    I would say it's kind of right. The main cola from an untopped plant should be the best quality bud that strain can grow.

    When topped I'd say that quality diminishes very very slightly.

    Overall though you will get more good bud from a topped plant because of the way you achieve better light distribution.

    The untapped plant might produce one dank nug but after that you're on the lower shit.

    I never used to top for years as I preferred the nice big fat central colas and the quality was A1 but my yields didn't carry me to the next harvest. Topping achieved this easily.

    Quality is determined by genetics and your ability to give the plant it's best possible chance of becoming its 100% not wether it has a single main cola or 8 main colas. Well that's threw my experience anyway.

    i prefer to just lollipop my girls and let them go vertical, there's no point having a 6'-6'' grow space and only using 2 foot of it,
    again it's all very subjective, so many methods work and produce good solid nugs,

    one plant maxed out can produce sum truly crazy weight, but so can 4 vertical plants with minimal veg/training time,



    that girl was only vegged for 30 days,

    When you top it redistributes hormones to other parts of the plant and increases hormone production so I cant see how it would be a bad thing. IMO if anything will make the smoke better.

    I agree with this to a certain extent. I did really well from a Dinafem Cheese untopped and vegged for just under 3 weeks.



    But Ive also run the same strains topped and untopped with no difference in smoke quality whatsoever. I actually prefer topping and training tbh.

    that's why it's such a great thing growing ya own,
    no one method to it because there's not just one method of growing,

    lst, scrog, sog, mainline, top, fim and so on,

    someone who tops then fims then lst's will says 'this is best'
    others will do sog, someone else will scrog, someone else mainlining,

    the best method is what you prefer doing, if i can ask blue

    how many of those cheese girls could you fit into a 1.2 tent? 4?
    beautiful lookin plant btw matey,

    Thanks monster, 4 is the maximum number when it comes to a 1.2 tent with most strains in my opinion. Wether grown with training or not it's an ideal number for plenty of light, air movement and yield.

    i'm guessing 4 such plants topped and scrog netted would yield roughly the same amount then?


    with that girl i posted, i had 5 tops more or less level until it was flowered,
    then only the main cola grew vertical, no additional side shoots, it's an amnesia trait and why i kept her as a mother,


    but ur cheese looks stinky sticky thc stuff, i bet ya carbon filter was having a cardiac arrest with 4 of those, lol

    I always top mine at least 3 or 4 times veg for 4-5 weeks never ever question quality infact ide be afraid of the smoke if it got any better , already gives the sweets to people and seen many a seasoned smoker green out after having one to many at my place haha ...
