Thats what i figured, thanks. My room is 9ft tall so not really worried about height issues, just tryin to up the yield as usual. So far with this grow all i've do is take some clones and trim a little down low. I tell you what these are some pretty girls. My last grow i did the lst thing to the side of the bucket, bending all the stuff looking for light down. It worked out so so but i wasnt all that impressed so i just let these girls go by themselves. Sometimes less is more huh? Hey when is the "ideal" time to top?

Please read the thread. Good luck with your faves!

when pruning this is often the case

is it ever too late for this ( i know you dont wantto cut donw to the second node when it 4 feet tall) my clones are at about the 5-6 node, but i just trans planted themto a hydro set up from under cfl's light. I dont want to addany more stress but surely want more bud. Ifi waited aweek til they're established in there new home would it be OK? thanks UB

If you chop a ton off it may take the plant a bit longer to reorient itself, but if taken care of it will have some serious vigor potential..
I don't know if there is an absolute line you shouldn't cross, but I've seen 4' outdoor plants get taken down that far and still come back bushier..
Coolest thing I've ever seen along those lines was a few plants that got rabbited early season, toppled and were laying on wet ground.. The grower was an old hippy man who never interfered with nature, so he let them go, and broken shoots rooted into the ground so the main stalks had multple root systems, and secondary branches grew upward like LST.. He figures that gave him more yield than just letting them grow to the sky.. (He doesn't dig, top, water, fertilize, anything.. He just picks a good spot and sticks seeds in the ground..)

Just thought I'd add this: GreenX How to's... How to Top (w/pics)

Topping can produce some pretty kick ass results when you know what you're doing!

It'll be OK, most likely, but you may or may not get the results that I've laid out.

Have fun,

Off topic, but loads of fun. Load this page and use the slider at the bottom, moving it to the right. Continue to the end or as much in the trip as you want to go. You'll need broadband, or if dial-up, it's time to hit the "go" bottom, head for the kitchen and make some majic cookies.
