Default is it too late to top/super crop?

I have a sour diesel about 1 week into flowering. Is it too late to super crop? It's between 3 and 4 ft tall. Very minor signs of budding at the moment. I believe it's a 10 - 12 week flower cycle for this strain. Should I top? I never topped before but I read this strain benefits well from topping.

thanks

do not top it...that is done in early flower to multipli you stems...
as for cropping that is also normally done in veg....this way the sideshoot of the branches will come up....i would recommend bending and LST ing her....this way you won't stress her to much in flower...although you could cropp her if you want to because it is still early in flower.....it all depends on howmany stems you have on that plant....

Thanks! I'm going to try super cropping. Never did it before so I'll try a branch or two.

Also, with the LST, is there a name for whatever is used to tie it down?

thanks!

Yeah I use monofilament fishing line....lol. Some use yarn, basically whatever you have that you can tie a knot in.

There is one product called Bendz (I think) but I've never used them. I think Fast Forward is using them in his grow.

Default Bend her over

Bend her over, if she is too tall.
Do not top her now.

I did a couple bends just to see what would happen, plus I never did it before. It's looking quite good. Thanks!

Do the roughest bending on younger more pliable stems as early as you can predict the optimum direction for the branch to go. Less chance of a clean snap or break. If the stem is already hardened you can bend it over a couple of days.

The earlier you lst the bigger the bud produced by the side branches.
