You can also bend them over LST style. It’s simple less invasive and it coax’s out more top sites by exposing lower internodal growth to the availability of light. but at the same time I would top it too, and when you should stop topping a plant, is all about grow area. Strain genetic variation and its height relative to a well controlled microclimate.
But you really can a make these plants do what you want, overall having topping and lst in the back pocket is where it’s at. Always try to play to a strains strength and vigor.
Learning some simple cannabis chiropractic techniques is def a good thing if you run tents or an enclosed area. Leading to another way I like to control plants that waaaaay over stretch my intended finishing heights.
It’s a bit old school like this clown right here, but super cropping is definitely handy for a few things. Indoors it’s very usable to take it unwieldy plant and put it back into the lights footprint if it grows outside of it or isn’t getting an optimal amount of light exposure every day and it also exposes all of the nodes on whichever stalk you need to bend to the light and that can actually bring along some explosive growth and big ass buds, also if you pop a clean knuckle on at the fulcrum of te cropped pinch point it improves uptake. outdoor application is solely about explosive growth. Unleashes head room is an issue….i know it’s a lot but def all stuff you need to be studying a bit.
