lol, no falling out... he's just enjoying the spring time in the upper peninsula. He's about to get a butt load of beans, so I am sure you can catch him around. He's also on Facebook, he updates there sometimes. lol.
Like I said though, he will be back around. I think his flower cycle is really early in too, everyone always assumes the worse.
PS, did you hear? Nug's got raided by the INS!!!wha!

Just found this thread 2 days ago looking for high yielding techniques. I have been studying this (yield info) for the last 2-3 months, but this, by far, is the best technique and most informative tutorial out there! I only made it through the first 30-35 pages before I had to stop and post. DAMN NUGBUCKETS!!!!! I am definitely in your debt. We all appreciate the time it took to do that. We also appreciate the willingness to help, and patience you display, even if it means answering the same questions over and over. That's what this community is meant to be. Your heart is in the right place, my brother from another mother. Thanks man. REPxInfinity. Peace

I did this to one of my plants. I was bending the tip and it just snapped right off. So I did it to the other side to make it even and kept going
Happened to me yesterday Mo! Left her as 3-headed though like ES above. Bottom right, 3-headed `accident`

I have found that some breeds are more brittle than others.
I was trying to supercrop one of my Deadheads when it nearly
completely snapped off. It was still attached, about 30%....so
I wrapped a splint of masking tape around it.
Not to be deterred...once I saw that there was greening back up
above the break....I supercopped it anyway. :0)
I took the tape off yesterday.
You can only see a slight widening where the break was.
Take care all,
JD

I don't think any of mine actually have an even number of heads. There's 7s and 11s and 15s

Haha, you can only try mate, or train hard. Those kushes above I had to have some serious shaping to get anything remotely close to the Nugs concept (and I still have a 3 (br), a 7(tl), and the perfect 8(tr)). But like he stated early, this style is most condusive to plants with single cola dominance ... which the Kush I have is not, yours may not be either mate, it`s the distribution of energy and nutrients that counts

Noob question: (journal in sig, pic update coming weds)
My widows popped a single leaf first, then a three leaf, and are now on their first set of five leaf. So the nodes stack 1-3-5 at this point. How long do I wait to top it? I figured I would wait until the first full set of five leaf have stems and push away from the main, and top above them.

I think most wait for the fifth set of nodes before topping primarily to give your plant time to develop a healthy root ball. I topped to mainline as early as the emergence of the third set of nodes without issue. From seed I would at least wait for the emergence of the fourth node from a cutting (symmetrical nodes) the third.

Root mass is the most important aspect for being ready to top for this method. Because so much material is done away with on the inital topping, the plant has to have the mass to support regrowth. I like to top at nodes 4 or 5 regardless of leaf/node set (count).
@sparky - I let my soil ML`s go 50-60 days of veg to support the 8 heads, you could probably get away with 30 days in a DWC set-up depending on how vigorous your plant`s growth is

I topped my first ones way too early, and it added weeks to veg.
