    hi gc members, i currently have a grow going and it's 4 weeks into veg, i have topped and done 4way lst but now i have loads of tops up to up to 20 per plant, so i want to know how many is too many if so?, and does more tops make the buds less dense?  

     
  2. Ey dude! Good to hear you doing good with your grow! Let me know when you got an answer on this. :) peace!
     
  3. yeah so far so good cant wait to go into flower, yup i will do mate.
     
  4. I top 3-4 times in two months of veg.
     
  5. thanks for your input, on average how many tops do you get per plant before switching to 12/12? 
     
  6. [SUB]how ever many you want..it goes by the space you are working with, if u got alot of space top as much as u want[/SUB]
     
  7. im only working with 1m2 x 2m, ive topped them twice and did some lst and as it was my first time to try it i wasn't expecting much but iv'e got like 15-20 tops on each so say 15 tops x 5 plants =a minimum 75 tops in 1m2 that sounds too much lol, any advice should i get rid of some or leave it be?
     
  8. More tops will spread the energy out and none will be as large as if there were fewer of them.  Total yield will still be about the same.
     
  9. thanks for your input, i may just get rid of a few so i have less tops but they'll be bigger in size.
     
  10. Depends on strain, but my main stain is Boysenberry kush, so I end up with 8-12 tops usually. I toped a plant Im vegging now ( critical) for the third time, and it turned into a TREE. it has so many tops now, it amazing.
    First time growing it, real aggressive plant!
     
  11. thanks mate, iv'e made my mind up im going to get rid of some so im left with 12 per plant, i think 20 per plant with 5 plants will be way too much for my 1m2.
     
  12. Should be topping then cropping then fim ing. So you have a Bush

    they are like bushes i'm just worried that iv'e done to much for the area that iv'e got, i want them to have loads of tops but i also want some room for a good airflow. 
     
    heres a picture of 1 of my plants after i did some defoliation and removed some tops i have 5 like this in 1m2
