you could do that for an expirament if you wanted.. however if you only have 2 plants, than y not go ahead and top both of them as you will get 2 to 4 main colas instead of just one.

be shure when topping to do just under node and not above or in middle of one.

alright cool thanks!! this is an experiment i just didnt want to do it if some one already knew it would end of bad.

thanks again that helps me!

Hey there,

I could be wrong.. fairly newb myself, but from what I understand, topping and scrog are different techniques to achieve similar ends. IE. i dont see why bother topping if you are going to scrog anyway.

In topping, the point is to get 2, 4, or even 8 main cola's. While (as i understand it) the plant is more or less left to grow normally.

in Scrog, the point is to not have a main cola at all, but for all your buds to get equal share of the light, and therefore have all similar sized buds and greater total yeild.

If I'm incorrect, please let me know. Just my 2 cents.

By the way. Nice lookin setup.

what lights/space/fan power you lookin at in there?

if you are going to scrog then topping both plants would be the best route. by toping you will create more shoots to fill the screen. trying to scrog without topping is kinda counter productive in my opinion.

ok so i was thinkin about topping it today.. so if anyone has any opinions and would like to share that would help! thanks!!
