I get 15 - 30 colas without topping and without a net. Just an observation.
Taking the main stem, the plant has to stop and grow a new one.
Main stem is called the "Apical Meristem". Plants cannot grow without it.
It's also where all the growth hormones and growth cells for the entire plant are made and distributed.
Cutting the main stem, plants have to stop growing and grow a new one. There's another one under the soil, the main root stem. Also called the "apical root meristem" with similar function as the main stem above the soil.
Here's an example of a non-topped plant with likely 40-50 side branches @ 40 day in flower. I dont usually count the branches, there's always more than enough.
