Topping

How do you properly top a plant so it is really bushy instead of unmanageably tall?

you read FAQ on here, and do your own homework. or just clip it in half some where.

Ok, thanks.

well they seemed to have changed the FAQ section, it is not very user friendly, so let me point you in a better direction. search for uncle bens topping techniques to get 2 or 4 cola's. that what you need to read, good luck.

Cool, thanks man!

there it is, read away. i wish they would fix the FAQ section/

I know, it is not very helpful. haha I read that page and it was very helpful, but what i do not understand is what he means by cutting above the 2nd true node?

On a seedling the second true node is the second after the cotyledons. So actually you will see three set of leaves when you look at the plant the cotyledon then the two nodes. Hope this helps good luck dirrtyd

Thanks man it did! I am a first time grower and i have been studying growing and whatnot for a few months for the upcoming growing season. I am trying to find ways to make the plant bushy and the buds big and fat so to speak. Any other tips for that?

oh yeah uncle ben yeah!!!

The best tip I can give you is get good genetics to start with. dirrtyd

Ok, thanks again!

give it as much soil as you possibly can to grow in.

And some nutes for roots. Strong healthy roots equils nice solid buds.

On topping, I just posted an article on supercropping to my journal. Check it out, it covers all the info.

some good advice in here, but if you want bushier plants as opposed to taller ones, remember the root system reflects heavily on the plant. Lots of room for the roots to grow out horizontally as opposed to deeper will help create a bushier plant. growing in kiddy pools and large smart pots will help you achieve something like this.

Thanks for the tips people! I will check that journal out now.
