It makes perfect sense nutrients from the medium is delivered to all the shoots through the main stalk. When you cut the top of the plant off you end the
Stalk. At this point two shoots (side branches) become a divided top of the plant. Im not saying it divides the potency in half, as someone earlier suggested. Why doesnt that make sense. Its beside the point. The point is theres been quite a few people agree with me on the miracle grow issue. And they are all people that have burned plants with it and know exactly what it looks like.
It makes perfect sense nutrients from the medium is delivered to all the shoots through the main stalk. - True

When you cut the top of the plant off you end the Stalk. - True, but seeing as how this was the natural end of the line for nutrients it had nowhere else to go. So whats your point?

At this point two shoots (side branches) become a divided top of the plant. - True, thats the point.

So is the cola more potent because the plants hormones allow it to be more potent compared to lower branches? Or is it because its closer to the light source than the lower branches?

If it's the first case (that relative potency is a function of hormones) then it absolutely makes sense that topping will increase overall yield. You have more branches programmed as "main colas" now.

If it's the second case (that the cola is more potent because it's closer to the light) then it absolutely makes sense that topping will increase overall yield. You now have more colas closer to the light.

"Why doesn't it make sense" - For the reasons I just explained. The logic that the cola is the most potent part of the plant, therefore cutting the tip of the plant off means you lose thc would ONLY make sense if you are cutting off the cola once it starts to develop. And in that case I agree with you, cutting off partially formed bud would not only make you lose that bud but would stress the plant and cause energy to go from making new bud to repairing itself. But if the topping is done in the vegetative state and the plant it allowed to recover and become healthy then I don't see how it makes sense that its detrimental to the bud.

a great post and noble effort but to try to talk sense to the senseless falls on deaf ears but i agree with your post

The upper-most growing tip of an unpruned marijuana plant will always be more potent that the top buds of a pruned plant grown in similar conditions. Pruning the tallest branches ensures that the lower branches grow upwards, forming a larger surface area for the light to cover. The clear fluid that often flows from the end of a newly pruned branch, contains substances which seal the wound and aid the healing process. Although it is recommended that you remove all dying leaves from the plant, you should resist the temptation to prune too many healthy leaves. To grow seedless marijuana, you should remove all the male plants as soon as they are discovered, by pruning the main stem right above the ground if grown in soil, or removing the plant from a hydroponic garden. Although it may be better developed, a pruned marijuana plant does not always produce more buds than an unpruned plant. Another good reason for pruning is to take cuttings from a strong growing, favorite plant for further hydroponic development. Marijuana growers often prune their plants in an attempt to limit their height and prevent unwanted detection. An alternative to pruning for developing growth, is to bend the tops of the branches over and tie the growing tips down with string or wire. Remember that by pruning a growing tip, you are removing the most potent part of the plant, thereby spoiling it's chance of reaching full maturity. By pruning all the buds at harvest time, rather than cutting the stem off above the ground, you could easily harvest your plant a second time. By severely pruning your marijuana plants you are lowering their resistance to harmful natural enemies such as insects, fungus and temperature fluctuations. I guess ol jorge doesn't know what he's talking about either. And again I AM NOT SAYING pruning is a bad thing. Whatever works best for you. I AM SAYING when you cut off the main shoot you are cutting off the tip that will be your most potent smoke. And fanfag you're a moron. Plain and simple. You must not have a life.

that is a fucked up thing to say and anyone that is friends with him is my enemy and i will ride their ass to the floor like the itch they are and doc im sorry for those remarks he said i know he is a pos but im sure those comments are hurtful and u have my respect for your service and the comment about 343 :fire:
Thanks man.
I don't let what he says bother me. I've had people say worse. The fact he would use my injury as ammo for his little "hatefest" tells me the kind of person he is and it just makes me have pity for his sorry ass.:sad:
