Those are environmental changes mostly. I am talking about improving upon the way each plant grows naturally. You need to grow them all the way and understand how they grow. Then you can manipulate their environment to possibly bring out the best representation of the genetics. And no plants grow "better" training or topping them, they just grow more suited to your needs. None of what you listed will improve upon the plant's genetic predisposition.ou grow
A base point should be gathered not only on your first grow, but on the first grow of every strain you run. How do you know how to even attempt to manipulate if you don't know how the plant grows?
So, how many strains did you fully grow without any of the things I listed ? (no artificial lights, nutes, pest control eetc etc etc)
Because, ALL those elements have a bit of natures way in them, and they are getting manipulated to increase performance in the given situations.
And I believe these threads get locked by hot heads contributing their ignorance loudly and rude while trying to do some below the belt jabs while their at it.
I'm sorry man, but seriously, so many people have a narrow minded view on many things relating to growing cannabis.
I suggest you do some reading up ondefoliage in general, not just for canabis, you'd be surprised how much it gets applied.
Just because some people got stuck in their old ways and failed or never even tried, doesnt mean the rest who did manage it are wrong.
