Can you LST a plant that hasn't been topped? I have a plant that is round and bushy and the branches are pretty long reaching almost even with the top cola. I feel like if i tie down those long arm branches maybe more would grow?
I wasn't originally planning on topping, and i was actually hoping to flip 12/12 today.

Thanks for any input..

I generally only use lst. If you have to room to pull them to the side and expose inner growth it'll only help. Would probably be more beneficial if you give it a few days after bending so it has a chance to get those inner nodes going, but it's not mandatory. You still have stretch to deal with during the early stages of flower.

Silica/Silicon - it will help thicken your stems, and the branchy parts will be more flexible enabling you to tie it down easier without damaging the plant. It also has other good attributes while your googling :lol:

I use Mineral Magic

This is Mazar

i tried to top her and missed ao shes grown normally i have just bent her over hard by lassooing a leaf. Dont be worried they love it.

As she grows just grab the next leaf along and tie it down hard.

Looks sick. Over/under watered. Severely drooping, contortion. Possibly N-tox.. White spots of lint or critters or some sheet.

far from it but i have been growing plants for about 30 years...autos for the last 6 months or so. They really suit micro grows apart from the ones that literally germ then flower....i put them in soil in a corner because they dont get big enough to FIM and train

Yes, you can train or Supercrop her. Indoors it's good to top, LST, and Supercrop at netting level if your doing lighting from above. Try to grow them into hedges.
