Very informative an relevant, you stated the best time to prune would be before the buds swell, can you elaborate on the correct times to prune (to improve structure/vigor during veg and for the best fruit/ flower set).
DS, I've been lurking on this forum for the last year (although I've been growing for a long time) and am thoroughly impressed with the breadth and depth of the knowledge you are dropping. Great to see somebody who is taking cultivation to the next level and is willing to share it with the rest of us. Keep it up!
Thanks for this post. Interesting stuff. It sounds like a technique for maintaining healthy, robust and high producing plants that are TALL.
My impression is that this technique is being positioned as an alternative to LST, supercropping and to a smaller degree topping.
How can this technique be used to achieve shorter, bushy plants with an even canopy?
you can use structural pruning to attain a small even canopy and create a plant that has not only an even canopy, but even scafolding branches that are radially placed around the trunk. using this proper pruning technique along with lst will give you a plant that will require less bracing when fruit develops.

Ok. So in a nutshell to achieve this:
We should prune like this?
I also have the same question, when is the proper time to prune?
Bud swell does not happen on cannabis plants. Best time to prune is when the plant is healthy and in a vegatative state.
I love topping, and then topping some more after I have topped again.
