Re-topping???

anybody ever retop thir plant to get more tops? when should it be done and exactly how is it done? links would b nice thanx

About a week apart for me, maybe 10 days the most. Cut off the least amount of top you can while making sure to get that entire node

I like to top a few times and I LST as well. The process for the multi-top is the same exact process of the first topping.

my bad but whats LST? thats the 3rd time i saw that

Low Stress Training. You can tie branches down, you can tie the main stem down, you can just tape branches to the side of your pot for a few days then let them up. Many many ways to do it, just anything that doesn't break/cut/harm the plant is LST.

low stress training its almost like scrog if u know what that is inste4d of a screen ur tieing each branch down allowing for each node to get more light turning each node and new growth from that node to become a branching growth. and as far as retoping i usually go for one node after were i cut it the first time somtimes ill do two i guess it just depends on how tight of a cluster u want of main branches

goodlook skunk. i topped monday so i should retop round nex tuesday. LST is like bending basicly?

Yup, there are lots of ways to do it. I like to use bamboo skewers. Like this...

COOL i used bread ties n string before but that looks pretty low key. the string got in the way of watering

paper clips and loose fittin zip ties or tieing them to the rim of ur pot

Yeah, came to me in a dream one night. Seriously in a dream. Like Ed Rosenthal says "Marijuana is not addicting. But growing it is."

I did not want strings and shit all over the place and this way there is nothing attatched to plant to cause any damage.

I've been practicing super cropping on cut lower branches, now I have that "feel" for it would anyone suggest combining super cropping with LST, too much stress?

Cannabis is a very resilient plant and can survive just about anything. However, all that stress may become an issue causing all kinds of shit. I am sure people do it though. If you have multiple plants give it a try on 1 and see how it goes. Just my .02

And please next time start your own thread...thread jacking is a no no. Peace!

I do appreciate the advice and will take it into consideration if the future, but fail to see how I was "thread jacking", I simply asked a relevant question related to this thread, Others reading this thread could benefit from your educated answer I hope we're chill!!! If you are the type that argues via forums you will have the last word Peace

No worries, I am no troll! LOL! Did not mean to be offensive. Just trying to give you a heads up as a warning to protect you from the trolls that are unfortunately on this forum. Your question was indeed relevant and deserved an answer but had little to with the OP. And you can get more answers by starting your own thread.
