I did not top. The plant started growing sideways following the sun and it branched out from the side causing CRAZY tops.

its kind alike an LST but the plant did it lol
topping gives better yields on certain strains, it hurts yields on others

It depends on a few things. Single cola plants are gonna have a fatter cola, but I don't thing a 2 top plants colas have to be smaller than a 4 or10 top colas.
Has to do with strain, and veg time. If you have a lot of tops, but give enough veg time they can stil be big, the main stems cola always seems to be the biggest bud even when topped and trained.

I like bushes, I made bushes by pulling the top cola down into the bush and its tied up and the branches from the main cola are now colas....here is a video of my plants, all the tops are tied down into plant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_uQ05PK2P0

I've always topped all of mine but for hydro I don't... I like bushes too deff since I can't grow legally so my squatter plants stay low key and under the radar... Plus I plant by trees that stay green year round... I guess you could say I'm on the fence between one main cola or multiple colas... To each their own!

ok this is the deal, if you plant to do an SOG of SCROG you want to maximize your canopy, by topping and lsting you maximize the canopy so you can use your light more efficiently, in certain situations this means bigger yields for your light, now if you have plenty of light and space to spread your plants out, then yes it is pointless, that is all
basic logic

Yes that is a total of 5 plants, each one in its own 100g smart pot.
