LST does create new nodes like topping by breaking apical dominance. Also the photo you showed below your topping example, with the purple lighter, is an LSTed plant, I don't see any indication of where it's topped.So LST doesent Create more nodes. Topping Doubles the nodes available, every time you top.
For the sake of argument lets assume the following picture is your LST plant. Agreed?
for each node you get one top cola. BUT they are all along ONE single mainstem.

Topping Doubles the Main Stem.
This allows you to LST 4, 8, 16, Mainstem branches.

Which look like this when done properly.

That's fine. Doesn't change the fact that the stalk of the plant you gave as an example of topping is LSTed and not topped.Also im not trying to be argumentative in the least. I am only trying to help from many years of experience and failure. in the hopes that others can learn without too much confusion.
Despite what others post, i at least try to find and post my sources when needed so you can read for yourself.

It's a poor example when you're trying to show one thing but it's the complete opposite training method.the photo may have been the wrong one to use fine.. i was using it as an example. ive deleted it to avoid confusion.
Don't feel bad. He blocks everyone. It's his schtick.Block me for what?
I topped in my last run, this time I've just LST some and supercropped one just for fun.I have two wedding cake autos starting out. Guess I’m gonna top one of them and see how it compares. Best way to find out is just to try it.
I mainlined this auto granddaddy purple. So 4 separate toppings. She has grown just fine, actually healthier then those I haven’t topped.Let’s clear it up right away I’m a brand new grower this is the first grow, I’ve ever done and if you can tell I tinker with things… I know autoflowes 90% (from my research) say don’t top them, I wasn’t going against advice this plant was damaged so figured I’d try it out since it needed to be removed let’s just say I dropped something right on top of the plant
anyway there both planted same day same pots same soil critical purple from growers choice just a fun first grow to learn
PS forum is awesome thanks for everyone’s help

I'm no expert. I am only on my second grow and it's my first auto grow. I also haven't read this thread, only this page (9). I am doing a two tent grow with one tent (3x3) being perpetual autoflowers and the other being a scrogged photoperiod plant. I am topping at the 5th node which comes quickly growing in coco and then letting them do their thing. I also just started a Barney's Farm Wedding Cake Auto and plan on giving her the same treatment.Good question would be when to top since they flower after third week
