I tried one before but never really liked how it makes them turn out. Felt like I ended up with a lot of the crystals just falling off my buds. It's a lot more work to hand trim but it really shows in the final product! I'll always stick to hand! Cheers and happy growing!

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?
