Once my plants have 6 nodes, I clip the plant just above that 6th node. After three weeks or so, it has branched out to two stems from the original cut. Once the two new stems have two nodes, I clip both of them again above their secind nodes. The results, as pictured below are four nice fat colas. I then LST those colas horizontally, using ten pegs and string, allowing the lower 'popcorn' buds to develop. This works very well for me on outside grows...
