scrog kills 2 birds with one stone... eventually you run into floppy plants that cann't hold their own weight, so the support is essential. Difficult to predict such a thing if you haven't grown the plant before.
this is going to involve LST and whatever else is needed. these are tools to manipulate the outcome. Use whichever tool works best for the context.
manifolding can slow you down if you blindly follow the peanut gallery. They'll have you beleive that stripping al the leaves early somehow helps, lol. Even if you manifold apply common sense. Don't remove solar panels until necessary. You essentially do teh same thing with a scrog as you do manifolding the plant, but doesn't take 2-3 extra weeks for stupid reasons. manifolding is a tourette's sufferer's OCD wet dream. looks kinda cool to some but incredibly low productivity due to the extra time it takes in vege to get it going if you follow the peanut gallery's instructions for it.
