I am a big fan of controlling the rate of growth through removing lower growth sites... I get 1 top and 7-8 side branches that top out just 2 inches below the main cola. buds are the same size whether on the main cola or the side branch.... I should put something together, thread.
Blah blah blah
There, fixed it for you.
That's some pretty good common sense. Some are going to be more vigorous, some less. The higher up you top a plant the bushier it becomes but also the "smaller the fruit".
Design and garden issues? I design and service gardens, greenhouses and rooms. I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say. All rooms are different, all growers are different but that doesn't mean you can't replicate someone else's results. Sad you have been duped by the misinformation spouted by these trolls and you fell for it. My suggestion to you is get off these sites, do some reading and learn from your mistakes, because following some of these guys on here only hurts a newb or anyone too lazy to do their own research.

says the guy hiding behind a new screenname. Funny thing is, it was your backassward ideas that gave you away. You are giving the term troll a whole new level.
I'm not even sure whose misinformation you are claiming that I am spewing, Sir Ganga.
If you are getting that much use then I see the work load would be a lot less for sure. Most of my growers have health issues and I really have never promoted soil due to my though on workloads...Maybe someone else would enjoy the process...Thanks for opening up my mind a little. I will research it a little more and put into my arsenal for the next patient...JASI understand that Jonny. That's a fair point. The nice part is that once you have the soil made, that's it. You can use it for 5, 10, 15+ runs .... and you can just stick another clone right in there and scratch in a couple cups of amendments and some ewc. No till, no heavy lifting, nothing. Just plain ole water. You can even pick up some blu-mats or make your own drip system to further reduce the labor.
I have a friend that rented a cement mixer when he made his soil, and that eliminated a lot of the "work" involved. One day of soil amending, and then it's cruise control after that. You have a roster of billions doing the work for you in your organic soil.
If I lived close by I'd even offer to give you a hand mixing your batch up for you. I actually enjoy it (I'm kind of weird).
I don't think...I know! Why would you think any differently? Can you only grow one species? You may think you know me but your way off (you wish you knew me). I have read this sirganga many posts and I see why you think its me...he is a real grower with real information with a real degree, that showed the world, your circle jerks friends for what they are...posers. Don't be another poser...think for yourself, do your own research and learn from your mistakes. This is what a true botanist does...JAS
If you think ANYONE is going to believe you aren't sir backasswards, you are even Dumber than your growing advise.
He has no growing advice. Check this nonsense out - https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/728616-heat-lumens-stress-plant.html#post9657066
yeh your right 8 colas or even 12 colas is easy to pull off with some extra veg time and pulling the side branches down to get all the colas level and evenly spaced
Hell yea! Do that shit.
I know you rather Tio answer, but if the nodes are not opposing each other the growth wont have the uniformity of a plant with opposing nodes. Doesn't mean it'll hurt your ladies. You just won't have 4 uniform colas. Hope I helped
Thanks for the response Dboi87. Yeah I know it wont be uniform, but I can bend and train them to be more level with each other if needed. Just trying to make sure they don`t mutate in a bad way or something crazy. I have never topped that low. seems like a good way to keep em shorter for slightly longer veg. Thanks again man.
It's not going to hurt anything. Topping doesn't stress the plant nor will it induce mutation or hermies. You've been reading too much into some of the bullshit buzzwords around here like LST.
