The best training technique

[Autoscrog]

Which training technique do you think is the best and why?

It might be hard trying to define best, as all the methods have plus and minus points. I don't usually top my autos as I'm very hesitant about slicing a time constrained plant (photos - no problem), but I have seen it done many times on this site with great success. I have no problem using LST however, as you're not removing anything & still triggering the same hormones that topping would. LST for me is the safer option, and still allows for great results. Normally the only topping I do is when the LST goes wrong as I'm stoned when doing it.

Just bend over anything that gets to tall imo

I'm with @Peacefulgarden. I start early and bend and separate throughout grow. I like the nodes spread around the pot.

Another one for LST. Tried a few different methods now and LST had the biggest increase in yeild. Topping helps keep the canopy even, if you are doing many pots.
Good luck
