Reclipse, welcome to the thread.
Indica or sativa, they will respond the same way - your call. Being that I had/have an infatuation with sativas grown indoors, namely "pure" sativas like Zamal, Vietnamese, Mexican, Flying Dutchmen's Original Haze, etc..... I decided to try to train my sativas in to a shorter stature. That's when I came up with the 4 cola drill. Sometimes it works for one's garden, sometimes it doesn't. For example, my Dalat Viet did the 4 cola profile fine, but it just kept on growing necessitating topping about 6 times, even during flowering. It's an issue of internode length. You do what you have to do.
