Great read
I have one stupid question
How to train plant to produce 6 colas?
I have small box. I can fit 4 plants, in 3 gallon pots, topped for 4 main colas and lollopoped. And there is still some free space. I like to have different strains and this time two of them will be sativa leaning hybrids. I want train them for 6 colas. I hope that that will help with hight control and fill some space.
So, wich is easyest way to acomplish that?

just top a lil higher so you have more nodes to grow into branches and into colas. or top your your 4 tops two nodes up so you have 8 tops.

There are numerous options. As with children, the best time to begin training a plant is when it is young. As stems age, they become harder and woodier, making them more difficult to bend without breaking. New growth, on the other hand, is extremely adaptable.

This is how i train my plants. I grow seedlings in beer cups and as they grow i tie the main branch around the cup to make a spiral as shown in this drawing. So when i transplant them in the 3 gallon pots they are short and bushy thus Giving all the flowers a chance to grow the same size.. Then i train the branches around the pot when i switch to 12-12.
This method also works in vertical gardens you're just trying to grow around the pole.
