Topping or training?

Bingo86started grow question 5y ago

I'm looking for advice, tips, suggestions or anything please. She's still short for her age Comparing her with most grows I've seen on here but her branches now have branches shooting out all over the place. I'm thinking if I top her then I can LST.

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

LST during flowering?Hey all, do you keep adjusting and opening up the plant throughout flowering to improve light and air penetration into the canopy? She's getting further along flowering and I don't want to negatively impact it but the branches were so tight they weren't drying after rain.

Snapped a branch. How worried should I be?Snapped the main stem during LST, right below the main cola on SLH(just starting flower). Braced it with ducktape and propped it with some bamboo. At this point, everything else looks fine, so I'm just pretending it's not there. How worried should I be? Anything else I should do?

Praying leaves The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand). It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign? I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.
