i say tye it down and dnc cut anything but basiclly when you pinch out a growing top the 2 side shoots at that node will take over then you got 2 tops wait till thes grow a nodeor 2 and pinch them out and you will have those 2 on each top grow out giving you 4 tops but unless yer growing a lot of plants lst them bitches

you get 4 to 6 main colas just by topping once. the topped stem produces two buds and you've slowed down the main stem enough for 2 to 4 side branches to catch up.

lst them bitches https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=685 you will get way more yeild and way mor tops by low stress training and you guessed it less stress. its a lot of work if you are growin a lot of plants so in that case i would top but if you only got a few plants then lst is the way to go
and yea d-rat is sayin that when you cut it once it gives the lower branches time to catch up thus guving you the tops your looking for, at least thats how i interpreted it

Thats what were talking about. Thats a good demo of it.
I lst every time i grow. I cannot see not doing it. Everybody wants to cut the top off the plant to get 2 colas. I dis like it.

yea i do it evry time i grow too, well most of the time, i just got done a 9or10 month bout with hydro was gonna try the hydro and scrog thing but i decided to put away the hydro for a bit and get dirty for awile i have my 2 old mothers flowering now ther both like 12 months old and kinda lst'd but well you know how it is, oddlyshaped and just plain strange looking
saw where i guy on another site got 1 pound off one plant under 400w, i think it was actually scrog but its kinda the same idea of keeping the canopy even i do 2 at a time and pull like 8-10 oz.
