There’s plenty of air flow and light penetration. I wouldn’t stress her out. I think they could use those leaves for energy

With that amount of foliage I personally wouldn't. Doesn't seem like much light is being blocked, seems like you could get sufficient air flow, and if you take too much off you won't have anything left to catch light and create energy. My :text.02

Top her a second time?
Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

second topping @third week
I would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made. Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ? Thx

Dudas sobre Topping
Tengo varias dudas. La planta está por 6 nudo de crecimiento ¿Hago el topping por encima del 4 nudo o por encima del 5 nudo? ¿El corte debe ser a 90 grados o a 45 grados? Leo muchos artículos y foros con distintas opiniones, pero no me queda claro... Gracias!

Should I top?
Hi everyone, I am a bit in two minds if I should top and mainline this beautiful lady. If I decide to do any topping it should happen this week. Please let me know what you growers would do :) I might have left this too late as she has grown a lot. Regards, Weedwhisperer

How many colas can I fit in a 2ftx2ft before crowding becomes an issue?
I will be mainlining my plants to 8-16 mains and I'm trying to decide how many plants I can fit in. I was thinking between 2-4 plants, which would be 16-64 colas in that 2ft x 2ft area.

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?
Meine Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt in Woche 3 und ich möchte das sie nicht hoch sondern buschig wachsen. Ich habe Pflanzenklammern die 90Grad biegen können hier. Ist die schon bereit? Oder wäre eher Topping die bessere Variante?
