LOL good drainage is a must!!!!!!! if you don't have good drainage how are your roots suposed to breath??? *yes your roots need air too*

I use a soil mixture that is 40% sand, 20% that white stone shit *don't know the name at the moment&* and 40% compost.


sand really really helps with drainage

Is topping as simple as making a straight cut across where the buds are starting to appear? Or can someone describe in detail how to properly top. I am thinking of growing 20 plants outside this coming spring and i will probably try topping a couple to see how they do.

what you do is you let your plants go 5-7 nodes of growth *node = branch set*

snip the top like a 1/2" - 3/4" above that node and let it grow.... if you let it grow a bit bigger and cut it back to the 5th node... you can clone the top ;)
