My other plants are obvious but this one i cant decide where to cut it for 4 colas? I guess its right where the "trunk" is that fatest in this picture. That would leave 2 nodes below the cut. I thought that maybe that bottom node NEAR the cotyledons didn't count. And that it would only produce "suckers" like the ones I questioned you about. Sorry, you had to refer to page 1 for me. How embarrassing.
