Hey guys so I haven't even started flowering yet, still got another 15 days or so of veg but whats involved in topping a plant to you can get two main tops or colas? is it risky at all or a bad idea?

its to stop it from getting taller and makes it more bushy you just cut the new growth coming out the top of the plant there is a forum devoted to just topping and fimming

aite so seems doable, does it allow the plant to have like two large top colas tho...ive read that a couple times, or is topping a plant simply for keeping it short and bushy

Yes, you will end up with 2 main colas! My last crop I did, I topped. I was real pleased...It does control the height of the plant and it allows light to get to other buds that it normally woudn't get too. But, YES, you will get 2 main colas...:bigjoint:

Thanks. I am using a 400W MH/HPS...It seems to be pretty good for 4 good sized plants. I have topped and not topped...so far, I am down with the topping! Nothing like having a set of big ass colas! You won't be sorry if you give it a try.:leaf:
