I can honestly say...I like topping & LST the same. I think they go hand in hand. I don't know if I would ever "not" top a plant. 2 tops are more manageable than one...I top, then LST...then top some more...and keep LSTing. We did FIM also, and it seemed to work. That's good too.

I would like to try supercropping...and more FIMing...hey maybe some more FIBing... :dance:

As far as the "time" thing goes, I really would have to go back and look to see how much it "set us back" because there is really nothing to compare it too. I am sure the plants have been growing slower since the topping and LSTing, but really have needed that to wait for the flowering to finish!

Did I answer your question? I'm kind of spread thin here so I'm a little distracted. Let me know, and I'll re-type.

Be...coool.
