Depends, they all work great. TOPing is easier; FIMing works great but you don't know how colas will result afterwards. LST is a bit more intensive in the work required, but has the advantage of not delaying the grow process, usually TOP or FIM will take a week for the plant to recover.

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

LSTGood day!
I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST.
The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.
Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it?
Thx!

Two main branches split the stalk due to over trainingI topped an autoflower plant, and I over trained it. The plant stalk has split between the two main branches that are being trained. I removed the training wire hoping that the plant will heal itself. Is there anything else I should do or put on it to help it heal?

Can a plant be too thick and bushyDoes anybody think these ladies are too thick and bushy. I've done quite a bit a HST to her. I just kept bending her over till the bucket was full. My aim is to improve yield and have more big colas. And this is just two separate girls btw

Brownish stem color after supercroppingIs it normal that the stem turns brownish at the bending site, on all four supercropped plants? It must be, since all flowers and leaves are looking perfectly healthy on the bent apexes, but still I wonder whether it may become weak spots later. Thanks!

Remove lowest autoflower shoots? Yes or no?Hi there!! I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to autoflowers..
What would you say.. when the stretch is done, should I prune (remove the lowest 2 shoots & secondary shoots)?
Normally I would do that to a photoperiod, but this one grows really quick. Thank you!! 😊

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Snapped (Superscropped) autoglowerWell, my idiot ass accidentally cropped (when you not break but flatten) the main stem during flower. The top of the stem.
I did it before to photoperiods, but i wonder, will it make a lot of stress? If so girl could be a hermo? If so, could it affect other girls later?
