SCROG Without Topping

I normally top at around the 4th node, let them grow a bit & top all those again.
This allows the lower shoots to make it to the screen giving you many more buds.
Is there much difference with this and UB's topping method? Why was his topping thread locked BTW?

Unknown - I've been growing for quite some time now & that's just what's worked well for me - as far as his thread I have no idea, wasn't me.
I'd never lock a good growing thread unless it devolved into name calling etc...

topping them early is best but it still can be done by pulling the main growing tip down below the next set of nodes,or can supercrop by pinching and bending the main grow tip.i usually only top once around 4th or 5th node then it's all in the training.Different strains do better as well in the net i usually like to do hybrids .

Look to be lacking in N, just a guess not knowing the specifics of the op.
Yes not sure why this strain grows like this. I think I have grown this strain 4 or 5 time now and it looks the same every time. But by week 3 or 4 in to flowering it comes good im not sure why. I have grown a lot of different strains and never seen it before in any of them

Just to add my 2 penny's the nitrogen def. could be caused by overwatering,I say this because your plants all seem to be limp.In soil a dry cycle is very important to nutrient uptake.
