i want to try uncle bens topping method.
It says to top at the secon TRUE node.
can anyone tell me exactly what that means. It says to not count the "codelions" (i may have misspelled that)
does this mean that the first node dosent count?
or does that just mean the origional weird leaves dont count but the first node does?
thanks

the first set of leaves is round...the second set is jagged but only one leaf....the third set is the true set with more than one leaf per side usually like 3 leaves and more every set.

Im not a botanast but I believe you are correct.

Its the 2nd set of jaggy leaves that apear. Thats the way i do mine, ( at about 2-3 weeks old) an it makes em bushy for sure.

Keep your cfls close at this time an your stem will disapear with new growth.

But some times it dont make as many tops i think is kinda gentic?

You guys ever do a search? The search feature should be used before you ask the same question a millions times. Since you were participants, you know this issue was recently discussed here:

What is it that you don't get?

I've noticed with many clones that you'll never have matching sets - meaning, the two sides will not be across from eachother, and will be staggered all the way up the trunk.

I know I could just count pairs up the trunk, but I'm wondering: will topping work very well for these types of plants?

Look at the cotyledon.
Look above it, there will be 2 leaves with 2 (possibly) dormant axial stems.

Each leaf coming from the main stem has a possibility of being a main growing point.

If you want 2 main branches, cut above the first set of non-cotyledon leaves.

If you want 4 main branches, cut above the 2nd pair of non-cotyledon leaves. (leaving 4 possible branches)

The more growing points you leave, the more divided growth will be.

I get that reading comprehension is not your strongest suit, and that some of you guys are too lazy to read or do a search. I explained in plain English what I consider the first true node in consideration of topping at the page I linked you to plus a scattering of photos including those on the first page. This isn't rocket science. If you can't get such a simple concept after I and many others explained in text and multiple pictures then I suggest you try another hobby or method of training.

Here is another that won't bother to read. Clue - read the last page of my topping thread.

Sheesh!

first node in my book is the first set of single serrated leaves. second node is above that usually the first set of 3 fingerd leaves, but sometimes in some strain you will get 2 sets of single serrtaed leaves...

what a douche !!!!!
i understand not being a cock is not your strong suit. However, I am not sure why someone asking a question to be thorough is offensive to you?
But since it is ...
i got an idea ...
dont answer it !!

and another thing smart guy
if everyone keeps asking the same question over and over
maybe you didnt explain it as clearly as you think


put that in your pipe and smoke it
you punk.

All i want to do is learn as much as i can. If you dont have anything positive to contribute then dont contribute.

the idea that someone posting a question (among the thousands of questions posted a day) is somehow offensive or somehow ruining your day is ridiculous. get over yourself.
