takes a day or two for the plant to bend back straight again.
If your
plants can not be moved, such as in the case of hydroponics in
conjunction with a ScrOG grow, then you may have to tie your plants
up so that they do not bend.

If you are outdoors and you have a massive problem with this
then you may have to cut away some surrounding foliage to allow
more light to get in at your plants. If you can not do this then try to use
a small stake and thread, such

Pruning:
Many a marijuana cultivator have taken a pair of clippers to
the top of their plant just above the last branch formation during the
3rd or 4th week of vegetative growth. The top is removed by shearing
it away at the stem. This can also be done during the thinning stages.

What happens next is that the main stem may split off in two or more
directions. This creates a V shape at the top of your plant.

results after flowering are two or more top colas instead of one. Now,
many a cannabis grower will tell you that this is a great thing to do
and sometimes it is. Two top colas instead of one does sound appealing
but alas it must be said that this TOPPING method of pruning does not
always work out the way you think it will.

Sometimes the plant will produce two small top colas instead
of two big ones. This really depends on the strain and the
environment. Many a grower have managed to bring a plant into
growing more than six top colas by this method. Each strain will have
a threshold for bud production, which can not be improved on. Some
plants when grown fully without pruning do not reach their threshold.
The strain Blueberry is a good example of this. If you grow blueberry
without topping you will not achieve maximum bud production from
that plant, but if you do top the blueberry you will. Other strains

not so flexible and by topping you will not increase bud production.
The two top colas will simply be sharing the same volume of bud that
a single cola would have produced on the same strain. So pruning for
production is strain related and grow related. You need to find a strain

that responds well to topping.
It is advised that you experiment with this pruning method.

various drugs vary tremendously from culture to culture, and this prevailing cultural climate may have a
strong effect on the user. Classical Islamic culture, for instance, prohibits the use of alcohol but
sanctions marijuana use. Our American culture as a whole believes marijuana produces undesirable and
dangerous effects, and this knowledge may very well influence an individual user at times, in spite of
subcultural support of marijuana smoking. In our culture, feelings of paranoia (e.g., fear that there may
be a policeman watching) are frequent and normal, although experienced users generally treat them
rather objectively rather than getting concerned about them in a maladaptive fashion.
Personality affects marijuana reactions. Users commonly believe, for example, that authoritarian
people, who are not open to new ways of perceiving and thinking, either get no effects at all from
smoking marijuana or have very unpleasant effects. They try to maintain their ordinary way of
perceiving and thinking against the drug effects.
There is a large psychological literature on the way in
which personality factors affect reactions to a wide variety of psychoactive drugs other than marijuana.
Overall physiological functioning shows very similar patterns in healthy individuals; i.e., their bodily
reactions to a given drug are similar enough to not be important. For some drugs and/or for some
individuals, however, unique physiological factors might

information on this for marijuana, but it should be kept in mind as a potential source of variability.
Learned drug skills are particularly important in marijuana intoxication.
A neophyte commonly must
use marijuana several times before becoming aware of its effects; he must learn to recognize certain
subtle effects that indicate he is intoxicated (see, e.g., Becker, 1953). With increasing experience and
contact with other marijuana users, the neophyte learns of other effects that he may try to experience
himself and of techniques for controlling his intoxication experience (see Chapter 17). He may learn to
reproduce many of the usual effects of intoxication without actually using marijuana, as in "contact
highs" (feeling intoxicated just by being with intoxicated companions) or "conditioned highs" (feeling
intoxicated to some extent by the action of preparing to use marijuana).
Immediate user factors include several factors that assume particular values for hours to days before
using a drug, such as mood, expectations as to what will happen, and desires for particular happenings.
Mood is particularly important with a drug like marijuana, as many users report the intoxicated state
amplifies whatever mood they were in before taking the drug (see Chapter 16). If they were happy, they
may become very happy; if they were sad, they may become particularly gloomy. An experimental stu
