More branched more bud or in a single stem one cola better?

trying all kinds of things i wanna see whats the better yield trial and error i guess. more main colas the better unless if its just one its a monster i dunno

 

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.

 

i l,s,t my bitches so far with lots 'o' branches and no toping with nice long buds i just wanted to know if a sog was better. so far i lsted them and scroged them and loved both. i just wanted to know if something else was better

 

can u pinch the main cola to make it football sized ?

 

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.

 

here she is again..

 

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?
