That's cool Robert , you know what your doing, my only problem is some strains will produce two buds the same weight as the main cola would have been so you get double, but, some strains do not react that way, all that happens is you end up with two colas yes but the weight is split between the two.
I know not why , i wish i did.

Yep you are absolutely right, all depends on your strain...i usually do one topped and one not to determine its capabilities, only way to find out for sure, soon as i get into my new place i'll be setting up my new grow room with 6 strains...i do this with every strain i grow usually

I have used their crystal burst and one or two of their base nutes. i like them just didnt have time to really experiment. i plan on usuing different nutes on different crops. ya know rotate it to see the results just got to expan first. Baby steps lol.

using AN's jungle juice with pretty good results so far. first time using advance nutrients but i think i like their stuff
- Thats suppose to be just as good as what im running i hear. Read up on it on the site few weeks ago.

What is ph perfect op ?
What was worth 500 bucks ?
Thanks. . .
- The PH perfect is a new line they came out w/ this past summer where the nutes; if used to propper feeding charts would even out the PH of your water no meter needed. used it and does what it says and i suffer no nute burn. (and man do i know about nute burn smh) but now feed my plans is clock work and i use no irrigation system though im thinking about it.
* Im just as lost on this 500 bucks thing

- Agreed as well. i believe this is a situational move.

It possible for a majority of plants I've ever seen but it takes more technique and involvement then just topping. Keep the colas equal in height and off of the same original node on the plant. Make sure you train so one is not shading the other. I do this with 8 heads and get 4 zips off of a 36 inch plant. You just need to understand how the plant works when it comes to hormone distribution once you've taken that main top off. Anything taller then the rest of the branches will receive the most energy and hormones. I'd say for anyone interested go check out the main-lining thread. If not to each his own and good luck OP.

What you say is true , and i have covered it with experiments,
But is does not explain why different strains perform differently,
Some plants you can't change the amount its going to produce you can only grow your plant to a desired size and distribute it around.
I assume its a genetic thing.
I have a grapefruit clone mother i work with a lot but it will only give me 2.5oz what ever method or nutrients i throw at it.
If i made 8 tops , each one would produce and eighth of the main single cola
So its proven and very annoying.
Dom sorry but a point worth getting opinion on , i am looking into thee ph perfect as i hate using ph down. Thanks.

Red Lights;
- So its a week from flower and im raging! Cant wait to start and to get ready i switched the ladies light today. took out the 600W MH and put in the HPS bulbs.
Just something about that red tinge that makes harvest seem that much closer. Its been a while since i've been able to flower and im just stoke over the new set-up
and the results im going to get. Anyhow these bulbs will live their life out in this tent all vegging will be done in the Mom tent which will soon be equiped with some
shelving to house more clones in the future. ie. Im also switch the light a little early because I am experiementing with my Co2 intake with light intensity increase/Decrease to see if the growth rate is effected in any dramatic rates.

No worries, thats whats the sites for. This is how information is passed along. On the PH Perfect note i recommend trying it out because the PH up/down can be a bitch. and all the extra mixing. i like to keep it simple but effective here a link http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/Search.php?cx=016786975400981072519%3Aixfxrabupgq&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=ph+perfect&x=0&y=0

Beautiful Dom..you're gonna love CO2 they are gonna explode and flowering time usually shortens quite a bit

Been fell in love with it, not my first tie usuing it just changing the methods around a bit. My plants go from toothpicks to telephone polls. Im trying to get the diameter of my stalks some where close to 1in. but might need to up my pot size. we'll see.

well maybe think about switching? its way cheaper! like 75 bucks for a gallon of each grow, bloom, and micro!

I would miss th elevel of control i think. I believe the results would be relatively close but the additives i think give me a boost with my setup. Thats the only think i can think of so if money becomes an issue i might lol.

Today:
- Had a few seeds come from my Normal supplier. which is a little unexpected based on his crop, but i guess everyone can suffer from a little light leak. Im not compaining I might have another solid strain added to my roster; if all pans out. Taking into account the mom and crops are grown in the Yosemite mountains its a really heavy high and the buds are dense. So lets all cross our fingers. I believe i have photos of the bud will post if i find while writing this. I have also posted a picture of thr Sierra Gold that was smashed by a hood. She is coming in really stong hasnt seem to loose any of her stench. finally cloned here to nuture some healthy off spring to taste this Jack Herery sativa mix. Has really strong Genetics> BTW I have the genetic Liniage to all my plants, some pretty good stuff.
