Hmm interested how much you get from that... I know Serious Seeds says specifically not to top this plant, any reason you chose to?

"Improved in 2000. This is one of the larger yielding varieties, this medium height, not too dense plant is the perfect combination of good yield and excellent quality. Smokers that know and grow choose this plant for its combination of appearance and sweet smell. Grows a single huge central bud with few side branches. This strain does not respond well to topping. Mild, sweet smell develops while flowering, take care to dry thoroughly after harvest to maintain this subtle fragrance."

I was well aware of the breeders recommendations but I was topping the rest of my grow and read a thread were a grower had amazing results with a topped Chronic.
I was hoping it would turn out like the plant below from uncle ben but it needs to put on some serious more weight to even come close - wish i didnt now and mine looked like sniffer's chronic

I honestly think the chronic just can't support that much weight on several colas.

Mine's in a 5 Gal. bag, and it's fucking huge!! If I topped that thing, it wouldn't be able to hold it's weight (and it doesn't even have huge budsites yet). 29" from the base and the side shoots are about 14"-22" each, so it's got a shit ton of weight already.

Certain strains can handle things differently i suppose, cause my warlock is thriving off the top! shit smells like the most beautiful sweet skunk!

I really hope I get to a stage were im worried about my colas holding up the buds cause that will mean Ill have some serious buds come harvest. I could always support the plant if those buds swell like i hope they do.

The only reason they said not to top the Chronic is because it is fairly slow in veg. It will grow just fine topped, it will just take a little longer to get to a size that is ready to flower.

My rocklock probably turn hermie because of stress. I had just finished transplanting it into a 3 gallon pot and was doing something else and knocked it over. I put all the soil back in the pot and it looked sad for a week and started to stretch. I think the rocklock are prone to hermie if you stress it.

My rocklock was male. Not hermie, it was only male. It was the only seed out of 20 plants in my grow space that was male (or hermie), no plants were stressed in any way. I think they gave me a regular seed, not feminized because I was baffled. I got rid of it asap. All other plants are doing just fine.
