Hey UB, do you ever take cuttings that have been topped on the mother plant? A double stalk cut would abide by this same procedure? Anything I should think about using this kind of technique.

Same here when growing from seed, works just fine.Yep always take the top as a clone..

That was a hint to please go back to page one. I'm (we) get tired of answering the same old questions with every new crop of newbs. Folks ought to be making their own calls.....most times I just ignore the post.
The lady will survive as long as you don't cut below the first node. You're not building a piano, just do it.
WTF? You can't be bothered to go back 2 pages and READ?

Thanks master Ben! forgive me, I posted before i backread, almost forgot i posted something on your thread
It was my first time topping lol. Used to do single cola plants til i got sick and tired of average yields
Those tops make damn fine clones!
Again, Sorry.

I just wanted to say thanks Uncle Ben. I topped 6 C99's in an ebb&flow and most branches are strong growing.

i pulled down the two colas on the 3 15 gallon girls sideways today, in order to expose the bottom area of the canopy
i expect the plant to stop doing vertical growth, and all the nodes will come out to an even height?
i have a hard time watering the one in the way back, those are the 3- 15 gallon plants and they seem to have had a nice transplant, not a lot of stress symptoms
other than that , i've only been giving these water, they're in happy frog soil with a little fox farm ocean forest mixed in, some perlite.
pots are suspended above a drip tray . i used the smart pot handles and screwed a 2x4 into the studs of the walls and hung the handles on the screws
the chamber is 4 feet long with a 400w hps above (off for the pic) on a 4ft track, and two 4 foot dual t5's along each side
I was also planning on going up to a 600w HPS, as i hear you can re-use the old reflector and plug it into the new ballast, as long as the socket and cord can handle the higher amperage.
i'm trying to make sure this will work, too , because with the light track i'm scared i won't get that 25 watts per square foot with only the 400
alls i'd need is a bulb and ballast!
temps now are good, and i'm amazed at how much dust the intake filter catches
so what should i do now for nutrients, in your opinion, given my circumstances? I have the dyna gro, and don't mind going out and buying something else that might work better
also wondering , if you do LST how long do you usually wait to flower? i was planning on waiting a week or something then flipping, im expecting them to grow a half a foot or so in the week, and then come flower hopefully be twice as tall, maxing out my height restriction.
i'll also use lst in flower, but am trying to just plan stuff out as best i can with what i got

Dave, newb here, just reading through the thread. Been growing veggies all my life, but now I have other interests. Thanks for taking on helping folks out with redundant questions. I realize that not everyone comprehends on the same level, and not allowing author's editing on the forum does not help.
I'd be nice if the thread wasn't this big, but your contributions have made it better.
You seem to have experience knowledge, and experience is a great teacher.
Again, just a thanks...

Hey UB
I just want to say, I realize you don't have to do this, but it seems to me you really like it.
I don't like a lot of rules myself, but this is the ballpark, and it seems we all want to play.
Teaching other folk can be very rewarding in of itself.
Mel Frank's insiders guide is awesome by the way. $10. Thanks...
Keep sticking it to the man, love, B.

Any node not including the "node" that the cotyledons are attached too since those arent considered true leaves.
