Should I top my LST'd plants, or leave them?
NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5 years ago
Depends on the space you are trying to fill.
I top for other reasons too.. it slows a dominant branch down a tad. it helps increase density of vertical shoots in an area... all good reasons... have a reason to do it. Make sure there's enough time afterward that it doesn't diminish yield. If it can't be a strong vertical shoot even with canopy by the time bloom is in full effect, it's not worth it.

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia.
Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed.
What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!
