Here ya go. Trolls eventually ruined it but you should be able to get some good info out of it anyway.

I have 6 clones that all have alternating nodes. I read the answer you gave above and was wondering if you could clarify a bit? I understand I will net get the 2 or 4 cola thing going on. My guess is that a combination of 1 or more of the 'new highest' branches would be the main(s) cola(s)? Does that make sense? Is that right?uncle ben said:You can't. Nodes must be opposing for the double output thingie. If your nodes are alternating, you won't get the effect as the top node (leafset) will be at a point on the plant that has the greatest collection of auxins, the newest, highest tissue. Auxins control a plant's growing dynamics. When you pinch out the tip of a plant that is in a veg stage (has opposing nodes/leafsets) then basically the plant splits the auxins and sends them to the 2 dormant buds located at the axis of where the leaf petiole attaches to the "trunk". Viola, you get simultaneous output, two new leafsets.regionaldragon said:What if you have alternating nodes instead of pairs of nodes, where do you top?
nevermind.. didn't see thisyes jay if you pinch of the little bit of new growth at the very top, it'll start bushing off... the only reason to wait longer is if you want a topping that is big enough to use as a clone...
Ok, so i understand both, so if i have a plant with 12 branches, and double fim each branch and the top, will have i really have 38(including the very top) arms a growing?

It's not a math problem they are plants. If you do what you are talking about you will end up with around 38 branches... are you going to count them all? It might be 36 or even 40. And they aren't all going to be exactly the same or anything. If you top/ fim your plant it will branch more, want more branching, cut more... want less, cut less. It's not exact, but it is simple.anyone? bueller.....bueller.....bueller????
