    Topped one of my smaller cannabis plants about 3 to 4 days ago to help increase growth and yield.

    Is this how the result should look begin to look?
    Starting to look like secondary growth to me, or will they eventually turn into separate nodes like the results of topping would?

    Thanks [​IMG]

  3. Thanks, would i be able to top one of those nodes that are a result of topping when they grow?

  4. Yeah you can top them as much as you would like. I have to warn you tho if you too them a lot you'll end up with branches all over the place

  5. They are the start of two new branches - a node is the space between leaf sets.

  6. Looks great, a trick my mentor taught me was to rip the tips of the fan leaves that feed those two nodes right before topping, it'll redistribute the growth hormones from the meristem which you're about to chop off anyways down to those 2 nodes making them grow fast, try an experiment by rippin the tips off a few fans and watch the connected node, it's crazy at times how fast they bush out after topping

  7. That’s 2 nodes depending on how many you want to achieve ( mainlining ) you can go up to 8 heads for indoor grows and 16+ outdoor grows I found this method here ( "Main-Lining" Tutorial by Nugbuckets: Train Marijuana Plants for Bigger Yields & Flat Canopies | Grow Weed Easy ) and I haven’t had any issues and one of my best harvest
     
  8. Here’s a picture of my first attempt the main should of been more of a T shape instead it’s more of a Y shape. And the other picture is the result of it. Hope it helps
