@MrHyde, only the lateral branches grow once topped. It's counterproductive to top a plant that you want a bunch of lateral branches to form. HSTing the top not only switches the vertical growth to lateral growth, but also acts as a whole nother branch that will keep spitting out more branches. Topping a plant you are going to scrog adds on a lot more time than you think. Take a look at my "gdp for reals" diary. You can see the difference it makes over weeks of growth.
