Topping is so last century -- mainlining is the totally hipster maximum way to got. The most phenomenally productive grows on this site are mainliners. Soon you will tie them down and the stem will get super strong and your plant will howl. Either Sativa or Indica or both work just fine.I'm on my 2nd grow.

So pretty much cut at the 4th node, and defoliate everything below?

Nar i dont believe that bro..mainlining is waay slow and less productive than a topped plant.a topped plant progesses waay quicker .cause your not repeatedly cutting and chopping slowing the plant down.. the end results good but..id agree with that..Topping is so last century -- mainlining is the totally hipster maximum way to got.

Yupp u can top it again n if your a rookie grower I would not try mailing or supercropping just yet. Make it through a couple successful harvest n learn a bit then it will come. I usually l.s.t. my plants but I'm getting sick of all the constant tying new shoots down . Here's a pic of my crop I'm on now the back 3 were topped again last night for the 2nd time. The front 3 I topped this morning at the 3rd node I top em when there young.I'm on my 2nd grow. I just femmed my plant two weeks ago and 3 bud sites came from it. I now have 7 bud sites. Can i top all of them or is it too soon?

imo... SOG will get you the biggest yield with the fastest veg time. This should only be done with clones.

I mean I only run seeds to find mothers just a personal choice. I feel running clones gives some advantages to uniformity and other reasons when trying to maximize yield for a given space.SOG should only be done with clones? what do you recommend from seed? also do you thing the plant i posted can be turned into a mother?
If you have a photoperiod plants then yes you can absolutely use them as mothers to take clones from. Simply done if you top them use the top to make a clone.
As all the posters above say there are many different ways to train. I would not say there is a best way it all depends what your goals, space, environment are.

As to what in particular? Mainly I would top and train to keep an even canopy. Personally I feel mainlining increases the time you need in veg to much. Personally topping and trellis or Scrogging to be easy and effective. But thats just an opinion of what works for me and doesn't make i the right answer. Some may like the mainlining and not overly worried about veg times etc.as a second time grower do you have a recommendation?

i would say if your skill level isnt all quite there yet...you can try mainlining...its the easiest way to ensure you have good quality and quantityas a second time grower do you have a recommendation?
