Glad I could help
billyboy !
I won't say I'm the guy that invented this because I'm not lol. However, I did find this method myself before I ever read up on it. Then
LurkingInTheGrass pointed me to a different site saying, "hey, look at this guy's method. It looks like the same thing you're doing."
Sure enough, it was, and he had me by about a year I think.
Anyway, this guy grew photos using this method because:
1. Yielded more than just topping and LST.
2. It took less time than doing the full mainline procedure.
It was the best of both worlds, and it's worked wonders for me!
I still get some small plants. My last Trainwreck I took down yielded maybe 2 ounces, probably less. However, it has definitely allowed me to grow some monsters, and improved the average yield I get off of a plant. My last plant I took down got 11 ounces (an auto).
Once again, glad I could help you out. That's what this site is all about, isn't it?
