ok so I decided to top all 3 of my plants,did it above the 4th node like everyone said i should,tell me what you think!

Mcdonalds topped!!

White Castle Topped!! i need to transplant soon,I will next Wednsday!

This is the part I cut off white Castle,above the 4th node,this is what all 3 looked like practically!

This is the Retard aKa Taco Bell before being topped

This is Taco Bell after being topped as you can tell the new growth is gone!

This is up close,u can see where i cut on the stem,i used a magnifying glass!

heres the stem where it was cut again kind of hard to c but yea,hopeuflly i did it right

what exactly does early topping do? just make it grow much more bushy and short? would it help any with the SoG method?

it keeps the plant short if u r using short heights like I am,because i only have around 1 foot more room before i can grow nemore so yea,and it can make it more bushy but it makes the plant have 2 smaller colas instead of just one huge one,u can also LST and i havent tried any SOG method

I'll have 3 or 4 feet of vertical space to grow in, but I also have to fit a hps light in there yet too. I'm hoping to do SoG.

good luck with your grow. I'll be watching your progress :)

hey GB, heres a pic of my topped plant & the 1 i femmed by accident..lol

i think its femmed, i heard it forms so you get 4 colas instead of the 2 you get with topping.

femmed on the right in 1st pic, topped in 2nd, you can look back a bit in my journal & get a good frontal shot of the topped 1.

I like how things are moving along smoothly for you gobears... and hope the topping works out for you...

as far as fimming goes... i gave it a shot, and wished I would have topped instead. I think the whole fimming technique is less of a technique and more like chance.. or better said "luck"... or maybe it was just my "bad luck" lol... well what ever it was... next time I'm topping =]

Glad to here your going to school gobears... I was actually thinking of going back 2nd degree myself..(botany maybe lol) but we'll see... have a bunch of other stuff to take care of first.. maybe next year.


Good luck man and keep us updated.
