Toping vs tucking the top down

Manitoba_Medicalstarted grow question 4 years ago

This is my first time not toping my plant and am focusing on LST in by just tucking the top under my screen. Has anyone else done this and what were your results.

I personally don't top, but I do know that tucking them under the screen( LST or Scrog) is what everyone does when doing training techniques, it works great to create a wide canopy without causing stress to the plant. So your perfectly fine tucking the leaves under the screen.

What is a good method of training for increasing pistol site development and bud growth. I'm currently doing LST and just tucking fan leaves out if the way if developing sites. Is it okay to remove leaves at this point blocking sites? Should I wait till flowering and just tuck?

Topping and LST (Not autos) I've topped before, but was wondering can you achieve the same yield just LSTing without topping, or is it best to do both? I know there's lots of info online but i feel more reassured listening to you guys lol, cheers

Does my autoflowering plant look okay after topping I did topping on week #3 and have been doing LST during the last 4 days. I feel I over-stressed the plant. Seems like it's to small for it's age. Please take a look at the photos I have attached and say: Does my plant look okay as for a middle of the 4th week of vegetation?😐
