search up "uncle bens topping for 2 or 4 colas" that is the correct way to top. you dont wanna do the 4th node. what you do is let your plant grow to 5 or 6 nodes. than if u want 2 colas cut abov the first TRUE node, if you want 4 colas cut above the second node. reason you let it grow to 5 or 6 nodes is so the plant gets a big root system and it can recover more quickly. the first node is usually the one with the first set of true leaves. usually the one with the 3 leaf shape.

So the node is where the branch comes out of the stem,from what I see,I also googled it for regular plant anatomy and that is what I gather,thank you too all

yes thats it. check out uncle bens topping for 2 or 4 colas. if u cant find it goole it. trust me its awesome

If nodes are like right under branches , couldnt you just say the fourth branch instead of node?
