Hello all I have been looking at plant pictures deep into flowering and ready for harvest and I have found very few with 2 colas..meaning I dont think many of you (at least that post pics) top your plants? But im still a newbie so im just lookin for discussing about toppin

So please just post weather you top your plants plan to top, or never intent to top go on

So ill start it off by saying, i plan on topping my first single plant grow is 8 inches tall so pretty soon i hope

I topped4 out of my 8 plants and it seems the untopped plants are producing larger denser buds than the topped plants. Just my 2 cents

I also experienced smaller more airy cola's on topped plants, so I dont do it.

i have topped 4 plants and not topped two,

i agree that with proper veg time and lights topping CAN increase yield,, but with cfl's or small watt HPS.. topping will make less dense buds,,

i have some plants that are topped and massive , and others that look pathetic... maybe top some of ur plants and YOU be the judge...

i top some time 2 or 3 times and it just makes more top buds 4oomh 4oohps

none of what i say is true.

thanks for the input guys, i think im not gonna top unless i run out of room. however do you guys know if the top would make for a good clone? then i might consider it

yeah, top nodes are alright to use as a cutting.

lower cuttings have more rooting hormones in them, and less nitrogen (better for rooting, but if you are going to top anyways for height reasons, might as well try to root the top)

i allways top mine 2 or 3 times its how i was taught, they hardly ever get over 3 feet and i get 1 1/2 to 3 per plant

One of my plants was accidentally topped by one of my dogs. The plant was miraculously undamaged in any other way. You can see it in the front row, second from the right in the pic below. While all my plants are suffering a slight deficiency problem right now, you can see overall that the topped plant is the same height but with far less dense growth than the others. Still in veg stage, so can't compare buds yet but IMO this is evidence enough to not top unless you have space constraints.
