lolly popping vs low stress training

lolly popping causes stress but indeed does produce results but the method that its done in and strain is a big factor (some plants like lolly pop and thrive so dont snd thrive )so does lst but with very little stress simply move any branched/leaves out of the way to get light to the bottom. since any type of stress does change outcome of the plant (ive read) either with yeild or potency would lst be the best option all around? i know cannabis thrive under slight stress but how much is to much c,utting off branches like cutting off limbs plant freak out and if you think about woulnt the plant loosr some type of production to coup with the loss of the limbs like would pause resin or bud pro duction to heal instead of focusing on production and growth

all are welcome to the disscusion
this is just something i want to narrow down
thanks
GO GREEN !

Lollypop - I only take off the branches that don't get light.

I've stopped topping, in favour of supercropping (I'm too lazy to LST).

Right now I have plants side by side:
1 - 1 main cola, going to produce 1 big bud, but not a big yield, top heavy.
2 - 4 colas, smaller buds but at least twice the yield of the single cola, top heavy.
3 - Topped, 6 or 8 main buds that might equal the 4 cola plant, thin stems and branches are starting to bend.
4 - Supercropped, at least a dozen buds, solid dense canopy, thick branches, healthiest of the plants, and I'm hoping that it will yield the best.

But I'm still experimenting, so what do I know.

Have fun.

It all depends on how much time you have to invest in your plants and how much of a veg time you want.

Every time you top, fim, supercrop or lst...it takes the plant about 1 week to fully recover from the stress. So what you need to determine is how much time you have to put into your plants and what you want your veg time to be. This is important because all the recovery time adds up at the end of the year, and you could potentially have another entire crop.

If you don't really care about your duration of veg time, then train your plants like crazy and you will have great results.
