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:

Supercropping:

Benefits of Supercropping:

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 π mate βοΈ

i top mine usually once 4rth-5 set of leaves appear, you can cut or pinch top off....once the little top is long enough to get it, 1/4 inch or taller above next set below..

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

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

I'm growing this plant very carefully to not draw too much attention, so i'm leaving her grow without any kind of training of very specific nutrients. She looks about 1 m high, what do you guys think the harvest is going to amount to? How many weeks are left to harvest?

What nutrients do you use to get the best root growth during vegetation? Do you continue with the same nutrients during flowering or do you change? What brand have you found to work best?
