Why do you top your plants?
2x2growingstarted grow question 4 years ago
This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)

I love me some LST.. And Topping Changes the Branch structure that's all in my opinions as well. Why do so much damage when you can just do this? I think a lot of people just do all the training because they can.. It doesn't really help their yield or anything. It's just some people really like having 4 huge buds. I like lots of buds.

Mainline is a great way to get some fat nugs and a great structure on a plant. However I've found that your environment needs to be on point especially when you have big colas , as they're more prone to mold. But if you can keep that humidty low mainline is the best plant training method imo. It does take a bit more time in veg but with the right genetics you can get a huge yield in a small space. With no popcorn bugs underneath.
Looks like you have trained your girl well you'll have some nice sized buds on her. She's ready to start flowering. :) Good luck 🌱

I like the look of that mate, I can appreciate training like this, love training them. I've got a mephisto grizzly crinkle auto I topped 7 times, no defol or lollipopping though, looks tidy I reckon. Good luck mate, I'll look forward to giving this a go 😁

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

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).

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!! 😊

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?

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!

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?

HST tipsHi, my grow brothers and sisters!
I'm planning to do HST training to largest one of my plants, cos it is (to my joy) - too big. Other babies for, like, two times smaller now. I'll do this for the first time and I'm really nervous about it.
Any tips for me to do it right enoughWeek 4

I've been doing autos for a while and I'm used to lst. This being my first fem run, I'm wanting to keep the height of these as uniform as can be, any tips on when I should start training them and any opinions/suggestions on things I can do to increase my yield.

Bruce Banner specific needsI was wondering what specific needs does the Bruce Banner #3 strain needs for climate and nutrients, grow calendar and training techniques but my grow space is small : 60 x 40 cm. (23 x 15 inches) so I should probably go for a sog, big bud or lollypopping. ThanksSetup. Strains - Photoperiod
