Cannibusstoker: I think there's a post here on the forum on fiming or topping. Roughly, after the fourth out cropping of branches you can top it by cutting off about 60% of the topical bud. If you do it as to their specs they claim you can get as many as four colas. Two are the most I've ever gotten. I think there's also an article on the subject as well in "HIGH TIMES." One of the two sources has good pictures as well. I hope that helps. HSA
