Thanks for the recomendation. The fourth node from the bottom?

Why would this be better then letting the plant grow 2 or 3 feet and then topping it... or not topping it at all.

Once a plant enters its flowering stage does it stop growing straight up and flower at the top?? I cut my first plant between nodes 5 and 6 and all I got was two smaller buds at the top.

Thanks

Here's another pic of the plant from a distance

basically topping it lower will let the plant get bushier than taller..most people do this so they don't really get a tall plant but they get the same yield and much more when its bushy..after a little while of flowering it will stop vertical growth but not bud growth...but were u cut it is just fine

I pulled back the leafes that had already begun to grow, then used nail clippers to cut the main branch...
