Bud mass (production) is dependent on the amount of (healthy) foliage mass.

No. Please review this thread.

Good luck,

Not even at the 5th or 6th node. Its the second node Im pretty sure.

UB. There are some clones Ive taken, and the nodes seems to have died off. The fan leaf there dried out, turned yellow, and was easily taken off. Do these still count as a full node? Or should I not count them when I want to top?

No they don't count if the node dried up, doesn't have a thing to do with you losing the fan leaf at that node.

Good luck,

""""Yeah, but you'll get small colas and not necessarily dominant ones, just bushy as hell. Your typical main cola on the typical plant is the dominant branch or leader, just as a dominant leader (trunk) on a pecan or oak tree would be. Top (pinch out the top of that leader) and you have just redistributed the ho moans to points (dormant foliar buds) below the cut, which makes for multiple leaders.""""

how about for outdoor plants, whats the maximum colas possible? will they be large or small colas? outside the root mass could be as large as it could be so lets say 16 colas could be made? or how would you trim and top the plant to make it produce lots?

As I said, depends on where you top and how the plant responds. You will get two foliar outputs from the node below the cut. Just do the math. A plant with many colas will put out small colas. 1, 2, or 4 colas on a finished plant will be large - your call.

I top indoors or out and have almost 100% certainity of how the plant will respond. Below are a series of photos showing an outdoor plant topped from start to finish, which gave me 4 large (sativa geno) colas. The first two shots are shortly after topping clearly showing the output at the node axis', the third was a side shot of the 4 main colas hanging to dry, the fourth was a field shot taken about 2 months prior to chop and the last shot is a close up of the (sativa structured) bud. The 5 gallon pot was treated with Griffin's Spin-out paint, a copper based root tip terminator, pot was sunk about 3" into the dirt. What I hoped would happen didn't, the Griffin's was too dominant - I wanted the roots to explore the native soil out of the drainholes which would have increased my production even more. As it was, I got quite a bit of pot out of this one.

Good luck,
UB

This is a better shot of the 4 main colas hanging to cure, sans the smaller side branches which I cured laying 'em out on hardware cloth. These colas were so heavy (and long) that they laid the plant over until I could stake it up. Of course sativa trunks/stems aren't very strong to begin with. I should have used a large tomato cage.
