  • im gunna do it

  • Megadeth intro - :D

  • i top em, or tipping as i call it, to take cuttings to grow more plants,I never top plants for the sake of it,when you tip or top the plant goes into shock momentarily to recover,thus slowing down the growth and development of the plant.Fortunately I can grow indoors or outdoors and i don't have to worry about them getting too big.LoL. Nice vid mate

  • When you do this will the plant grow any taller? or are to big buds just gunna grow and thts it- Someone Plz Help

  • @NationCannabis420 yes 2 big buds will grow and it wont grow taller...and if you want after you top it to get those 2 big buds..you can top the 2 new tops, thus making 4 crown buds...its verry affective for small grow areas especially with height constraints...you can top it as mutch as you want provided you have a good enough nutrience but dont go crazy:) start topping above the third node, and go from there

  • coo nice info

    

  • is this the way to make plants grow shorter and wider because that is really what i need for my space

    

  • @themodmancarl for that you want to lst this i think just improves yield

  • Yes, you can't "overtop" because of bud-weight issues, and even if you're prepared to support the new weight of more buds with string-supports, in some species the power of the smoke will be lowered. Though that said, there are species that can be topped repeatedly but thats INDOORS, Though OUTDOORS with hidden crops one has a security issue to stay discreet and keep securing the extra weight of these extra buds via topping too much, though topping TWICE and NO more than that is usually fine.

  • Nice videos man! check out my tutorial on topping and F.I.Ming! peace man keep growing

  • ever heard of the uncle ben method ? just tried it on my first grow, fingers crossed it works out. check it out

  • I would have never figured that out. NOT . Bore me again please.

  • how many times the plant can be topped?

  • @funnyguy70s

    a lot. :-)

  • wont it just grow back..?

  • Noooooooooo!!!! You'd get better results with training, super cropping, and lollipopping.

  • isnt it basicaly cutting off the next set of fan leaves?

  • I just walk over to the plant and pinch or cut the 1st 2nd or 3rd node doesnt really require so much care or thought pinch/cut done! Why complicate something so simple?

  • thats like circumcising your lady mate

  • dude sounds like a stoned luke wilson

  • Thanks for the video! I was a little unclear on topping. Do you know if topping plus supercropping would yield more results, or is that not recommended?

  • Holy Wars and the Punishment due.. Megadeth.. GREAT TUNE for an intro!

  • @landryjeanluc I meant fertilizing like with a male plant and i grow organic

  • if your planning on fertilizing your plants DONT it makes your bud less potent when when the female is fertilized completely all thc and resin production stops so my advice is if you want seeds have just one plant in a seperate area that gets fertilized

  • @VajDestruction you need to use a specific fertiziler for flowering and you need to stop before the end of the flowering stage and flush your plants. but you shouldn't not furtilize them

  • How many times you can top a single plant?

  • Some lovely looking veg - what lights did you use?? Those are some VERY Dense and healthy looking plants. Some kind of indica I assume.

    I think your point is to do at a smaller point rather than larger (lower down) and the plant will handle it bet. Won't the two branches from the lower node also become tops as well?

  • can you get high of it?

  • @nemen91 nope, thc and other cannabanoid production doesnt really begin until flowering , and even at 8 weeks of flower many strains arent ready to be cut yet. learn about tricromes, terpenes and phenols. and how to tell when theyre ripe

  • @916wetcustoms shit! sounds like you are pro!!! imma look in to it! thanks for the response :)

  • @nemen91

    Lol. :D:D:D::D:D:D:D

  • @radioweckah haha I tried it out anyways and I got a little high xD

  • @nemen91

    Then you had the wrong stuff, mate. 

  • @radioweckah shit! :S like what? I didnt actually top it then? :(

  • @nemen91

    I don't know what was wrong with your stuff, but something actually failed. But just keep it up. ;)

  • This video was cool, well played

  • Best tutorial on youtube for topping.

  • attitude & Green House..(good vid Bro)

  • @yz100f if they are that broke that they can't afford a .com website they just need to stop. Like I said attitude and sensible seeds are the top 2. Attitude is best in the seed business. Fool!

  • best tut for topping on youtube :) really helped me i just plucked it off instead of cutting though seems to work better.

  • How old were your plants when you first did this?  How old should they be if you do it a second time for 4 collas?

  • if you need seeds go to dr cannabis.weebly.com they are fast reliable and they take paypal

  • @yz100f ya right use sensibleseeds or the attitude seedbank. anything that is .weebly i would not use.

  • @brianbertz ok well i got mine and they were fresher and germ'd better than mjs.nl and nirvana who keeps their seeds for 5 years = they sent me ten free for advertising here! because of weebly? they need to start somewhere fool

  • im mr. 150k view hahaha!

  • @sanchitodenz great! you win the soggy biscuit

  • nice

    

  • nodds haha

  • luke wilson grows weed!

  • wait is that a male

  • @WhenYourStrange93 not sure what gives you that idea but no, he wouldnt be topping it if it was in the flowering state which is when it's most obvious what sex the plant is. atm it is in the vegetative state and there is no telling at this time whether it is female or male, hope that helps!

  • @spencer7600 well im kind of new to growing and haven't seen much growth from plants but i've heard if they have sacks or little balls commin off then they're a male. i had thought i saw those little balls on it but nevermind i guess its just the leaves comming out haha. at least now i know, thanks man

  • @WhenYourStrange93 Always happy to educate :)

  • Best song I've heard on a topping video! Beautiful plants my friend

  • Oh, and thanks for the video it was very informative.

  • Comment removed

  • baked watching you grass grow O.O

  • Comment removed

  • Hahahaha this guy is destroyed while filming this, but I still got the point. Thanks for the vid.

  • so can u top on hydro grow?

  • @TheBuddylove420 Yeah, infact, it's best for hydro since most hydro growers are using smaller plants. You can then Top them again but that's better for larger plants that can handle the extra weight.

  • They r already on LST aight ?

    They look AWESOME mate...such a great job n clear tutorial..

  • NODES*

    

  • u wrote  a comment on some1 else video sayin pls come watch my video no1 ever come so here i am D

  • @UnCrAzYBoY1998 at least a month before 12/12 photoperiod.

  • What if I made the mistake of cutting the whole top off all together? Won't the side and bottom pistons grow upward to become the new tops?

  • sara torbatis pussey is topped and cut 

  • my plants are 2 weeks old and kinda tall id say the tallest ones a foot can i top and when will they show 5 leaves i have 4 120w agro-lite plant lights on them

  • @665346 make sure those lights are low enough, and you want to wait at least a month to induce flowering after toping, so i'd say go for it, but if your plants are 2 weeks old and a foot tall you probably need more light.

  • @RoamingBo no the light is a lil under a foot above the plants and theres 4 120w plant llights on them i would have the lights closer but it would torch them....i dont know tht much but im sure i have enough light for just 3 plants right? and my plants made there first fully developd 5 bladed leafs today yahhhhh and they have strong sturdy stems one of my plants im sure is a female because its only a foot tall and has 3 nodes with laefs coming out of them looks insane compared to all my others

  • @665346 hmm. if your stems are sturdy then it may just be the strain. I don't know much about the agro-lites, but best of luck and have fun man :)

  • @RoamingBo lolol thx man yeah so far there good grow lights but they produce so much heat idk what to do to keep the temp down i have to fans but ones to powerfull and then the others to weak idk hope my plants like a couple hrs of 100 degrees haha i mean there grown in afganistan and shit and they look happy so idk

  • @RoamingBo oh and one thing do the females start to smell like cannabis first because 2 of my plants smell llike straight up cannabis and the bigger taller one tht looks less bushy has no smell, and is this odd for plants to start smelling like this so soon im just now starting my 3rd week of veg so far its been 2 weeks and these things are growing like crazy ohh and the ones that are bushy and smel like cannabis also are the first ones to get 5 bladed leaves

  • @665346 no, the only way to tell is by the preflowers. I first noticed that the tops of my males looked almost like a dandelion flower that wasn't open yet, know what i mean? like a flower bud, a lighter green than the fan leaves, then i started to get preflowers (about third week on my earlier plants, my latest plant didn't preflower until i put it into flower). wait for your preflowers to know, but DEF get on that heat, 85 is as high as you want it to get, otherwise your growth will slow.

  • @RoamingBo yeah i noticed when its hot they look happy but they dont grow dramaticly like sum days....im trying to bring it down if itd to hot the leaves will curling and they are not dong tht

  • @665346 honestly, i think you should invest in better lighting, if the heat is going to be a problem now it's only going to cause inconsistent tempuratures when the plants are taller. having to keep the lights too far away may cause you some stretching, unless you have decent reflective material. I've T-5 flouros ($200 fixtures) for my young ones, and a Penetrator pro 345w for my flowers (paid about $1,200), both are really low heat really low electricity, and i love the results.

  • @RoamingBo lol lucky im stuck with a ghetto grow for now hahha tomrrow im going to ajust the lights and put foil everywhwere

  • if you cut it lower you'd be holding a clone in your hand....

  • can u smoke the tops?

  • DO YOU ALSO DO CIRCUMCISIONS? YOU HAVE A STEADY HAND

  • Thanks for the vid! Explained it in a very simple way to understand. You've helped! Thanks for the the great upload! When is the best time to top?

  • damn...those plants look happy n healthy!!! good shit man thanx for the vid!!!

  • How much yield do you make topping the plant verses not topping the plant

  • Hey NIce Fucking grow!!!!!

    Just want to know how old were these plants when you topped them, and how long do u wait before topping and beginning flowering stage.

  • When is it better to do it? When it is about 20 cm or more high?

  • can it be done in flowering stage??

  • great info, thanks.

  • very good video ne1. Very in depth. Hats off you too, and thank you.

  • Can I do it also in the lower branches and when the two new top branches come out?

  • @Mattiafederer Yeah that's the concept of pruning to allow more nutrients from the soil to get to the better leaves as opposed to the ones you cut off.

  • Comment removed

  • yoo somebody check out my video.!!! i don't know how to top..its my first time..don't wanna fuck up my plants like...

  • That is one bushy indica!!!

  • what time in the plants life do you do this my 2 babies are nearly 5 weeks old

  • i had 3 tops by doing it once on an outdoor plant

    i'll upload a movie soon

  • can you top auto fem

  • famous words of koma....take the godamn node out!

  • does anyone know where to find this guys new channel?

  • whens the best time to top

    my plant is 17 days young

    maybe 5 inchs tall with about 6 sets leaves

  • @jethrowomber as long as u have at least 1 node under the node ur topping from u can do it anytime after that it all depends on if u want it short or tall i always let my mother hit 3-4 nodes b4 topping my other ones i use for experiementing i top basically right after seedling stage 2nd node as i grow from seeds. but good advice to all begginers out there get u some good ole bag herb/seeds and plant a bunch of them and experiement with them advice/videos etc. and u will find what suits u best.

  • could i top it like every 6 inches and have like 8 offshoots or will this be too much for it

  • @TheCodybarrett You can do it as often as you want as long as you have the space and support the branches after it flowers.

  • thanks for the informative vid. stay green =)

  • Close up video with a fine pointer. The type of videos I like!!

    What is better bending or topping. Anyone???

  • this guy was lit filming this...LOL

  • you top during the veg stage correct. im noob

  • @SoloDolo784 Yes. During the veg stage, at least 2 weeks before you change light cycles.

  • Sorry what you say at the 5:01??? hehehe

  • i thought this method was called FIM?

  • @redballs FIM or "fuck i missed" is a different cut to this and is like an intentional mistake if that makes any sense. try both and see what you prefer.

  • those look like mine.... are they bubba kush?

  • Question: My outdoor plant is about 7-8 weeks old.

    Is there a prefered time to do this, or can it be performed at anytime?

    Thanks.

    P.S. Recommend cutting fan leaves?

  • @MicroNuggets i to am wornding the same im at 7-8 weeks and i see alot of people toping when they are small vegges looks like but idk im starting out

  • @MicroNuggets This can be done at any time after the plant has 2-3 nodes before flowering, don't do it after it starts flowering. I'm confused as to which leaves are fan leaves but about 1-2 months before flowering i take off a third of the large leaves from the top half of the plant. Most people disagree with this method and say no healthy leaves should be removed.

  • @InKa4484 i nvr argue with succes but personally and from my own expierience i nvr remove the big leaves unless they are unhealthy, they pull in c02 they play many more vital roles in the plants life as well, but they DO NOT take from or anyway shape or form effect the production of the flowers as the leaves feed almost completely on nitrogen which the flowers them selves use little to none of this nutrient but removing under leaves is a good thing for air circulation just opinion is all.

  • @smokethatskywalker The reason i remove the leaves is so the sunlight can penetrate deeper into the plant. To each his/her own but I strongly recommend expirimenting, Cannibus is an extremely resilient plant that can take a lot of abuse and still produce.

  • @MicroNuggets you can do it anytime you want as many times as you want just let her recover a lil bit b4 doing it again. i wouldnt recommend doing it after you go into flowering but some do but very early. if ya live in the states i wouldnt cause you are prolly close to harvest

  • @MicroNuggets well when u top is completely up to u myself i start topping mine as soon as the 2nd node is growing its top and i top it then i top each one of them tops as they grow out and repeat but i like my plant short and bushy all ur doing by topping is multiplying ur branches for buds and tricking each one of the branches into thinking its top dog( cola) so u yield far more and no dont take the fan leaves they feed ur plant they are what uses the c02 and pull nuits from the air.

  • @MicroNuggets

    it's better to get all topping/fimming/supercropping done BEFORE your plant starts flowering.

  • @MicroNuggets dont cut your fan leaves thay have stuff the plant needs in there, if you want a massive plant and be able to shape it into a monster bush you should start topping early, but as long as your plant is still in veg go for it

  • @TheStonerweekends

    Thanks for the tips guys, a bit late but I did take some tips from here and just cropped it about a month ago and it turned out beautiful, a stiky and stinky white white widow that Impuffin on right now...super tasty, thanks again!

  • @MicroNuggets Not sure about outdoor but I usually top 1 week before switching to 12/12 indoors. Most likely you wanna do it during veg. No i don't recommend cutting fan leaves.

  • @socalfrijolito do you super crop too?If you flower at only a foot/14", can you still top and super crop the first/2nd sets of lateral branchs???Peace,

  • @THERAMBLNMAN I have never supercropped so I won't even give you false information. Google supercrop and there are a few forums that have tutorials on both methods. Good luck!

  • @socalfrijolito I top and supercrop and have for 15 years inside, just topping is OK< BUt bend and crimp the branches, make them fill every gap, huge yield increase, 15 to 20 colas are not unusual, all the way from bottom[nearly] to top, three pounds from 1200 watts HPS In three months, thats 6 plants!!! THese are lovely, healthy plants though, no doubt:) Nice and compact, no pine trees here!!

  • @THERAMBLNMAN YEs man, but dont expect much weed from plants that young, i give clones about 4 weeks before 12/12, this gives at least 3 toppings and heaps of supercropping!!! HAlf pound plants, two per light, 400sHPS!!

  • @MicroNuggets

    Thanks, I followed this vid for my outdoor White Widow and the technique worked great, I harvested some sticky stinky great bud...

  • @MicroNuggets You can do it any time after the plant has 3-4 nodes. Then you can continue to top all the way until flower, once it is 1week into flower stop topping or you will stress the fuck out of it.

  • @MicroNuggets in flower or veg? dont cut weed off if its in flower.. veg it can be any time, its for height control.

  • yioo. wats the purpose of topping it?

  • @JGouttaftown so you get more tops

  • Why the fuck would anyone do that when you can let them go and get donkey kick colas?

  • dumb hippie.

  • how old do the plants have to be to top them?

  • great video!!! thanks!!!

  • bro i watch a couple other videos on here and i was like these dumbshits dont know what there doin. then seen ne1cangrow and instantly knew this was gonna be right haha

  • dickhead

  • do the tops get you high???/

  • SOMEONE PLZ HELP WHEN ARE INDOOR PLANTS READY TO TOP>??????

  • @harjotnijjar i would do it before it shows it gender but make sure it has the nodes and it has a couple good leaves

  • @harjotnijjar During veg atleast 15 days in then once a week, give it a week b4 you switch them to flower from veg after your last tip to avoid stress, a week into flower you can top again, (but no sooner stress is a factor) make that your last topping job, by this stage you could've done it 4 times, if you know how to tie a plant down properly your bottom
