Topping and LST

I have tryed both methods and it varies on species in my opinion.. Sum like 1 way sum handle both ways.. Topping will divert energy into other areas..cutting open a stem also increase risk of infection.. Lst is handy for tall plants that stretch into flower and u have limited head space.. Both techniques work well tho.. Plants are pretty tough and recover from most stress techniques if conditions are good.. Just experiment and u'll get the feel afer a few goes.. Gud luck n stay safe.. 👍
