Recommend LST, topping/supercropping for newbie? or other?

[HippyLettuce420]

Just like the title. What would be the simplest for a first time grower?

4ft space but pot takes up 9in and light takes up 10in

Any of these methods decrease the chance of females?

Also, fyi... growing indica dominant strain

Thanks

bending is the easiest thing

topping isn't easy if you're aiming to top the plant... you might FIM it

and FIM isn't easy if you're aiming for it... you might top it or don't cut enough

supercropping isn't easy for a noob, i don't think

LST is similar to bending.. so i think that would be the easiest for a noob

i bend the plant as a noob and i also FIM it... both was successful.. its trained to grow sideways now

Id have to agree with needhelp LSTing is the way to go i think

Thanks guys for the replies. Couple other questions though.... I tried researching FIM and couldn't get any results? If I could get a link to that or a quick explanation that'd help tons.

Also, since these plants are indica dominant... by the time they get tall enough to LST/bend, would the stem get to thick? I just think that it would snap by the time I try to bend it over?

Anything helps. Thanks

is snapping the stem a logical result?

Try to slowly bend them its much more simple

snapping is for supercropping... i think thats what you're talking about...

to bend, you slowly bend day by day.. and releasing it after a week... because after that week, it should already have learned to bend the way you want it to.... what is useful is the twisty ties from bread or garbage bags... tape one end to your container and make a hook with the other end.. and you use the hook to hold down the plant in the way you want it to bend
