Did you read the first page? Come on man. Nice first post.
after that great welcome i feel the need to explain q. the plants in pics when topped had no buds. was wondering if there was a cut off point when topping can no longer be done. which i did not see an answer for so i ask "is there a point when you cant/shouldnt top a plant?" sorry im a noob....but werent we all?

there is not! im mean you shouldent do it to far into flower is the best way to explain the point of topping is so it spits in two < -> as long as it is still growing (veg or flower) it will make two tops but while you still can its not a good idea to top 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.ect int flower then your just cuttin off buds it will still top but whats really the point that far into flower and so close to the end of its life! but to answer your Q" "NO" & "YES"

Hi all, UB, they say the only dumb ? is the one unasked and I hate to sound like the noob I am but what exactly is a "node"? Do i count them from bottom to top? Top to bottom? I've been lurking for a while now, waiting, planning...I'm about to take my first steps so i just wanted to get this clear for my sake...

A node is a division , a growth that grows from the main shoot, where a new growth is forming out... Google it,,, Google has spent over a billion dollars with a great search engine.. damn, here you go,, easy search on google. plant node!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

man if he wanted attitude he'd have gone to another site. wouldnt it have been easier to just answer the question? regardless of how many times its been asked? unsubscribe to poosts if your tired of the questions man. does trying to rag on this guy for trying to learn something new make you feel better about yourself? some of the people on this site are total douchebags. not all of us know this shit. its very very nerve racking.
so yeah i dont mind ill point you in the right direction.
Ok Ima Noob I know this....And u don't have to hold my hand....i've actually done the research shit for brains and there nothing on here or GC about counting nodes or where to start...People like u should self medicate before getting on RIU cause u have issues....i aked for a answer to my ? not a arrogantly pompus attitude. Don't make urself seems like a prick, ur prob a cool guy/girl. Next time u see a post and ur not answer do us all a FAVOR n SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
