Yeah. Some people can be so nodey. I'll have a look.
Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

What exactly do you mean by making a clone from the cutting? Can you explain how to do this or give me a link to a thread that explains this process? I apologize if this was already asked somewhere earlier in the thread.
It is just a cutting that got rooted. Some people call this a clone.
check google...

Hi everyone, and Uncle Ben especially. I started a new grow room, and using an Ebb & Flow system. My first harvest cycle uses two 1000w lights. Under each light, 9 plants for 18 total.
I am doing a DIRECT COMPARISON for Uncle Ben's topping method (btw, your rice in a box sucks, but your growing tips have helped
). 9 plants were topped 4 days ago. 9 plants remain untopped. I'm putting 9 under one light, 9 under the other.
This will tell me if his method works, how well it works, and a DIRECT comparison of identical environments with only one variable, being topped or not. Reading is one thing, but nobody in his thread did a comparison over the last few YEARS of it being up, so here's mine instead.
It'll also allow me to show you pictures of an untopped plants colas and weight, and a topped plants colas and weight. No more speculation, no more drama, just "here it is".
The plants are still vegging for another 5 days probably, and then I'll switch them to flowering. Sorry I dont have results today, but when you read this post and its 65 days from now, there WILL be results! I update my grow journal every few days with pictures consistently and will do so throughout this experiment. I hope nobody views this as a thread hijack, the goal isnt to get people to watch my grow, the goal is to have photographic evidence of what happens when you try one new thing versus not at the same time.
Thanks everyone, and thank you especially, Uncle Ben.

Ms. Kitty, I would save the research for something else; Uncle Ben's topping method totally works. Just trying to save you some effort and more bud.Hi everyone, and Uncle Ben especially.

Plenty of it in S. Texas that's for sure.So where do I order this? How much is a case?

Lacey and Miss Kitty are pros, should be fun to watch their progress. Check 'em out.

I'm subb'd to both, started reading last night on those, and about 1/3 through Lacey's. Both are great reads. Thanks Lacey for keeping me up till 4 am.
I love to see someone with a goal of Proving techniques. The 2 I topped are looking good. 2 or 3 will get topped later today. A couple have alternating branching so I'm undecided on them (even after the true node).Now I wanna visit Texas

UB, I posted this picture in Subcools thread because it was Jack the Ripper, but I thought Id post them here as well. How rare in your experience is it for a plant to auto top itself?

Never heard of it unless due to disease or insect pressures.
Yeah, last time I seen BT was when he was chasing a bunch of junior leaguer types off his boat dock, hay fork in hand, joint hangin' out the corner of his mouth.
Nice job BT!

So, if let's say, you use the topping method to get 4 main colas, should you, after cutting above the 2nd inter-node, leave the plant to vegetate a while longer, or could you switch straight to flowering immediately or the next day for example? Thanks
