Real discussion on Topping

I went above the third node, leaving three nodes intact just to make sure you get what I'm saying.

If you can add to the thread with your results, maybe throw in a fourth node top results?

The only problem is my two clones are having an experiment of its own. The left pot is castings and a local organic potting soil. The right pot is the same mix top dressed with blood meal and with bone meal in thee bottom of the pot.

hi
think topping works diffrent on diffent strains and phones
i am luckly and found a phones that loves toping
works so well you could think its a scog

i have a grow on here that i have topped ealy in veg and late in veg
and lst
2nd week flower
please have look and see what you think

High all,

I know there are tons of topping threads but this one popped up just at the rght time

I just popped a feminized Cheese from GHS and a feminizeds Vanilla Kush from Barney's, I know different strains reactly differently to topping but I am going to join in on the OP's thread; if they don't mind

I will be using the above plus two clones; Lemon Skunk (GHS), and BlueBerry Gum (G13 Labs) in a 4 strain SCRoG 4x4 setup.

I will be topping the Cheese and Lemon Skunk at or around the third node and the Vanilla Kush, and Blueberry Gum at or around the fifth node, The different strains is enough to render this as a non-scientifc excercise but I also will be introducing multiple more variables like LST, Super cropping, etc that the results will be all in fun.

Here is the Vanilla Kush and the Cheese, just a few days from sprouting



Here are the seedlings with the Lemon Skunk clone



and my Blueberry Gum will most likely come from one of these cuttings



Look forward to the results.

regards,

Somebody else asked but it hasn't been answered yet: Are/were they feminized or reg.? The taller one could be a male?

That's what I'm thinking, it has all the characteristics of being a male.

Hey ballzac does the one on the left have a stronger odor then the other one ?

They were both ones I deemed to be female because of the strong odor coming off them. Like I stated before I have yet to see any signs of Sex.

didn't see the part where u said u couldn't tell the sex yet, but that's a new one on me: that strong odor=female.




*Edit
Pre-bud anyway. Also, any size difference in containers will make a difference in plant size.

That has been expressed multiple times. I'm glad people feel the need to restate the obvious repeatedly.

did you clone what you cut off balzac

I've got a second batch of seedlings coming through now. Maybe I will get identical pot sizes and top them at above 3,4 and 5 and we shall compare to one that I do not top at all.

This whole thing is based on the secondary branch growth.

I don't care for height its about secondary growth stimulation for growing monsters outdoors.

I would like if others could throw down on this.

I would like to compare results.

Nah, I'm only using one mother for cloning this year cause of the high demand for WW around here.

I wont top and still will get a bigger bush guaranteed. keepem green dirrtyd

I have topped my Lemon Skunk, early results below.

Before



After



It will be some time before the others are ready to be topped.
