Is it possible to top and supercrop (bending the branches) a plant at the same time.
is there any way to create more then 4 colas
my plant which i will be experimenting on is between a foot and 2 foot high?
any other advice on what i can do to my plant to increase the yield, i have more plants so i can afford to mess up, ive never done anything other then grow the plant as it is no chopping or whatnot.
cheers:-P

Yes, you can top, fim, supercrop many times if you like. It will just get bushier as long as the roots have room to grow and they are fed a proper nutrient formula.

Abosolutely. I actually employ 3 methods-topping, supercropping and lollypoping. Here is a pic of my Durban Poison, 26 days into flowering. I started flowering it at 20" high and it is now about 28" and has multiple tops.

As soon as there are 4 or 5 nodes then I cut the lowest sets of branches off, and top. After about 2 weeks, the lower branches will start gaining on the tops, now is the time to supercrop any of the top branches that are above the lowers. The idea is to make all the tops of all the branches uniform. Continue cutting off any lower branches that look weak right at the main stalk, and continue topping any lower branches that start getting close to the top of the plant. Refrain from any "growth management" for 2 weeks before beginning flowering and you will get a fat bush!

I used this technique on the garden in this pic, 5 plants total but massive amounts of tops.
