does topping increase yield decrease yield or keep it pretty much the same???

depends on the plant..
some strains respond to topping better than others

Always heard that topping although splits into 2 seperate growth when done correctly for the most part shocks the plant and is stunted until its recovered, practice LST(low stress training) where you tie the stem down multiple times minipulating how it grows another practice is something called SCROG as I am not familiar with this, read the growfaq for these techniques or tag search

If I only have a few females and I have room under my lamp, I always top my plants.

Im currently wanting to try tying the plant down, Is this suppose to be done from the Veg. Stage until harvest any more insight on that?

lol

i have 2 bella donna 3 paki valley and 2 afghan kush at about 46 days and they were topped about 2 weeks ago and over the past 4 days ive trimmed/topped all the node beneath the tops, and so far theyve responded well dont really seem stunted, eh maybe the paki valley is a little behind but if you check my journal the plants had just been topped they had 5 TRUE SETS of leaves befor i topped them and 7 TOTAL SETS of leaves(2 sets were 3 leaves)

well when i topped my plant it actually stopped growing up and hasnt grew upwards since i topped it like 3 weeks ago(like 10 days into flowering) so all that time it would have been growing upwards is not put into growing upwards but put into the growth of the buds so yeah i think topping at the right time yeilds more in the end ...but like master cheif said some strains respond to it better than others

hey y'all,
new grower here, currently have some Durban Poison in the ground, is there a right up or a 'how-to' about topping? its still new to me. can anyone explain briefly how its done, the benefits?

when the plant is at the desired heighth you take a sharp pair of sterlized scissors and just cut the top right above the last node(set of branches) below the new growth....if done at the right time it will yeild much more than just letting the plant grow up cause like i have mentioned before it takes the effort out of growing in that area and puts the energy into the buds.

and for furture refrence not to be an asshole or anything but dont hijack peoples threads in RIU thats a no no and some will go to the extent to rip you a new asshole

hope this helped you out
