Thanks ripz i hear people say they top at 4th or 5th node is this right?

 

[Skunky]

ok do you include the node where the one blade leaves are? or should i go up one more node.

 

[Skunky]

Where should i start counting the nodes from?

ok hers how it works - if if you top right under the new growth growing out you will end up with 2 tops instead of just one- now if you wait till there r 5-6 nodes and cut the node below the top you will end up with 4 tops instead :cool0010:

so you can get multiple tops instead of just one - the advantage is more yield and more colas which in turn will make u :sun2:

It also controls the hieghth of the plant. I top between the 4 or 6th node depending on how tall and how fast they are growing. Root

By no means am I a practiced hand, a noob by many standards but...

I am trying them with 6 nodes this run. 4 on the outside of my tomato cage and 2 out the top. I might try to FIM node 5 to get 2 out the top instead.
