Training is the most important thing I do in my garden to increase yields. Topping, tying down branches to spread the plant out, topping some more, and defoliation are all part of training in my opinion. When I grow a strain for the first time it's almost never as good as the second time I grow it. Why is that? Every strain grows differently and until I know how it's going to grow I don't know the best way to effectively train it. I gotta get to know my girls before I know how to make 'em pop. That sounded kinda dirty didn't it? ![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
A close second to training is genetics. Some strains produce massive plants that produce massive yields. Some strains produce teeny tiny plants with small flowers that generate low yields. For instance, my ghost train which is said to be the strongest strain in the world will not produce 1/4 what my Jager will produce. It won't produce 1/2 what my maui's produce. That's in the same grow room, under the same lights, and provided the same fertilizer. None of those variables will change the genetics you start with. End of diatribe![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
