Fellers, read the thread beginning with the first page before posting such a redundant question which has been answered a million times.

Alright, well you never explain what a cola or a node is. You never explain at what stage you started topping(like how many days or weeks into growing). You never said at what point it would be better to NOT top. I did just go back and realized that because I was not a member some of the pictures and links were dead, so sorry about that one. Without being a member i got nothing from the first page which is why I questioned. So, I'll look through the dictionary here to see what a cola and a node are. But can you please tell me timeframes? Is there a point where it is advisable not to top?
Why not become a member so you can view the pictures? Page 291 has a nice diagram showing nodes and top (cola). The 1st 5 pages of this thread answer your question of the "timeframe".

someone remind me as to why this is better than supercropping ( bending the main cola ) allowing the lower nodes to get light? I believe cutting your plant in anyway would lower yield.
Pruning has been used in horticulture and agriculture for many, many years to improve many aspects of health resulting in better yield. It will not alone cause issues like you describe. I think you may be confused between Supercropping and LST. LST (low stress training) is the gradual bending and manipulating of the plant. Supercropping, I believe, is when you pinch, and essentially bruise and damage, parts of stems and/or branches, to create new shoots. I think that's close.

UB your tech works like a champ.
I cut between 2nd and 3rd I got 4 colas, between 3rd and 4th I got six colas...just like you said...perfect. Thanks for the info!
Im also using Dyna Grow. Love that stuff and so do my plants...anyway I have DG root gel. It has a sticker that says "not to be used on plants intended for food or feed puposes" what are thoughts on using this on MJ? Im affraid to use it now...
You mentioned "flushing like you are supose to" in a previous post. I am growing in soil and thought people only flush at the end of flower. Should soil plants be "flushed" durring the grow like between veg and flower? Or did you mean just getting a good "run off" with each watering / feeding?
Thanks for all your threads. Helped mt a lot.
Her are my girls...BK1 is a six and the rest 4...just like advertised....

BT I appreciate the post but I feel like nobody is reading what I'm actually writing. I understand the definitions now and I stated that above your post. I read the thread as well.
