I've also only been here for a short time, but I've now used LST plus topping on three plants and it has worked very well every time. If you don't do anything, your lady will only grow up into your lamp. Since you get a lot more problems with and only a small harvest. I wouldn't recommend FIMing though. Didn't work for me at all...

LST + SOG - Should/could I remove the LST ties once I place a trelace net over the plants? My plants haven't grown upwards much due to the training/tying down to the pot... A tent and filtration are enroute to support operation, prior to flowering...

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

HST or LST for short plants?Should a plant with very small internodal distance get topped or is LST + scrog probably enough to open her up?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

What Should I Do?I'm planning on swazzing this next week and was wondering if maybe I should bend those long ass shoots to fall on my ring when I do? In my head it would even the canopy and get more exposure in the same. Am I wrong? Should I do it or just swazz and go? Any input would be greatly!
