No, you can lst them fine without topping them and get similar results. I choose to top mine, but there are lots of methods that give great results. Good luck!

LST - am I doing it right?I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?

I met this kid yesterday that said he waters his plants every day and not to LST. My plan was to make the plants grow in a spiral essentially.
I just wanted to hear everyone else’s opinion on this kids statements. He has like 2.5 grows under his belt where I only have .33 grows.

Node distance and LSTWondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?

Rate my LSTThird round of topping.
Trying to bend the branches in the usual way so "pulling down", the "Y split" in the topping sites always break/open.
So I'm trying this way with ropes and engraved sticks to PUSH the branches away from the inside.
What do you think? Alternatives?
