I read a few responses but most say the same thing (why bother, lst, and or top/FIM)
I agree with all the above but thoughts I'd include some ways I train my plants;
This is candy cream from seedsman
Been in veg for about 45-50 days and transplanted once from a solo cup. I like my plants short and big; she will be transplanted into a 10 gal in a week for her final pot.
Only FIM twice, the rest is lst/hst
I use the soften, twist and bend method for supercropping.
No snapping, just a huge knot.
Sometimes I just bend the whole plant over like this one; 8 ball kush
Which then turned into this in less than a week
