don't be scared Mo
your choice ofcourse, and Jin has controlled his method very well, my method is less work in a way, and more bushy = more branches = more top quality heads
instead of stretching small bottom branches, you multiply top fast growing branches, it evens things out in my opinion, i would soooo love to see someone else do a topping like me!!! and what 4-5 days stunting out of 50+ ?? and if you've never tried it, gives you a good basis for comparison
i think anything to help a sativa get bushy is a good thing, whatever you choose, i'll be watching!! the trunk does look very sturdy.....topping would be a pinch
get it
