when you top or pinch your plant your colas will not be as big.. but you will have more buds. i personaly like the big long colas.

if the plant is topped the canopy stays a little more even, providing more light to all the buds, if a plant is not topped, you need atleast a 600 watt lightif not 1000, the top cola may be 24 inches long then add 10 inches for the light. The lower buds will be hurting.

Its a matter of preference.

The more you FIM or top, the more branches you will have and thus more budsites. This forces you to have to veg longer and more branches shade itself more, and its more work to harvest and manage and takes up more room.

tricky question need more info. do you have lots of room. growing in or out doors, cfl or hid? some strains grow bushy like christmas tree shape.

i have a good amount of space so i top and go bushy. also dont prune much.but thats just me.:leaf:

but i never top or fimed and when i lst them i get hundreds of branches and lots of bud sites i guess i lsted my first grow and got 7 main colas but the main stem was the bigest still the plant was 2 feet high and i never toped. and now i'm lsting and scroging the new batch and they are starting to bud with over 20 bud sites per plant but are these all main colas?
