Im having to do both with my sativa have not begun training
it yet but toped it twice because of the hieght in my grow
space. If you have the space I say don't do either.

I'm a fan of LST. It seems to me you can get more light to more leaves that way.

i agree with UPS...LST is the way to go...its not as stressful (hermies) and if you bend the plant properly you can get colas as big as the main....

[mscaboo]

if you are running a perpetual cycle like i am it is easier just to top and forget about it.

[blizma]

hmmm well whats best to do when you do a normal grow with limited space? Which makes the plants go shortest and widest

Im just going to make holes in my planter/pot and tie
the branches to some soft nylon strings attached to
the holes in the pots. I'll post pics in my CFL grow when
I do. It will be this weekend maybe tonight.
