But have u ever get 4 tops from only 1 top? I mean this is the first time that i top a plant and inted of getting 2 like normal im getting 4. Is this normal to other people? This has never happened at least to me only. And i always top my plants between top and lower branches like 10-15 times. Toke on. ====~~

That happens when the two nodes under the cut you make are very close together. The lack of hormones being sent downwards from the top of the plant, will affect both of those nodes, due to thir proximity.

Since someone requested it, here's a few pix of the response of seedlings after topping.

My cross of a Posi. Haze X Sensi Skunk day or so after topping above the 2nd node. Think this was April.

Upcanned. Notice how the lower trunk was stripped of petioles so the seedling could be planted as deep as possible. That produces more root mass.

June, about ready to be planted outdoors. 4 perfect, even colas.

August, 2 months before harvesting. Colas are so heavy that even staking/tieing doesn't help. They went sideways.

What about topping late in the game. 2mo in about to flip. Would give a week or so after topping before flip. Things are obv big. I would like less popcorn.

Hi all - 1st post, last grow i used the "UB" method - worked a treat , sorry for pic overload, all topped above second node, explosive growth, 4 main colas - 470grams bone dry with a 600w, and my best prvious was about 8 oz! My environment aint the best as im in the loft but this method works wonders!
Im starting another grow using the same method, a question though.... Should i tie down the 4 main tops to encourage the lower growth this time round? Would it adversly affect the 4 main colas?

Eeez All!

Uncle ben I thought i kissed yer ass enough first go around but i haven't come close.... last grow (first ever)I topped and it worked. However I stressed the crap out of the plants with heat and cold and light both duration and to close. Well they spit some seeds out at me. I saved a bunch, tried one and it grew funny. This son of a bitch grew 8 colas without topping, from a seed of one I topped for only 4 last grow!!!! Not sure if you have heard of this but I may be sitting on a small pile of awesome mutants!!! Can't wait to see how big they get. Thanx again

It's been said by Mel Frank and confirmed by a friend (anecdotal evidence) that if a female throws just a few seeds from one of those "nanners" you never saw but happened any way, the chances of the progeny turning out female is very strong.

Never seen a mutant but I assume all your foliar output derived from a node site. If it did, that's normal output....it's just what cannabis does.
