Yeah, it's me. A big Texas howdy to ya! Got a question, did rosso reefo ever start/finish the beans I sent him? I sent him some pure sativas like Zamal.
Depends on the final profile you wish. If you top above the 2nd true node, you'll get 4 main colas like this.
I believe for topping you cut flat across. The 45 degree angle has something to do with having more surface for roots to grow, and allows more oxygen to travel thru the plant or something of the sort... lol, i'm not positive, just heard that thru the 'Grape vine'.
Congrats on your gardening for 10 years and accomplishments. I would assume then that you also have over 10 years of reading experience. I must not be as experienced a reader as you because I missed the part where you showed me that mogie claimed to invent this technique. Would you so kindly show me again in a very simple manner?
I have been teaching in cannabis forums for 10 years. Actual gardening experience with every type of plant material is about 40 years - fruit and nut trees, carnivorous plants, wine grapes, orchids, turf, roses, veggies, flowers, etc. and of course, pot. Growing sativas indoors is my specialty, like Dalat, Zamal, or O. Haze. I like challenges.
Mogie stripped the sign-off, and that speaks volumes. It's not the first time folks have tried to pass off one of my drafts as their own. Check this shit out: The never ending abuse of Phosphorous to enhance flowering - Grasscity.com Forums
No, you wouldn't get it anyway since you're defending her tawdry practices. Now, did she give credit where credit is due when the high fives hit the air? Hell no she didn't.
Since reading comprehension seems to come hard for you I'll say it again, experimenting with a copper pruning paint has never been tried on cannabis. Certain plants react differently to certain products, doncha know?
She claimed to infer it was her doing with her behavior. Quite simple really, at least that's how most took it. She took my thread, word for word, photo by photo, a drill that took me alot of time to put together, stripped my signoff which suggests that it was her garden. Lot's of folks took it that way, reason why I quoted them in my previous post. What do you need to be convinced of her motives, something in black and white from her saying, "Hope you like my garden experiment"? No, she takes the easy way out posting someone else's work and then running off knowing damn good and well she didn't have the experience to answer any questions that might pop up.
But you continue to reply.
Depends on the application, but I agree, they are not new. There is very little "new" except to the uninformed noob. Every new crop of noobs ask the same ole questions. You can't reinvent botany, and that's what it is all about, that and industry mired in greed.
Guess I didn't like the way you "introduced yourself" in your first response to me. IOW, I didn't like your tone, so you got my undivided attention, which you really don't want to do.

Treat me with respect and you'll get the same in return.
ok cheers mate, at the top although new 9 tip leaves are forming, so id rather wait until the next node comes up and give it a try, hope i dont fk things up... but this guide was very helpful so i shouldnt have any problems... thanks again
One or two such acts of leaf removal won't stress the plant this early in the game. The plant will replace what you've removed with output in other areas. What you don't want to do is remove stems/leaves later in the plant's cycle, keeping in mind that the more the foliage a plant retains up to harvest, the more its production of bud.
Then you'll get foliar output from the area where the leaf petioles are attached to the main stem, below the cut. Dormant buds are located in that axis.
Why was it "bad"? Do you figure you don't have enough height/bulk for good bud production yet? When you do something with your plants, what are you hoping to achieve? I don't do fimming, to me it's just another cannabis forum trick without any degree of reliability regarding the plant's reaction, but when you do it, you need to cut about halfway thru a node. Find out before hand why you're doing what you're doing..... in a botanical sense. Supposedly this induces dormant buds located there to break giving you a more bushy plant. You can do the same thing but with a higher degree of reliability by topping a couple of times. BTW, the plagarisized "instruction" posted on page one by Mogie regarding topping and fimming is just plain wrong. One needs to understand plant reactions, and the info given is erroneous.
