was wondering if i should top my outdoor sativa dp its gonna get pretty tall im assuming, and i dont want it to droop due to the two heavy colas
no not an auto, breeder description is one pheno , non hybrid sativa. i was curious if it was a type that did better with a single main stem. i couldn't find much on the strain.
From what I understand it's a relativly new strain right? I havn't even heard of it till this season.
my experience is that topping sativas is the best thing to do.. they'll split all over the place if you hit each top to each branch, not only the main cola but every cola.. then get rid of the bottom branches cause they dont really produce anything worth trimming, but look into how to top and fim and lst and supercrop first, before you decide which way to go.. you gotta go with the situation..

Thanks for the help, I don't think I'm going to supercrop since I'm a noob and dont wanna fuck up my plant, I'll probably top. I don't want to LST really, I see no advantages to it of its outdoors and I don't need to hide it.
[quote name='"jPinkham"']I think lst works amazing outdoors, I've had increased yields with it indoor and outdoor[/quote] I agree. Increasing light to inner branches and making the plant branch out more is VERY beneficial outdoors. It's not just about hight, it's about yielding more and maximizing sun exposure to your buds.
Somebody told me to just cut the lower branches off lol. And how early should I start LSTing you think? Like 5 weeks in? How many branches up/down?

if its a full sativa you'll see what I mean by thinning out the crappy bottom branches.. little tiny sucker branches that form not even half gram buds..
lanky swag you shit, start your own thread . the question was should moroc from female seeds be topped or does it do better as a single stem plant?
^ Hahaha like I said, Me and Lanky are GC thugs, we jacked the north eastern growers thread and now Lankys moving on to his next target.

I'm 19 man not trying to lie to you. And it's not like were pirates or something he just had a quick question, theres no need to be pissed. I'm sure as soon as someone who knows about your strain reads the thread, they'll be glad to help you.
