    when you top or fim a plant dont u run the risk of yielding less bud because you've destroyed essentially the best cola on the plant. i've heard a lot of people say that you should only top the plant IF they're getting to tall for the space you have. ive also heard that removing growth from sidebranches is a good way of getting a bushy plant as everytime u remove a part of stem it will form into 2. then u can cut the 2 new growths which will form into 4 and so on...

    you would top at the end of vegging ONLY IF you think the plant will become too big for the space you have during flowering, im not sure exactly how taller a plant would get during flowering but if you think it will be too big then top your plant before you put it on 12/12.

    Can someone make this a sticky, I'm a little afraid that when it gets bumped to the next page it'll be kind of lost.

    Cool, im glad to help mate.

    Topping is not as bad as it sounds and looks. I can remember the first time i chopped a head off a beautful plant and almost cried until i seen the results after a few days, i've never looked back.

    One thing to know is that some strains do take to it better than others, i.e if you know the strain you are growing is stress sensitive then topping wouldn't be advised.

    I always top my plant's without any problems. I like to top them so you get 4 to 6 main cola's per plant which also helps with getting the most light to you plants and it also helps with airflow. It also helps lower any risk of bud rot, the reason is the cola's you get are not as dense as one main cola would be. You share out the one fat cola between 4 to 6 so to speak.

    It won't take you long mate and you will be trying all different techniques, it becomes all part of the fun of growing.

    You will find a technique that suits your needs best and then you can stick to it because you will find you can get the most out of your grow kit and plant's.
