Hello, I'm considering doing LST and topping at the same time. Is it okay for the ladies or is it too much stress at once?

It's fine, top the plant first and then bend her over for a nice even canopy, keep tying the tallest ones down

LST and Topping
I am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?
My plants are now in week 3, and I want them to grow bushy instead of tall. I have plant clips that can bend at 90 degrees here. Is that ready? Or would topping be the better option?

Are my 2 auto’s at a stage where I should be topping them?
Are my plants at the stage where I should be either topping or trying out some LST? First time grower here, so not sure if I should be doing any training, just to see how it goes. Any help would be super appreciated!

Topping or no topping? Or any training?
High! Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉 What do you think? Thank you very much✊

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

Tropicana bananna-стресс или моя ошибка
Hello guys Help.... 700W LED Full spectrum IS IT TRUE?!?!.. Tropicana banana - week 11, growth has stopped, fertilizer - florra trio (according to the chart), could it be that I got stress during LST? Or during topping? The main thing! I don't know when to switch to 12/12. This is my first photoperiod.

Is now the time to top?
Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!
