Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

Thanks UB for a GREAT thread, actually found you in another thread.
Cut these early today, did I make the right cut? Sure hope so!

Looks like you did.

Good luck,
UB

Riddleme knows his shit,, awesome.......

Plasma is the best I've seen so far, so now I'm even more interested. I do detailed grow journals especially since I'm trying some breeding. PM me if I can help. I'm in MT and a Caregiver.

HAHAHAHAH well played

Can anyone recommend a good nitrogen additive for use in a hydro rockwool grow? (In order to reveg clones for opposing nodes.)

hey uncle ben or anyone else, this technique looks awesome but is there a post in this thread that has more descriptive information on making the cut. For example, a pic or pictures of the plant before the cut is made?

Here you go. View attachment 1422210

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not but here goes...if I super crop and SCROG under where I'm supposed too will that work the same way as topping or am I waaay off base..again sorry if it's a stupid question.

Hi Uncle Ben!

I am sorry to bother you, but just a couple questions if you don't mind. If you don't respond i totally understand.

To the point:

I am a relatively new grower, and I do not feel as if i am maximizing my potential. I have a 1000W MH/HPS inside of a tent, and I really want to hone in my skills before i go any larger, which i plan to when i move. I am trying to figure out whether or not topping is my best option, i have yet to do so, but i do plan on trying my next grow.

I am sticking with Chocolope strain, as I love to smoke it and let's be honest it get's me extremely high. (Side note, i am a cancer patient with CA prop 215 license). I am just looking for some suggestions

My grow room is 5x5 with about 6 feet of clearence height wise, soon i will be moving into a room.

This next round I would really like to try to topping technique you illustrated in your thread. Just a quick question, once i top, how high should i let the plant grow before switching to flowering? Also about how long do you think it will take for the plant to re-grow to an acceptable height at which point i would switch it to flower? Also How many plants do you think would be the best option to use under the 1000W?

Just a bit of help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Uncle Ben. Have a good one, and happy growing.

I also have a 5X5 tent with a 600 MH/HPS I fit 9 plants in mine but it was a squeeze. I veged an extra month after using UB's topping technique although it is not neccessary. It just depends on how tall you want your plants to get. I still probably had a good 2 or 3 feet of space for my plants to grow by the time it was harvest time. Hope this helps.
