I'm trying to find a strain in my grow to try topping...I've done 2 in my current grow, but I've got another starting and want to know which ones will actually respond well to it...

I've got:
Big Buddha Chiesel
Greenhouse Cheese
Paradise Whiteberry
Dinafem California Hash and Blue Hash?

In my current grow I've tried Uncle Ben's topping technique on a Whiteberry and Blue Cheese...can't tell how that's turning out yet. And I've trimmed 2 Greenhouse Lemon Skunk clones to look bushy...but it was easier because they were clones and bushy to start with.

u can top any strain m8, but remember topping will put a little strain upon the plant so if she is already stressed then wait until u think shes ready then top away, i always top my plants once at around week 4 before flipping to 12/12.

I know, but I've read certain strains don't respond well to it (like Serious Seeds Chronic), while others do....at least that's what the breeders are saying.

I think you can top any strain whenever you want. Definitely want to give it time to recover before flowering though. That california hash from dinafem is the shortest bushiest plant I have ever seen, almost like an autoflowering size, nice bud too.

The Cali Hash wasn't really tall, but I've seen shorter and bushier...like the Greenhouse Cheese. Cheese is pretty easy to grow, I'm just trying to figure out how to grow it big, so mine have been short...we'll see how this batch does since I waited longer to flower them. Right now I've got the most stinky Blue Cheese ever, grown from a seed from one that hermied...it smells like, really, really, stinky cheese.

Hey man, just finished my whiteberry, its still drying. But I tied it down and got 6 serious looking colas. Alot of people say its main cola dominant but height was an issue for me, id still do it even if height wasnt an issue though. Its gonna be delish

bigbud/northenlights is a very hardy plant that can be topped more than once, i topped mine twice and it didnt mind at all, it didnt even slow the plants growth.
if topped at around 12inches it will grow to 2 n half ft tall and produce nice big dank buds.

I think I might've actually done Uncle Ben's topping technique right to get 4 main colas on my Whiteberry, and 2 on my Blue Cheese. We'll see, pics will be up in my 4th grow journal soon. Height is no issue for me right now and Whiteberry is my biggest yeilder so far.
