Single plant. Trained and topped... a few times. Over a hundred colas 😂🤣🤷🏻‍♂️ I personally believe there is no limit

I’m doing the manifold method this round and couldn’t be happier so far. Google Nebula Manifold. Basically:
  • When plants have 4 full nodes or more, top to just above 3rd node and remove everything below it, leaving only the set of 3rd node fan leaves and shoots
  • When the two new main stems have 4 nodes or more, repeat
  • This will give each plant 4 main stem colas (or you can leave nodes 1 and 3 on the second topping to get 8 main stems, if you have the space)
  • When you switch to 12/12, remove all fan leaves from the middle down
  • The goal is to keep a flat canopy of big colas
[/QUOTEH]Hey dreamgreen, ehen you did the manifold technic how did you control all the little shoots that came up in the center of you 8, 16 or 32 colas? When I did the manifold, the 16 colas were huge and really long but had a bunch of smaller shots come up in the middle. I've attached a few pics.

Nice! I keep everything cleared from the middle down, or basically from the bottom of the 4 main stems down (or 8, 16, whatever). Any growth tips/fan leaves above that, on the main stems themselves, are left alone.

depending on the strain 3 days dry will work - like you said the stem "break's" = ready for the cure !!! Nice

Once you top, give the plant a week to recover before doing any more. You can top as many times as you want. But stop topping the plant at least two weeks before sending it into flower. Otherwise you’ll end up with small Y shaped buds on the branches that were topped right before flowering.

It’s your preference depending on your goals, like how many branches your trying to develop. You can top the next node if you like. I just like to give them a week in between topping events. Because topping is moderately stressful for the plant.
