Cut lower branches, get bigger top colas?

I am going to use a similar set up to Al B. Fucts (no longer here I think) system. He says that if you cut the lower 1/3 of branches off your plants (the ones that produce smaller buds) then the mainstem where the big buds are formed will produce more cuz the plant will take its focus of energy into only producing those buds...look and see if you don't get it https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks-3.html does anyone at all have any proof or experence with this? Would be a great help, thanks. GOT MY SEEDS TODAY! Dr Chronic (only 6 buisness days) not to take away from Nirvana cuz they do pay for this amazing site. And they are one of the most influential bands of this era. :blsmoke:

It works, I have some mango plants in my gallery that I trimmed in such a way right before flowering

topping leaves you with a completely different plant structure. The "one cola" method is also known as Sea of Green. It's a kickass way to grow in small spaces and basically ensures you a steady stream of bud. If done right, you can set yourself up with a new harvest every few weeks.

Yes my man, it's called "lollypopping"
Plants are programed to produce a certain amout of flower. It is our goal to bring out the full potential of that pre-destined yield.
If you grew a plant that has the potential of 1 oz.(for #'s sake) do you want the 1 oz. to be condenced into 5 big buds or distributed in 50 small ones?

word, but it helps to have a strain that tends to grow in one stalk, like "Chronic" or "AK-47".

Right on Boss thx a lot, I now have a new found confidence in this method. I think I picked the wrong strian though, I got big bang and I heard it pretty bushy so we will see.
