Has anyone grown Ice Cream from Paradise Seeds?
I want to top them but not sure how this strain responds.
Any help would be appreciated

Everybody knows you can't top ice cream if you do the plant gets confused and starts growing roots above the soil line

The only thing you don't fuck with is auto flowers. You let those be as they are. Everything else, have at it. If your scared, try fimming instead of topping. You get four colas instead of 2 and your removing less plant matter so it's a faster recovery to boot.

The reason I ask about topping is that my only other grow was LA Confidential, and they warn against topping.
I lst them and am having great success.
I spent a lot on these ice cream beans and I don't want to mess them up

Apologise for my jape nobody was replying and I was bored, all cannabis plants are fundamentaly the same you can top them all and train them all as long as your environment is good they will respond, I'm sure your la confidential would have been fine breeders just need something to say so they chat shit abot shit

The best is to do both really, top it then when it gets pretty big tie it down , thats what I like to do anyway...If these are autos I wouldn't do any of training...If not it just depends how long you wanna veg and how big of a bush you want to grow..I like to keep tieing it down and topping for like 6 months untill the trunk is as thick as my arm lol..just for fun..I usually have atleast one giant bush I am crafting sitting around. You do need the right strain thou and really nobody can tell you if its the right plant for it cause they probably have a different pheno, your enviroment is different..there is so many variables...even then its not something you can really predict..however, if the plant likes to bush out already then its the best kind..

Thanks for your advice. I agree you can get some nice bush out of tying down. With the la confidential the breeders said it didn't top well. I'm looking forward to trying topping and lst to see how it works for me. Height limits are the reason I can't just let it go.

I was laughing my ass off when I read that, but I was also thinkin WTH has this guy grown that roots that will grow out above the soil line. I've grown and seen alot of diff. shit but unless it was an oak tree or some shit I've really never seen roots that grow out of the ground.
