    Question Does topping your plants mean bigger yield?

    Ok so im pretty new to growing but i feel i know alot (well quite alot)

    topping affects different strains differently and the different pheno's of that strain differently, it will increase yeild for some but not others and it depends what kind of lighting you have, sometime topping is more efficient . It doesnt instantly make plants yeild more, that not true AT ALL, theres way more variables in yeild and remember that you will stress the plants while topping and the side buds wont necesessarily be as big as that top cola would have been. Toppings for shaping the plant into a more efficent shape for the lights that you have, it will make it more bushy and wider so lights such as cfl's will penetrate better.

    if you went to the store with x amount to spend and wanted to buy say ice cream would you get more if you bought 2 1/2 tints or if you bought one pint you deff have more packaging a plant only has x to spend and can spend it on one bud or two genetically you feel me

    I am a indoor grower and I top every strain I grow between 18 to 24 inches especialy saltiva. I get the best results topping just once

    Seems to me if the lights are mostly overhead then a christmas tree shape would optimize light exposure to the buds, provided you have a strong enough light. You get growth in three dimensions if that makes any sense. Takes more space of course.

    more bud sites can lead to less bud over all. not on all strains i do not top my plants. in fact i dont use any cuttings that have lost the primary growth tip either. alot of plants can get rather lanky after topping as the branches start competing with each other
