Do you always use high stress training techniques, if so when do you implement them and which do you recommend and why?

I like to use HST on my photoperiod plants. my fav is topping but I almost always combine it with a bit of LST as well. You can do this after the plant is finished growing for the first few weeks and has a bunch of mature leaves.
Good Luck!

No really with autos no.
You can, tbh I've done it. Hmmm. You need a slow pre flower and long flower. Autos move to quick. I haven't found there to be any huge benefits, no in autos

Accidentally super cropped my autoHello, I've accidentally snapped the main branch while doing some LST which resulted in an unwanted super crop. It's a Northern Lights auto and I'm worried it won't recover since it's already in flower. What do you guys think will the plant recover?

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining:
Is there any difference or what would be preferred between:
Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍4 years ago

Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!

HST at week 2.5 in flower?I’m roughly in between weeks 2-3 of flowering and was wondering if I can still high stress train at this point? Some of the tallest branches are within 6 inches of the light and I expect them to gain a few more inches even. Light is also at max height.Week 7
