Just reading about LST now, didn’t do it but wondering if it’s too late, if so what other types of methods can I use to increase colas at this stage?

Plants look great. It is too late for LST training. But you can do some leaf tucking/tying and or some defoliation to open up the plant to allow more light to reach the bud sites. Most growers will remove the large fan leaves from the lower 1/4 to 1/3 of the plant and tiny buds site lowest on the branches that will never get enough light to amount to anything significant. This will force more energy/nutrients to the upper buds site increasing their growth.Also tucking the upper leaves or tying them will allow more light to get to the buds as you get closer to harvest you can start to slowly remove more of them to ensure maximum light is hitting them. If your definately in bloom using nutrients low in nitrogen with medium/ high phosphorus and high potassium will help your buds grow in size and density over the next several weeks. Keep in mind buds put on the most weight during the last 2-3 weeks before harvest. Hope this helps👍

Yeah too late bro, start lst next time when plant is still small. But for now you can tie back some of the lower branches to reveal them some more and take of any leaves blocking light to lower buds and remove anything tiny that looks useless

At that stage of the grow you can't use LST or HST as your plant are already in flowering and the stems should not be flexible enough to be bent , you could use topping but your plant is already flowering so it could eventually stress the plant. According to me you can use your nutrients schedule go have bigger colas , if you are giving the right nutrient amount at the right time your nugs will get fatter
