No problem. Glad to have you along for the ride.
Just a thought to those that are writing me regarding cultural questions, please don't do it in a PM. Start a thread.
The reason why your friends are telling you that is based on their experience, they are not able to get production from top to bottom. You gotta ask "why" when folks make such a blanket statement.
The ability to differentiate between facts and feelings is really important, no matter what you're doing in life.

yse i read thta and looked at the pic but iv herd many times that that isnt the second node it seems like people have a differents opinion, so thanks for lettin me know it is the secondnodeLDO, it is hard to kill someone through the net
But if you had read the last few pages of this thread you would see me clearly pointing out to where the cutting site is. Theres even pictures with lines involved..
im sorry i did read this post, and i have read books, on plant physiology, and culture, and im not to lazy, and u made this thread to help but yet u get all pissed when u have to answer a few qeustions, it seems like al your response to people is a dickhead answer, i dont even see why people ask u cuz u just a dick, dont make the thread if u dont want to answer some shit, and people do do researching and every website everybook every person has somthing different shit to say like where the true second node is,
PS ur a dick dude smoke some more weed to calm yourself

So uncle Ben, I used your topping technique on all four of my plants, worked wonders on three (thx 
), the other is taking much longer to recover and seems to have about 5 shoots coming out of the place where I topped it...what have I done wrong? What is happening here? is the plant salvageable?

he's been answering the same questions for 167 pages.. did you notice how old this thread is? he has every right to respond how he sees fit.
the true second node is the same place EVERY time, thats not really something that is debatable. its like discussing "is two plus two really four?" it's fact, there is not debate.
get a life loser.

jsut cuz it was answered already gives him no right to be a dick, also ive read many posts and books and have watched videos and have expeirence with very well known growers, and none of them ever agree on wich is the second node, some count nodes different, so ya it is debatalbe when theirs all these diffent answers and i got a life i dont sit here all day on ubs nut like you, peace not gonna argue just sayin ub is a dick head, and i dont know why evryone likes him, but what everhe's been answering the same questions for 167 pages.. did you notice how old this thread is? he has every right to respond how he sees fit.

CLEARLY it gives you the right to be an asshole i see
Node - 3 [Botany] the part of a plant stem from which one or more leaves emerge. (as defined by Oxford's English Dictionary)
With this in mind, UB is discussing the "second node" which would clearly refer to the second set of shoots coming off of the main stem. Given the cotyledons are not considered to be true leaves, we would not count this as a node. So therefore, start at the cotyledons, count up "1...2..." we arrive at the second node.
Please, go into detail about how this differs from plant to plant. Then we can discuss how 2+2 equals ANYTHING other than 4 based on what time of day it is.
In the meantime, lrn2botany HERE
yes that is exactly what i do.. i sit here and jerk off to the thought of Uncle Ben.i got a life i dont sit here all day on ubs nut like you, peace not gonna argue just sayin ub is a dick head, and i dont know why evryone likes him, but what ever
you can't claim to not be arguing when you are. if you're not prepared to argue that is one thing, but don't claim you are not.
With these things in mind, care to have an intelligent discussion with evidence, proof, quotes ANYTHING to back up the bullshit you're peddling?

The hell you say. It's my thread and if you don't like my style or like being told you're lazy for 1. not using the search feature, 2. lurking, or 3. doing some research, then get the hell out of my thread and don't come back with your gimme attitude. I/we don't owe you a damn thing. Got it?
If you don't know what a node is after it's been explained 10 frickin' times by about 4 different members starting with page one, then you're just a leech with his hand out and are not welcome.
It is not my intent to teach the basics, I'm here to try to help folks understand plant hormonal responses and offer another way of training your plants.
