About how long should you typically veg for after topping?bongsmilie
Give em at least 4 days to recover, and then it is totally up to you understanding that it will get 2 times bigger for sure and some strains go 3 times bigger, it's all about planning your garden

ok I will start off by saying I did not read this entire thread. Quick question that may have been answered. From your experience does this 4 cola method work with most strains or are there some that will respond poorly to it. Obviously there are too many strains to know for sure. Are there strains that you have grown that respond poorly to this method.

About how long would it take for you to read the first couple of pages?
I have read quite a few pages but I aso have some trainwreck screwing me all up and got al sorts of lazy. Someone obviously didnt think it was too much of a pain in the ass to answer. Sorry if you thought it was.

I don't think it is too much to answer, it is that it has already been answered. If I where you I'd try to do your own research as much as possible, you'll learn a lot more that way. Being lazy doesn't work well when growing. It will cause your plants to suffer. So if you are rendered lazy and blame trainwreck (this is rarely true) I suggest you ease up a bit and take note.
 
thx UB for your methodology (4 colas, plant moisture and all the great great advice you share). I'm a nooby, read all kinds of stuff and since I switched to your approach everything is going great and smooooooth :bigjoint: Like many others said, I've learned more with you than all the others !! FYI I'm combining all your tweaks associated with Subcool's soil approach. Now just adding plain water , no more liquid nutes.

Look forward to reading new posts by you as I've read every single one thave you've wrote.

Respect and a little hello from France.

no one said how long to veg for cause its not relevant to topping. Veg for however long you want after you top your plant above the 2 node. Veg for a week a month a year...However big you want your plant

its really all about how long you want to veg. Theres nothing that one can say that would be a definite answer. If he did state it, its just a general time stamp. Its entirely however up to the grower. I know people who top and just go straight to flowering without a veg time after they top there plants. they get fine results. Read some more about growing, I did when i first started. You will find yourself answering your own questions, and will be less of a noob.

theres no limit to what you can do... i get more weight with a plant that has somewhere between twenty and thirty top colas. 2 or even four top colas is nothing... heres a plant with 25 same size top colas

Look I asked a simple question if someone thinks its a waste of time to answer they dont have to its just that simple. I am not trying to be rude by any means but instead of getting annoyed by repeat question just ignore it. Sorry for making the thread too long with my stupid question.:wall:
