Pruning/Topping methods

I have searched around the forums and have not found a proper guide for pruning and topping, Im not quite sure what topping is, and i would like to know the best methods (or most practiced) for each. Any Takers?


(Also i have a few still unsanswered questions in my other thread https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/316206-n00b-help-ideas-2.html
