Re: Topping,
All topping is pruning but not all pruning is topping...
man I can't give you more rep yet but I will for this one too. gonna try n get you for all these handy threads. great pictures and infos.
I do disagree that "topping" and "pruning" are synonymous. I prune to decrease horizontal growth and increase bud size on the remaining vertical growth. if I were topping, I would be pruning, but I would have to add veg time to see results. topping results in lots of branching but pruning increases air flow and also focuses plant resources on select areas. So while they are similar and interchangeable in the case of topping, not so much in the case of pruning.
