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):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants
The advantages of training:
growdiaries.com/journal/The-Advantages-Of-Training-Cannabis-Plants
Supercropping:
growdiaries.com/journal/super-cropping-the-best-technique-to-get-massive-yields
Benefits of Supercropping:
growdiaries.com/journal/benefits-of-super-cropping-cannabis
Mainlining:
growdiaries.com/journal/main-lining-cannabis-plants-to-increase-yields
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.

Type of water? Let tap water sit out?
What type of water do you use to water? I'm just using tap water and will be using a pH meter and ppm so it's in the tps one suggested range. People say tap water needs to sit out to let chlorine evaporate? Ppm is 220 out the faucet.

How much defoliation is too much? I defoliate every two days, but she keeps on producion a ton of leaves, so my guess is I'm not pulling enough leaves. Opinions?

I have a pretty decent heat wave stretch coming my way late next week after the 4th. What’s the best way to protect an outdoor crop in full sun during a heatwave? Obviously the easiest way would be to move it, (she’s in a container) but I have a tarp on hand as well.

Should I harvest next week-ish? My pistils and trichomes appear to indicate its almost ready. But my flower time is 6 of 10-11 weeks. I'm going to check next week and take another picture of the trichomes, but they're at the beginning of showing amber.

Tried my own thing on pruning. It's exploding. 4 main colas. 2 on the next node. Going to 4000w full spectrum led for flowering in another week. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. It's my first grow.

12/12 with autos in flower?
I’ve never grown autos so I’m looking for some advice.. Is it better switch your lights to 12/12 when the plant goes into flower? I feel like in theory this would make sense for THC development. Thank you

When would be the best time to pot them in the 20L pots and leave them permanently outside. In The Netherland there are quite some fluctuations in temperature and weather even in the summer. So i want to be sure they can handle it.

So I have been viewing some of the grows on here and am noticing that Autos grown in soil tend to flower sooner than hydro grows. My question is will feeding bloom notes earlier trigger a reaction to the plant to signal when to flower. Do I have any control over that? Thanks
