topping - can it harm flowering?
Always tempted to try the SCROG thing out, it looks beautiful to have an even canopy all the buds enjoying the nice light up top. New growers however be warned, sometimes it's smarter to get growing down under your belt (and your strain) before doing a SCROG system... hell, it might be smart to learn what plants want\need to grow strong and yield well naturally before even topping or LSTing in my opinion.
I have grown indoors three times now, and I feel like I am just now starting to figure this thing out. Don't get me wrong, 2 of the 3 of my yields have far exceeded my expectations, and were on pace with most people who have grown for longer than myself... but every single cycle I've done thus far I always end up thinking about things I could have done to make it better.
That said, if you wanna try SCROG or LST or Topping, that's fine... go for it. But there's a certain level of risk associated with it as well. I've topped exactly two plants in my life, one of which turned hermie on me... had I not been paying close attention and known what to look for in a hermie... I would have had an entire crop of seeds.
Doing a SCROG set up is alot of work, you really really need to know how to train those plants for it to work effectively. Just my .02
