which one is which? i learned that you leave four branches for buds and can get over 3 ounces from that. i just did it and looks promising!

what the hell are you wanting. do what the link says. the end. nothing more will give you more. who can argue with 10oz from one plant

i dont see why you cant top the plant then supper crop it..
You can top it and then super-crop the new growth, if you want. That would sure beat topping twice. It's all personal preference: LST, Top, Fimm, Super-cropping, scrog; these all seek to achieve the same outcome, a more even canopy.

It's not so much about yield; it's more about growing the plant within you lights penetration capabilities .

Topping under 1000w lights may or may not produce more than growing out one main cola, but if you're using 400w you're probably better off keeping the canopy under 3' tall.

last post was nicee. thanks! and swamp, i dont really care for topping if i can just super crop and get the same yield.. now if i can supper crop and top at the same time, then thats more of the information im lookin foor. i understand how to top and what it does, kind. im just trying to see if im able to do both..

I'm not really sure why you would want to top after super cropping.. As I stated earlier, super cropping is an advanced version of topping.

I highly suggest you actually read the Uncle Bens topping thread that was posted in an earlier message as it will blow you away and answer any and all questions you have.
