Hmm, so training, topping etc. cannot be generally said to be better, or worse, than just letting the plant grow naturally?



I was planning on allowing my plants to get up to about 1m tall under a 400w HPS. I would trim the leaves and bend as necessary to allow light to get to the lower branches. I was also thinking about putting a couple of T5s in there among the plants to keep the light down low.

I do know that so long as I can get about 120-140 grams per harvest, that should last my spouse and I until the next harvest. Once I get to that yield, all I care about is potency. Is this possible to do with 2 or 3 plants, with minimal LST or topping? I really want to keep my first grow simple, so I can learn the basics. I figure this shoud also make it easier to keep the quality of the plant high.

So my question is this: if height is not an issue, should I still train my plant or not? Are SOG, SCROG, LST etc. superior to just letting the plant grow normally, assuming unlimited space? In other words, is it always more productive to train, or SOG etc., or is that only effective when space is limited? It looks like I'll have 1 to 1.5 meters worth of vertical room Rating: 5
