LST & topping

[Cannoisseuras]

Which as you can see gave me myltiple colas

 

[illinoisguy21]

Okay let me ask u this, let's say I top the main stem, and I give it a couple weeks to grow. Can I top the tops that came from the main stem? If that makes sense to u

 

[Cannoisseuras]

Its alot scarier then it seems but if I can do it anyone can. Just keep it simple and u got this

 

[illinoisguy21]

How many times can i top a plant? And where all at all the plant can i top?

 

[Cannoisseuras]

You can top side branches to

 

[Cannoisseuras]

When I topped I topped then have a few days to heal before I topped again cause I didnt wanna stress her to much but I can find out if its safe to do more then one top at the same time

 

[Cannoisseuras]

You can top any branch

Okay let me ask u this, let's say I top the main stem, and I give it a couple weeks to grow. Can I top the tops that came from the main stem? If that makes sense to u

Yes

 

[illinoisguy21]

Estimated guess. How many colas will u have on ur plant? And what leds do u use and what's ur average yeild

 

[illinoisguy21]

Okay so when should I stop topping my plants? A week before flower?

Pretty much as much as you want. But you have to consider the amount of time you let it veg and how big that topping is going to make it get.

There's a journal on here on fluxing which is basically topping how you are talking about. They have some amazing results. I believe light addict can hel you

He's the one who just won plant of the month if you wanna find him

By the way.....welcome to 420mag. Its great to have ya

 

[illinoisguy21]

I'm new to here not sure how to search people or journals. Let's say I run regarding seeds, and let's just say they are females, what would u suggest for a veg and flower time, was thinking about growing barney seeds. Seem to have nice strains

 

[illinoisguy21]

I'm thinking about using 2 1000 watt king plus leds and grow in fox farm soil. Not sure what size tent I should get

 

[Cannoisseuras]

All up to you....that plant you just saw was 32 days from seed and its 44days from seed total. General rule of thumb is they will normally double in size when you flip. Im my opinion veg for atleast one month. But thats just my preference

 

[illinoisguy21]

Okay. With the fim method would that produce more cola buds on my plant?

 

[Cannoisseuras]

Theoretically speaking yes...the results vary. But if you fim you will always get at least two new branches but ive seen and heard people getting up to 6-8 new branches from a single fim

 

[illinoisguy21]

So if I fim I could just end up with 2 colas like I would if u was to top it?

 

[Cannoisseuras]

Yeah you could......basically fim stands for f%** I missed. So it's basically trying to top but not cutting close enogh to the node.
You just take the top of the growth not all of it. So yes the plant could react as if you just topped it. Depending on where you cut/pinch

 

[illinoisguy21]

So if I fim at the right place I could guarantee more the 2 tops? Exactly where would I want to cut to fim to have more then 2 colas?
