Hello growmie,
There are lot's of very good articles in the journal section, i took the time to pick out a few ones that will just give you different ideas (you can find the article about topping under high stress training - 1st link)
High Stress Training (HST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-high-stress-training-hst-on-cannabis
Low Stress Training (LST):

The advantages of training:

Supercropping:

Benefits of Supercropping:

Mainlining:

Personally i would begin by topping the plant between 2nd and 3th node that way you will end up with 4 main branches.
If you want 6 branches top between or 3th and 4th node.
Good luck 🍀 mate

I would be tempted to leave her alone. Maybe a little LST.

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?5y ago

I am attempting to mainline again. My first time was not too successful, but it worked out OK. The question is: Should I remove the fan leaves at this point? I did that on the last topping and it seemed to accelerate the growth, but not sure if these are big enough. thanksWeek 5

One of my girls is showing signs of N tox so I'm going to drop nutrients for the next week and just feed plain PH'd water until a good runoff.
My question is; during this week should I still be giving Bud Factor X, Big Bud, and Bud Candy? There isn't N in those.Week 10

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)?
*The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*Week 10

Tops spacingMy plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?Week 7

In a weeks time(when my stretch is over)I will defoliate a few fan leaves covering colas. So... how much should I cut, fan leaves higher or lower on the stem and what effect will this have on growth and yield? does time of day or time in the watering cycle of the cutting matter?Week 14

Limiting StretchHello growers! I have three plants that are currently in their stretch and are getting too wide for the tent. If I were to slightly bend some of the cola branches towards the center to try and make the plant a bit more compact, would this hurt them in any way? Thanks in advance.6y ago
