I personally prefer lst over hst as this is quicker and less stressful for the plant. There is fimming but this is more for seeds plants. If you do clones lst and get rid of unwanted shoots in first two weeks of flower. Not all at once as this will stress the plant excessively. I veg clones for two weeks then lst for one week and let them free again for last week and switch to 12/12. Then within two first weeks i get rid of exess and position those i want staying with gardening wire where i want them. And then defoliate them as i go thru flower
