how do you top a plant so it can get really bushy? do you just squeeze the part of the branch right under the heads?

You cut it with a clean blade. It's preferred that you do it above the true second node, which will give you 4 main colas. If you supercrop [google it] after that you can yield yourself a lot of green.

clean blade would be nice in a lab, but i've never lost to the old pinch method. Kinda reading to much into it. But i supercropped mine all year and topped them 4x with my dirty finger's.

topping is great but its all in what you want from your plant. mu current grow 1 plant topped once 1 twice and the one in my avi 3 times. 1 nice huge cola is something to behold though. your choice. goodluck

I may be late but a lot people have this misconception that if you have more than 1 cola you will get more bud. This is wrong topping and lst are just techniques of growing that maximize your grow according to your setup.

If you have a weak HPS or are doing a cfl grow more than one cola would be helpful, but otherwise you will still get the same amount with one main cola minus the shock of topping.
