ones are sweeter and more sour ..
And the bigger over nuted muscle ones arent as sweet.....
These diferences ive noticed with smaller plants and bigger plants...
The beauty of og is it grows tall but has limited grow sites , with more explosive bud growth than sun leaves production.....
This is just what i noticed from my crops....
Topping to me takes time and im ready to move on to the next one faster.... and in time it works out.. I shoten veg ....but allow enuff time for ample root growth ....
Had some okay topping experiences.... but its tuff to top a nice og when it looks so lovely...
You also bring up some good points and ideas. I would love to test those theories that less bud sites make the buds taste better. Or that the smallers ones taste better.
Are you flushing your plants? And are you using sugars and carbs when you flush?
looks good.i think ill get some skywalker clones for next grow.u have n e other suggestons for me?
lol, you've come a long way with that camera![]()
Looking good cheese... I wish I could get a hold on some clones or seeds of your kind
