There is no technology involved in growing a weed, that's my point.

Yo Uncle Ben, since the topic of seedling care has come up, whats your take on rubbing stems for strength?? I haven't done that many from seed, and I rubbed them all because that seemed to be a popular trick on OG, so I have no idea whether it helped or not..

Edit: And on that last question, I meant what were you using for lights?? Street lights?? (I know you could buy them, because my grand parents had them..)

hey man check this out.. i have 10 plants i topped 3 like your directions. those thre are very bushy but no buds, the other 7 are 2-3 ft tall full nice buds. they are 12/12 now for 5 weeks. they had 1 week in floro.at 24/7.. the rest 1000hps. soil.. why do the 3 plants i have topped have 0 buds.. no balls . they have hairs, very weird. will they still be good for hash??

That I've never seen or heard of..

What happens if I pinch off my plant after the third node? How many colas will I get?

in those pictures in the OP, u just straight up cut off below the node? i thought u leave like 20% growth, but if u can just cut the whole thing off below the node it would be way easier.

Thats FIMing.. M Blaze just started a similar thread on that.. Similar concept (well exactly the same hormonally), but that method attempts to get the new outputs before any nodal separation of the new growth.. The nice thing about topping is it lets you roll back the clock on the height issue.. Shorter plants are typically stouter plants given similar root systems..

I've got better things to do with my hands. If your attempt is to bruise/crush the epidermal tissue hoping it will callous over, well I guess it might. Then again it might not. Hoo nose?

I was using 400W MH in a Sunmaster hood and a 600 HPS in a retrofitted Diamond lights hood. I retrofitted the gull wing insert with specular material. Built my own ballast too using the electronic guts housed in an electrical junction box.

Something's missing here. Your topping should have no effect on bud production. Were the 3 you topped of different genetics?

my plkant is already two feet tall and about a foot wide, i have not cut my plant at all, but its cool how you made it have four huge buds, is it too late to cut the top out of mine or is it too late, it has white hairs and some red and i grow it outside in a pot in the back yard???????I'm new at this any help would be appreciaated thanks

yes. they were bagseed.. really weird. they r 2 ft very bushy and healthy , but no bud. could be sum mutant strain? i was wondering if they could still be made into hash
