Thanks UB for a GREAT thread, actually found you in another thread.
Cut these early today, did I make the right cut? Sure hope so!

Plasma is the best I've seen so far, so now I'm even more interested. I do detailed grow journals especially since I'm trying some breeding. PM me if I can help. I'm in MT and a Caregiver.

615 views to go, I guess I should have said Valentine's Day instead of 4/20.

You'll hit 350k by then.

hey uncle ben or anyone else, this technique looks awesome but is there a post in this thread that has more descriptive information on making the cut. For example, a pic or pictures of the plant before the cut is made?

Hi Uncle Ben!

I am sorry to bother you, but just a couple questions if you don't mind. If you don't respond i totally understand.

To the point:

I am a relatively new grower, and I do not feel as if i am maximizing my potential. I have a 1000W MH/HPS inside of a tent, and I really want to hone in my skills before i go any larger, which i plan to when i move. I am trying to figure out whether or not topping is my best option, i have yet to do so, but i do plan on trying my next grow.

I am sticking with Chocolope strain, as I love to smoke it and let's be honest it get's me extremely high. (Side note, i am a cancer patient with CA prop 215 license). I am just looking for some suggestions

My grow room is 5x5 with about 6 feet of clearence height wise, soon i will be moving into a room.

This next round I would really like to try to topping technique you illustrated in your thread. Just a quick question, once i top, how high should i let the plant grow before switching to flowering? Also about how long do you think it will take for the plant to re-grow to an acceptable height at which point i would switch it to flower? Also How many plants do you think would be the best option to use under the 1000W?

Just a bit of help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Uncle Ben. Have a good one, and happy growing.

I also have a 5X5 tent with a 600 MH/HPS I fit 9 plants in mine but it was a squeeze. I veged an extra month after using UB's topping technique although it is not neccessary. It just depends on how tall you want your plants to get. I still probably had a good 2 or 3 feet of space for my plants to grow by the time it was harvest time. Hope this helps.
