I made an experiment , only LST really makes a difference to the final weight, topping just keeps the plants short. Hope this helps ! ๐

Autos really should never be topped... much too stressful for them since they're pre-programmed to do things at a certain time. Stick to LST!
Good luck with your grow!

Wow pics of nude women?! So hard to come by these days. thatโs quite an offer.
Anyhow, I like topping personally because itโs more predictable for me. But if you have your thing figured out and you prefer LST - itโs probably the way to go and stick with.
I usually top, LST, then top the upper growths again.

ToppingNever topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3Week 3

Top or lst and whenShould i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?Week 3

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!Techniques. LST
