That means you are a newer member than me. They changed how long it can be since I did mine. RIU doesn't like the long ones though (too much space), that is why they changed it. The old can stay but new ones have to be shorter. :peace:
 
That is why I top mine, you get more branches to grow nice fat colas from. It also keeps the plant bushier than taller. Looking good Weedguy. :peace:

As ou can see after topping the plants the are growing in quadrupals :D I am SOOOOOOOOO glad i topped them all this means more colas for me?
Although it has slowed down leaf production on top it got ver bush underneath, and lots of leaves have startedto form.

I topped on third week of veg and look how mine turned out.....im pretty happy i dont think you wanna top during flowering though. Correct me if im wrong.
 
You have already topped them. No need to do it again. You could branch clone them if want. Take clones from the sides. :peace:
 
cheers 4 that i think i will let nature take its course and wait and see what happens
knowledge will better prepare me for next time round
 
Has anyone topped a second time on the two colas that spring up after the first top session?

I really wanna try it, but not sure if its a good idea..
 
Yes i do often but only on the main 2 plants that i want to be large and that are directly under the lamp not on the sideline.:blsmoke:

So natmoon, do you top them while vegging, then again when flowering or just before flowering?
 
After 2 weeks snip across the first top and after 4 weeks snip those 3 tops again the just put it straight into 12/12.
In the future though im just going to be growing lots of single stem plants as its less hasstle.

When i snip the tops and always leave a tiny bit of it left this gives me 2-3 tops instead of one on the first snip and i then a week later snip all 3 new tops in the same manner,you don't have to wait until they are big to snip them,in fact its better to snip them when they are fairly small with clean sharp nail scissors.

Im pretty stoned right now and its hard to wrap my head around wether i make sense or not lol:blsmoke:
 
When do you think i could change to 12/12 and induce flowering? - i was thinking this monday....would that be ok?

Also could i get a load of these( Find SILICA DESICCANT GEL 10x10g bags. Great for Camera Bags on eBay within, Other Digital Camera Accs, Digital Camera Accessories, Photography (end time 22-Oct-07 14:13:37 BST) ) and put them in the jars with my bud to dry them faster??as i know for sure that i will be in a hurry....

Sorry to be insistive its just im about to buy these things and wanna know if im wasting my time.....

You make total sense (maybe cause I am stoned too, lol). I top mine once, 2 weeks before I flower them. Ah there are so many methods and techniques eh? :peace:

Does anyone have any before and after pictures so I can see how to top my babies properly? And at this point could I make the tops that I take clones?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HAVE MERCY
 
You can set 12/12 from seed if you want to and the silica gel will help the bud to dry out quickly but bear in mind that silica gel is poisonous,so i dont know if its such a great idea to put it in with your weed.
If you need speed drying then your harvesting to wet to start with always let the plant dry right up before you harvest it:blsmoke:
 
Good point, you can go 12/12 from day 1. And the results will show it. You can also veg until you see the preflowers and then go to 12/12. And the results will show that too. Likewise with drying/curing. You can dry it in the oven if you want, takes 10 minutes. But to get the quality results it just takes time, there's no getting around that. :joint::joint::joint:
