why would we want to stress our plants buy ripping a limb off when we could train our plants so that every branch gets the same light and becomes a cola.????
yeah but is it beneficial to the plant. im growing to smoke. so im looking for nice thick nugs. i want to get as much as i can obviously. does topping add to harvest?
Yes it does. When you top the plant it forces the growing of the lower branches and bushes out. Then you can train them to get more light. Topping is very beneficial as well as FIMMING.
no you just get more smaller buds that will mature faster than one main cola
same as bending over it just starts growing more tops with out the wait
yeah i agree go for lst rather than chopping cause you still get multi fat top buds.
I think you have topping mixed with something else sir. Topping is when you cut the new shoot growing between top most new fan leaves. It stresses your plant slightly but 1 cola turns into 2. Then you can top those shoots and get 4 colas. It usually isn't recommended to top a plant more then 2 or 3 times. Though some plants do respond well to 4-5 times and produce monster colas. All strains vary.
No, he's pretty correct. When you top a plant, the bottom branches will catch up to the top. Forms a much better canopy. And one cut doesn't mean it just produces two colas.. You can get a cola per shoot if they have adequate light each.

I have never heard that definition for topping.
