Dumbass here.
Could you explain this too me? Cotyledons is like your first little set of seed leafs right? So go up two nodes above that? Thanks.

why the second true node? i am thinking about doing it at the third? is that ok? wats the rationale? because it will support the weight the lignin later will make the stem pretty sturdy at the bottom...

Do i really HAVE to wait until the 5th and 6th nodes are grown out to cut it? cant i just cut it now when tis on the 4th node? i dont want it to waste energy.... or does it need the time to build up starch storage or something? also is it better to clip the top off at night or in the morning when all the starch has been depleted over night?

read through the thread. these questions have been answered several times.
growing it out gives it time to recover from topping in days instead of weeks.

cut at night or in the morning? which is better? im guessing night so the open cut does not suck moisture out of the plant?

night or morning cutting time is best?

Ive done it both ways. Didn't see any difference either way myself.

Scratch my previous post, just did it on one of my healthier ones, it was at the perfect stage..topped for 4 main colas.
Now, a question, may have been answered before, read through the first 15 or so pages only..
Is it possible to replant the stuff you cut off? I feel kinda bad having a stem with nice-looking leaves going to waste now..
Thanks.

Yep. You can use the cut off top as a clone.

any reason why this technique wouldn't work with autoflowers? I read first 10 pages so if this has been answered please forgive me. This thread is too long to read.

Auto clones will be same age as mom and flower at same time.

I dont think your text is large or bold enough to read. Could you up it some more?
Yes, he does use Alfalfa in his soil mixture, as do I. You should either grind the pellets up, or soak it in water for awhile so the coating that holds them together dissolves.
I think he uses 1 cup per ten gallons of soil or so, but OhsoGreen uses 1 cup per gallon of soil. Huge difference, but Id probably err on the smaller dose.

Yes, you are indeed the man Uncle Ben. Used the topping technique, and sure enough 4 main colas were formed on every plant every single time, it's foolproof!
