Topping a second time

OldSoul777 said:

I see now but dont they grow out with more vigor if i topped them? I thought topping forces the auxins to the lower branches to increase growth. I want my plant to fill out vs up

Yes they'll grow faster.

Thanks for the clarification!

This is 3 plants, all 3 double topped. Without doing any other training (yesterday I had to tie a couple to a stake to keep the buds from falling over) the cannopy almost evens out on its own.

That looks awesome man! Look what this guy did with a single plant and filled an entire 4x4 grow area. Watch this!

Yeah, that is a combination of different training techniques. While it can be very beneficial to the yield, I dont like just growing one single plant. I love the variety growing offers. I have day time smoke, afternoon smoke, and knock me out night time smoke. I grow combinations of sativas and indicas, fems and regs, etc. I generally go with 4 at a time but ended up with 2 of 3 males of one strain when I was hoping for 2 of 3 females.

I see. Yea mine are all super skunk. On the other side of my tent I have a variety going. I prefer indicas more for the medicinal benefits. I have a diminished appetite and fight nausea on a daily basis. I have been to the doctor and have had whole a whole GI scan done and everything was normal. Weed is the only thing that gets rid of the nausea beside an expensive med called zofran which is not normally used on a regular basis. If I didn't smoke I would prob be suffering from male nourishment! I have to force down ensure drinks if I dont smoke just to get some sustenance in me. I know sounds wacked!
