Should I continue topping auxiliary stalks and main stalks or should I do lst

[Rookiegrower710]

So I’m trying to decide to either lst or continue toppig auxiliary branches to create more stalks. If I where to to continue topping in the future, could I include lst as well? The strain Candy Bonez is a sativa that normally grows tall af. Trying to keep her inside my tent at all means necessesary.

I topped Candy Bonez’s main stalk a few days ago, and chopped off the lower fan leaves to make space for growth on the auxiliary branches.

my friends opt againts lst due to not having that many plants, and not having strong enough led lights. Should I continue topping the auxiliary branches? If I do continue to top, should I wait until the 5th node or that does not apply to auxiliary branches?

I’ve Never topped auxiliary branches before, and I’ve never done lst.

what should I use? Garden wire Or what? To do lst

I use garden wire. I used string with clips early on but got wise and used the coated garden wire. Easy to cut, bend and shape.
I can’t advise on more topping, some of the more experienced growers on here probably have better advice. But if it were me at the stage, lst is the way to go at this stage of your grow, maybe top again later as the plants gain strength and fill out. Topping is hst and bending is lst. I also think by the looks of your plant size, I wouldn’t think about doing anything high stress again to it for a while until you get more solar panels…my 2 cents.

This is a good way to grow if you have the space and light and environment and are growing photos. Some adopt these but varyied techniques to suit an auto. Some may say it's the only way to do it, or very similar

Soft ties, I love them. Come in green or black in the big garden stores.
