yield increasing techniques?

ok this is my 3rd grow outdoors.

Normally I don't do much to the plants, I just let them grow like a Christmas tree, except for last year I had a plant top itself (seriously, new growth on top died and it sprouted 2 new tops) and it grew 7ft tall with 2 tops that gave sweet smelling bud.

SO, my questions are: What is "pruning"?, What is "training"?, and will either of these really increase yield for outdoor plants?

Oh, and what is a good way to clone outdoors?
 
for outdoor grows i just like to let them go wild.

you train your plants to stay low to the ground if you are in an area outside where you think someone might see it from a distance.



i dont know about the cloning outdoors.
i clone everything inside, let them get a good height in the veg room then throw them outside when its time, like about now ish.
 
well i had a plant grow outdoors and i pruned it maybe twice, once when it was 3 months old and once at 5 months and i got way more weed because of the first prunning. I basicly just clipped all the large fanleaves that covered lower branches. the plant thrived and grew much bushier. i got alot from that plant and i can testify pruning works.

Except for stealth reasons, removing healthy green leaves, or pinching tops won't help.

Topping may result in an increased yield, but only because the plants footprint(canopy) is larger.

Using LST avoids the shock of pruning, while spreading the plant's canopy.

If you must pinch, read up on the techniques, and try to only remove tiny sprouts.

This requires forethought, but beats hacking off a bunch of sun leaves.
 
sprinkle oats, corn, and carrots around the base of your plants. it does wonders. its got something to do with like...the nitrogen or something...
