TH Seeds BUKU (fem), have you grown it??

I have read some things in another post that made it sound like BUKU should NOT be topped as the stress will cause it to hermie. The BUKU I have seen growing (with no topping) seems to be a single cola type plant without any side branching. Is this typical of BUKU or will it get branchy later on? The plant in question is only 5-6 weeks old vegging under flouros, 6-7 sets of leaves.

Has anyone grown this and have some experience that can shed some light on this?

I topped my BUKU and it grew fine and didnt not hermie one bit. I lost half of it though because my buds became to heavy and broke a main stem... Shit happens I guess.

Grew BUKU in 2010. Great strain. I FIM'd mine. It branched nicely and got very bushy. I gave a cutting to my buddy and he put it outdoors. It looked beautiful. No hermies and it was great smoke too!

Im growing buku, its about 3 weeks old, and its growing 12/12 from seed
Cool, you got any pics or anything peculiar that you have noticed with it? Any signs of hermie? I assume since you're going 12/12 from the start, that you won't be topping this plant, right?
