Ahhhhhh...A new year, a new system, and a new show!! The girls have started off the big bang a bit differently. The key last round was very early topping. I like to top my clones when they are very small(3 to four inches tall).Ive missed that time with these clones.
Getting three main stalks is perfect in my books, but more are possible.
These girls may be a done a little differently this time. I may try some lst to achieve the same thing as topping. They are fairly sick looking so I need to give them some time, to recover before playing with them. I may still top them. At this point i'll just wait and see, who knows maybe the nets may come back out.
In anycase the point of any of the techniques LST, topping, SCOG, pruning is to achieve multiple strong main stalks for multiple colas. I have tried all of them, and my prefered method is early childhood topping. Ive got it somewhat mastered.
Normal plant growth will give you one main stalk & multiple branches.When a plant is topped early, the new growth becomes the multiple stalks from which branching will emerge. I only prune maybe 2-3 times during veg, just to clean up any unwanted growth off of my main stalks.
As I said before i like to top my clones generally around the 6-8 inchs tall. from the topped area, 2-4 new nodes will emerge. These are the main stalks. Whatever grows off of them you want up high(halfway up the plant) I buck everything off of these(main stalks) halvways down at bloom time.
