    Thanks for the reply dude. Yeah I have already topped and regret doing it until she’s growing vertically, just a learning curve.

    Sorry to sound like a noob but have you got a picture/link of how I should be aiming for the stem to be if Iv tied down to much ? Iv tried keep the top tied node at then same height as bent lower stem but im feeling quite a bit of resistance from them and don’t want to snap anything! If I kept them tied down like are now the stem would inevtiably grow horizontally right?

    Anchor point is just a pipe cleaner or some string, please excuse my terrible drawing abilities

    Anon - think of it as an anchor at the base of the stem that prevents the stem, where it comes out of the soil, being pulled over - you don't want to be uprooting her or tugging on those roots.

    And be very, very ultra-careful - there's not a single one of us that hasn't snapped something at some point at it's gutting when it happens - just a small amount each day well before flowering and you'll be fine.

    And don't do it pissed, either.

    Yes I have been extremely careful to not snap a main stem!
    Getting some good undergrowth on them. I’m gonna hope to flip on 14days time providing getting levelish growth. Is LST recommended or not during flower?
    What other methods do people use ? I’m intrigued to see! Tempted to do lollipop, maybe supercrop & scrog ? Any tips guys

    I'd really get some support on them stems bud before you go any further, great advice above from herb, (explained it a he'll of a lot clearer than me ) get some support in, I'd just go easy on your first grow mate, do the LST then next run try something else, or pick one plant and lollipop, super crop, spread her arms out, whatever you need to do to fill that space, everyone on here will help you through mate, safe hands with this lot guiding you

    Support which stems mate & with what just normal ties? Do you mean support them now as they are or when I’m into flowering?
    Yeah may try super crop on a couple, depends how things go
    Just want her grow taller & more bushy now then flip. Bit pushed for time

    Just support the main stem mate, like the picture above, just use tie so she's not lying flat against your medium, will save you trouble later on, if your pushed for time I wouldn't advise doing any more damage to her because they need a good few days to recover from stress, so each time you lollipop or supercrop or top your adding a few days to a week onto your grow time
