Sure, that will give you 4 main colas. Some grow out further and top above the fourth node and then remove 1 and three branches to allow 2 and 4 to form 4 colas on each side. Nebula's tutorial on Manifold is your best resource. I went a little further by topping above 5 and removed 2 and 4, leaving 1, 3 and 5 to form 6 colas per side for 12 total and did a lot of LST.

TOKABIGONE Thanks I’m not doing a manifold, just want to know if I can top growth tips after just one mode.

Yes, you should then have 2 colas on each side. If each growth node is healthy. 2 branches

Hey AA, Nice Bush! Healthy and Happy! Will you try to defol in a couple weeks? They will really need it by then I think. Keep good air flowing around the base by fan if you can.

Yeah that’s looking nice newbutoldgrower75 Yes photos and will top again after 2nd set of leaves.

TOKABIGONE hahaha..AA. I really should have thought about the repercussions of that post before posting it lol. I'm definitely going to do a good defoliation and lollipop the girls around 3 weeks into 12/12 light schedule, once they finish the stretch. My last grow was quite bushy as well, I think it was ChadWestport mentioned it reminded him of a bush from the 70's haha. I have the floor fan facing up into the plants slightly, plus another fan between the lights and canopy. Plus the one pushing the heat down from the top of the light.3rd indoor grow in 15 years.

Cheeba Thanks buddy. I like to spend a bit of time with the plants everyday training and tucking leaves. It can be time consuming, but hoping its worth it in the end. Look forward to seeing some photos of yours mate. Good luck.3rd indoor grow in 15 years.
