Spaced your request...
I apologize for not throwing up some root/trunk shots, I'm updating tonight and I'll try to get you a trunk shot, the roots aren't that exciting, very colored and brown and on certain varieties stay in the cube mainly and it's hard to lift the cube to get a shot of the bottom with the trellis n such.
But I'll get you a trunk shot to compare to a cola shot on same plant.
The trunks are fairly skinny tho for fatty nugs, I've noticed it's strain dependent a lot of the time, the ole axiom that if it's a wide base(trunk) it will hold huge fruit gets knocked out of the park when you start messing with OG hybrids, the OG base is pinner and the branches are ridiculously skinny but hold rock hard dense indy nugs!! But it is true a lot of the time that the fattest trunk will hold biggest nugs as it has room to act like a superhighway for xylem/phloem flow.
As far as topping, I pretty much top everything if I'm going with a 10-14 day veg period; if I'm only vegging for 5-10days I won't top as it takes time for the plant to restructure and depending on the genetics isn't good to top right before flower transition occurs. When I top I typically leave 4-7 branches depending on the kind and I super crop all main branches! When I don't top I super crop it hard and I end up supercropping all main branches and many secondary branches that are in the main canopy.
I def didn't listen to Soma in his book when he mentions only do one bend on a plant and give it a week to heal...would take a month or longer to do the supercropping with his methodology.
Instead I bend the hell out of all main branches(4-7) of em and by the next day the plant is thriving so hard and bulking up and throwing it down! Only takes a day or two and that plant is totally normal and processing more fluid flow as a result, and the hormonal shift it produces account for those beautiful top buds being more plentiful, bigger, and denser.
I have actually only grown One pheno of Chronic and it was very central bud dominant and fairly short on transition jump...I'd say that none of these varieties grow anything like that except for the D King is closer to that structure. But anything OG is gonna be branchy, longer internodes and such, but it's amazing the nugs OG produces with these "blade of grass thick branches"! Hope that helps
