pruning and double stalking

hi there fellow growers!

i was just reading the "cropping" thread below
does anyone have a hard and fast rule of thumb on the best way to prune and double stalk.... then maybe double the 2 stalks.. so getting 4 top cola's

im growing in a wardrobe with a set of 125w envirolights...so i kinda want to get the max efficiency..

i think ive nailed the double stalking... after 4 or so sets of leaves when the new set is just about coming up, snip it just where the leaves meet the stalk, then set directly below will continue on like 2 stems...and i guess after another 4 sets of leaves or so snip them and you should have 4 main stems after a little while... havnt got that far yet..

thoughts???

yes this works. but it makes 4 small buds instead of one big one

and another envirolight light.... : )

sorry I couldn't resist.. those are great lights.. especially when used large groups..

: )

keep them as close to your foliage as possible.. this is KEY!!
