You can do both at the same time with great resuslts, just makes sure you give the plants 2 weeks to recover from any stress that may have occured.
As long as theyre into the vegetation stage of growth, you can basically do whatever you want to them as long as you give them some time before you flower.


Topping and LSTing can be very beneficial when used together. Topping stimulates the growth of lower branches, while LSTing reinforces that by altering hormones and redirecting side growth to grow toward the light.



Its alot easier to light a more even canopy, than opposed to lighing a traditional christmas tree shaped plant. Its even more difficult when using CFL lighting.

Just by bending that plant over you increased your overall yield a bit.

Ties will stay in place!!! :)

She is loving the LST. I re did my side lights and added(Changed) 2 45w to the main light fixture. Here's some new pics

Im having an issue with a couple of top fan leafs;

Looks like they were touching the lamps or too close. If this is the same leaf in the picture then lamps burned them. Don't worry, not a big deal. I also burned couple of times. They'll live and they'll be functional. But this doesn't mean you can burn all :) Keep them 2-3 cm away from the bulbs and also consider the distance of their movement.

Considering that the lights are 4xW, I'd even say 5-8 cm is a safe bet. She looks like she's absolutely loving the LST. Keep it up bro. :D

Side lights aren't 4xW as i see from here. They look like 2xW and 4xW's are on top. By considering leaves movement it will end up to 5-8 cm anyway :) 5 is good i say.
LST yes! keep up!
Also you might want to set the bulbs paralel (vertical) to the plant, they look like giving light to the pot. Specially the left. First setup from previous pictures they were good. I don't mean far, just keep the angle like that if you can.

Did some more training today;

Oh yeah, my bad. The side ones aren't 4xW. But that plant looks great man! Maybe different angles would show the new training a bit better.
