Potsative Man is starting to vegetate.
Toping 1 week into 12/12

I know its not the best time to top but these are some taller phenos and even if they slow down a little...Ive always had more yeild with 2 collas..What do you think?!

What are your experiences with topping?....

note: I have too many plants in a limited amount of space, so bending and LST are out of question...

opening a whole can of worms on this one =) Ive topped and had no problems.. some say it decreases the yield possibility from the top cola.. Im not yet convinced.. Id say your OK.. Id even clone the top if you can.. no sense wasting her
Its not totally done its stretching so you may find some growth from the lower nodes..
Grow on man!

cheeselova! is beginning to sprout.

Only one way to find out i'm afraid!

Some strains can take being topped during flowering and will produce loads of cola the same sixe as the original 1 some will produce a series of slightly smaller colas which can still lead to an increase in total yeild and some, will just get stressed and herm.
I hope you have one of the first two!
What strain are you growing?

Had great results this time with bending the longer colas 90 degrees a few nodes from the top of each cola. They fatten up more below the bend too.
