Please refer to post #7 .. I didn't feel it was necessary to make a new thread. thanks

Hey guys. Currently my AK47 plants are growing bushier then all hell. They're about 2 feet tall and have branches coming from every direction. The bottom branches are finally growing up the sides of the plants toward the light and look great.

But, my main goal for my first time grow is to get one huge ass cola!!

I havn't topped, fimmed, or pruned anything from this plant, and I was wondering how to achieve one big ass cola at the top...or will my plant do this by itself?

Maybe some pictures will help.

You have to cut all the branches off. Its is kind of a waste now cuz you have big side branches. Usually you just keep cutting them off when they are small. Maybe you could make clones.

Couldnt I just mark where the top of my plant is, and start cutting all smaller branches off as the thing grows vertically?

What a cute dog

Hank.

You have to cut all the branches off. The energy of the plant will then go all to the main cola and you have lollipoped your plant. Its best cus you will get a fatty top nug and no small popcorn nuggs

Thanks Edux, thanks Hank. +rep both of u.


also, Edux, I don't think im going to do this because of how well its veg growth is going i dont want to ruin anything. But, those side branches that are growing out and up toward the top of my plant, will those turn into nice big colas??

will the top of my plant still be a nice big cola regardless of the side branches?

Basically I want big fat nugs not a bunch of popcorn nugs like you explained.

Thanks for the help guys

I did some reading, and I came to the conclusion I dont want to lollipop my plant, but rather receive a very large top cola!

How do I achieve this?

Cut off the bottom one third of the plant then. You should have just been cutting the branchs as they grew and not let them bet all big cuz that is a waste of energy but oh well. You can still cut them and get one fatty top cola. Leave any parts that look like they will combine into the main top.
