Right on .... each case is effective .... in my example there is only one (1) bruise and bend and one (1) cut (topping) and the rest is natural growth. You have me jazzed about it again. I'll be sure to PM you when I have the pics.

It seems we have pretty much the same topping styles as well .... :bigjoint:

i per sonly think it is best to top first then lst and top more if wanted, if you top first you just gave your self more main shoots to tie over

Yeah that soil is a little fucked. It's where we had a bad winter my maneur pile was covered in snow and frozen and it made it look like that when I mixed if with some forest floor topsoil.

Yea I used more maneur than I usually do this time. When I transplant the plants in smaller pots, I'll transplant them into fox farms. So far though they are growing on schedule and seem to be doing fine. Gonna have me a 400w hps in a few days.

Our thread below shows about 30 good size plants that have been tied down. They were all topped one time when very small. If we're late on the bending and come across a stiff branch, we snap it down and support it. Every significant branch is tied down to holes drilled in the edge of the either the 5 or 10 gallon pot (depending on age). We have found it necessary to remove some of the inner fan leaves, as the bending can crowd several leaves together. While these plants are only around 2 feet tall, the trunk in over an inch thick on some. This is a great method of creating large plants that can still be efficiently lit with overhead lighting.

letitgrow,
gotta say two things:
first, your purple plant there looks mighty sweet! great job and keep it up.. id be very curious to know how much dry weight that yields -
second, BIGUP for putting that lighter in there, i gotta say i cant stand when ppl post photos of buds or plants makin it look like a freakin monster when there's nothin to compare it to for relative size... now i can see that my OG Kush x Bubba K isnt doin too bad after all!! LST'd, she's got 5 heads and mid-week 6
JAHBLESS
