I've been reading a lot about topping to increase yield. Some people say it dosnt make the yield bigger and just spreads it out.
Do you guys top your plants that go outside? Have you noticed a significant increase in yield?

james,

I learned this the hard way, It's best to just let mother nature run her course.. The plants know what they are suppose to do, your job is to make sure they have enough food and water.. Do your job correctly and your plants will reward you come harvest time...

Got a email that said you tryied to PM me but my mail box was full
Dont freak out not that creepy
Creepy is the guy that lives down the road from me LOL
How did you know I lived down the road from you? :P

And I'm so down with this competition! Sign me up, where do I sign?! This will be my complete first grow so i'll be sure to take alot of pictures, so you're not alone hic! The hardest part for me will to be finding a bean that is of decent quality to sprout. But all is well, I do have rzza to work under so I suppose I have an upper hand. ;) And just for my understanding, a 1 oz shot glass is just your normal, garden variety shot glass correct? I can't wait!

I top during Veg to help keep my girls height under control
Its pretty hard to hide a 10' tall plant
It also helps when the winds come

What about for these shot glass plants, lets just say you threw a bean in a 1 oz shot glass with dirt, put it by the windowsill, or even under a florescent for a few days till it sprouts and can be topped. Do you top it? Would it even do anything because the plant is going to be small because the roots can only grow so far down? Or, would topping it do alot, and add some weight to the little guy because its going to be smaller. Does anyone know, or should it just be my experiment? :P

Mary it is good to hear your dad brought you up right. Seems like I got one less person that I have to Grow some sense in thanks to him!


Sometimes - hi ya, and oh so true about the power of the sun. It is so stong it can power houses and factories and hopefully towns someday. fuc them tinker toys they call hps. After a few months of running em I just want my sun back!

I am happy to see the new user names for sure. I knew you guys would come to your senses soon enough so you found us and we found you and now what are we going to do? We are going to take the woods over off course. And then michigan.lol

I do not know the ways of the shot glass but the magic 8-ball just said do not top the shot glass plant. I then asked the magic 8-ball why not and the 8-ball told me I could not ask another question until next thursday? So I am like "whatever" with my 8-ball today.

hey hic, has the magic 8 ball ever lied? just wonderin cause the one i had was just like the woman i was with at the time, a natural born liar. and wasnt givin it up till next thursday. so i was like "whatever" got rid of the 8 ball and got a new woman.. and things are right with my world now. :clap:
 
question.. I have a couple seedlings under some florescent tubes and cfls, about a week old. How soon can i see pre-flowers?
depending on the strain anywhere from 2 weeks for most autoflowers and months with some upper Sativas

I have my spot picked out and the new crop is waiting to hit the natural sun and so am I as I am WAAYYYYY over my allowed numbers ;-):joint:

Funny GD.

hammer - No my 8-ball will never lie to me. It saw what I did to it's brother for a little back talk. It would rather swallow that triangle in it's mouth and choke... then get caught lying to me.

JOC - always good to know a brother is going in with enough, and not too little.
