So I can do this as soon a the 6-7th node comes in and I just cut off the top to get 4 main colas? Can you make a sketch how it happens.

lol.. just follow the links lol... well i fimd my bucket but normally do a combo of both.. and with a scrog it helps fill the screen faster.. muahahahaha
Can anyone direct me to a thread that might contain a list of plants that do not respond well to topping? I have a Dinafem Shark Attack (super skunkXwhite widow) that has a bad case of necrosis on its larger leaves that appeared shortly after topping. Does white widow have issues with topping? thanks

Actually both of the strains take topping well individually, in conjunction I cant say. I think it might be in the medium.

If the REAL way to top for success, You will need a katana and a headband. sooo:
1. Place headband over face
2. Huff some paint for added effect
3. Yell OOOGASAKIIII!!!!!!
4. Lop that bitches head off

It could be that your food is too strong.. your plant might be healing the wounds.. and taking up certain nutrients slower.. maybe the reason for the burn.. do you have pics?

Only plants that branch badly "don't top well". No plant responds "badly" to topping, just some don't branch as much as others and can seem to be taking longer to react.
Did my first grow with 3 shark attack found 2 phenos 1 super skunk dominant and 1 ww dominant both responded well to topping. Cross your fingers for the ss dom its nugs are chunky and it reeks...

Buy more consistent seeds maybe? F3/4 is usually the balls.

UB I hate to be a bother, but when you say
do you mean the second node down, or the second node up from the bottom???
- "To get 4 main colas, let your seedling or cutting (clone) grow to about 5-6 nodes and pinch out (cut) the stem just above the 2nd true node"
do you mean the second node down, or the second node up from the bottom???

I do believe that the second true node IS the next node up from the FIRST true node - which would be the first set of true leaves. holy crap. the first true node, again, is the first set of true leaves after the cotelydons, which are the little round leafs that first protrude from the seedling. okay?
great way to think about it, i usually top all my plants...
