patients young grass hopper patients.
and just so you know the new branches don't come from where you cut, lol they come from the node just bellow where you cut so their not really new branches their just new tops.

Sorry if this has already been discussed (don't have time to read all 400+ pages-lol), but my clones are from a mature plant and they have alternating nodes instead of symmetrical. I've "fimmed" my last couple rounds with decent but unpredictable results, but would love to be able to top for 4 colas reliably. Question is, would I be able to do that still with the nodes not being symmetrical? If so where would I top, 4th "branch" up? Or would I have to top twice to achieve 4 colas? Thanks UB, even though this is my 1st post I've learned a lot from you and others here. (long time lurker)
Nevermind, found it, won't work

If I did understand well , is to let the plant growing 5 t 6 nodes then cut it and leave 2 nodes ??? please somebody answers I have 3 plants all are 5-6 nodes , also I got cotyledons but on top of them a node that looks small dark green and kinda just laying down is that count ??

cotyledons do not count so the node above them is the first node then cut the bitches above the second node it's all right there on the 1st page of this thread.

i always get annoyed when people ask questions already asked in a thread.... But jesus I cant read more than about 60 pages. 445 you guys are nuts.
How long after topping can you go to 12/12? In one of the first few pages UB says it doesnt stress the plants at all. So my assumption is I can pretty much stick to my routine.
I am coming from a perpetual SOG background and do a 0 veg routine currently. Al B Fucts method if it must be named
Im thinking of changing things up a little.
Cutting down on plant numbers, topping via UBs method sometime in week 1 of veg and going another week before going to flower. 2 weeks veg total. I dont have enough room to go more than 2 weeks in veg and still keep my perpetual going.

I did the Fuct style thing for a long time. If I didn't have to worry about plant numbers and was OK with 1 strain runs I would probably still be doing it. Keep in mind that topping can have unpredictable effect on clones. Some clones grow up 2-3-4 heads in a uniform fashion and some just refuse to branch from the 1 dominant cola. You should still do it .. just be aware.

so i went into the room today all hot to trot on some UB style toppage... Couldnt find a single damn plant that has symetrically opposed nodes. All are alternating. Different strains, different ages none look like the pic on page 1... I should have grabbed some pics but it was cleaning day which always gets me grumpy and ready to get out of there.

Thank you so much UB, made it easy as shit to understand and badass knowledge to have. Was finally able to give it a try and it worked perfect!
Waited until begining of 6th node, cut above 2nd node
and here she is 2 days after cut

Appears you have good plant vigor/growth. Doesn't take long for the plant to react.
Good luck,

Hi uncle ben, a little off topic maybe , but she is topped i wanted to ask you on your take if that's cool.
As you can see i overfed Nitrogen by applying too much worm humus and or bloodmeal.
Is the damage you can see all because of the Nitrogen abundance? and is there anything i can do now to reduce this and let her flower with no issues? because the growth of the plant dosn't really seem affected to this point and she has been growing fine, i topped her a couple of weeks ago and switched the lights yesterday.
thanks.
