I Was Looking at Topping this Year

[heathaa]

i was wondering who has the chart so when the time comes i know where to cut at. i seen a diagram before thats kinda what im lookin for i cnat find it online for some reason

 

[timeismoney1]

Grow to 5-6 nodes chop right above the 2nd true node

 

[heathaa]

i just get nervous doing that cuz i never seen it done and im pretty sure i know where to cut but i dont see how the two fan leaves at the nodes turn into new branches

 

[timeismoney1]

What do you mean?

Just get a steril blade and just gently cut at above the 2nd true node. You can clone the cutting also

so i gotta ask for me and maybe the op.

what is considered a "true" node?

so i gotta ask for me and maybe the op.

what is considered a "true" node?

A node that will have a budside. The first set of single bladed leaves wont have one.

 

[dirrtyd]

A true node is the nodes after the cotyledons on the plant. Good Luck dirrtyd

 

[timeismoney1]

You should fim

 

[bud nugbong]

yea man its gravy, you know how 2 sets of leaves grow out of the crothches of branches? its like making those 2 become the main top, and while they are growing the bottom gets a huge boost of bushigrowth

thanks all
sorry for the jacking but say i fim my plant and i screw it up, the worst that will come of it is a top right?

also, kinda intrigued by cloning the top even though i dont have a cloning setup...

 

[heathaa]

well i see now what im lookin for. i was lookin for a better yeild this year cuz last year really didnt turn out as good as i wanted so im rethinkin my possibilities

 

[james42]

I topped mine above the second node and only got two tops. The bottom two started to take off just like the top node but after a few weeks its pretty obvious that there only gonna have two main colas.
It dosnt bother me because I got some good clones out of the deal but I'm not really sure why it turned out that way.

 

[Cali.Grown>408]

u can top whenever u want..i've seen people top 4-5ft tall plants..there is no "SUPPOSE TO" when topping..i like to top when there about 12inches or more and i usaully go 2 nodes down maybe 3

 

[james42]

From what I understand. The point of topping above the first couple nodes while there young is to get multiple main colas and topping later on in there life just makes for a shorter bushy plant with more bud sites but not necessarily more main colas.
Could be wrong though.

 

[Cali.Grown>408]

i top then LST to create more then 2-4 colas i get about 7-10 colas doing it the way i do

 

[james42]

Do the colas get as big when u have that many as they would if u only had two or four?

 

[Cali.Grown>408]

that just depends on the strain..u can always do a scrog after u top and train and get some fat ass colas
