I'm trying that with my current grow. accidentaly broke them while LSTing. 2 times..
So, I now have bushes rather than plants. SHould have 4 big colas though plus light gets to the middle of the plant better. So should be a win from what I've picked up on here.
I have pics on my threads. Don;t know how to put it in my post though.. search my user id?

I've heard of this technique but not something I would ever try or suggest. Every time you do damage to any part of your plant it slows the growth in that area for a day or 2.
If the plant has good genetics it will produce quality buds on it's own. Just use good nutes and keep the light as close as possible.

I didnt do it on purpose.. It was accidental. I was trying to "supercrop" I think is the temp.. Where you bend the plant over until it sort of snaps the interior fibers. I didnt squeeze them so they just snapped off. Dumby.. I know..
They are auto's the ones I'm talking about. Are they toast now? didnt know you couldnt top autos.

from what i read on the subject u can top but it will decrease ur yield, ur better off not topping an auto, thats why i decided to try LST to see if it would increase the yield even just a little as i lost my WW cause it was a boy
