![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | High Red I've read in some GJ's here that some certain genetics don't respond well to topping. Sometimes breeders will tell you in their descriptions that it doesn't respond well to topping. Trial and error I guess mate Take two clones. Top one, LST the other. I got away from topping a long time ago and exclusively LST now. You can read about it in the training forumHope this helps a little bit Edit: it's not that they CAN'T be topped, it's how they respond to that stress...Ppl that top will tell you that there's no better way. Ppl that LST will also tell you there's no better way due to the plant not being stressed...you decide. 6 in one, half dozen in the other. | ||

Perhaps the Reference Library can be of use, lots of useful information here. Hall of Threads - Training Here's myMUSICveins' response to topping, makes a lot of sense, you may want to reconsider. " Quote:

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | That's Purple Kush. I topped them as soon as the rooted and again a week or two later and I think about a week after that I topped anything that was getting a lot taller than the rest of the group. I'm going on memory, I really didn't keep accurate records, sorry ![]()
