More buds? Do you mean more usable product at harvest, or just more buds?

I've tried both untopped and topped. I get better overall yields by not topping. I get more, but smaller buds when I top.

If there are more bud sites, i.e. they should show up at every growth node. So more nodes = mode buds...probably. I've never topped any of my plants, so I'm shooting from the hip here. Somebody with more experience with topping can tell you better, I'm sure.

In my opinion I get a higher yeild when I top.
But every strain is dif I read SO you should research your strain and the best grow methods.

depends on strain. Some do better with, some don't. what are you growing and what size space do you have? Do you just want to top for the fuck of it or are you limited by space? All these play a part in topping so ya needs to supply more info to get any actual reply.

every strain has a maximum yield so more bud sites may not always mean more usable product. However, there are reasons why topping is so popular and yield (the amount of usable herb you have at harvest - that's for qwerty11) is the biggest.

Depends on if you give equal veg time. In my experience with equal veg time the plant that has grown without my sadistic torture yielded more.

Yes under ideal conditions a topped plant produces more. Take a SCROG grow as an example.
