i personally started lsting my ladies and they look short bushy and FANTASTIC!!! even topped one and made it my octomom. have fun with your grows some times try new things and just learn from your own mistakes. i made a TON but learned a lot of information on all areas of building a proper custom grow space and how to efficiently grow some top quality ganja. but back on topic lst is some great stuff in a small space.
I plan to LST mine also. Just waiting until the 3rd set of leaves grow in and up a little. I wouldnt dare try to top and make an octomom on my first grow! Im afraid if I do shell just stop growing. I have a 5ft ceiling so Im not to worried about height..just more of the good stuff!
I don't LST my indoor plants as I've got more vertical room than horizontal. But I sort of do a semi-LST outdoors. I don't do anything with the main cola but I do tie off the side branches and pull them away from the main stalk. Not horizontal but enough to allow more light to get into the lower buds on those side branches.
I LST mine after about 2 weeks. I get the stalk to circle around with the pot so I dont lose too much horizontal space. Thats only for strains that are supposed to get over 2ft tall, not on dwarfs.
I was able to keep the canopy of six plants almost perfectly even:
View attachment 19077 These plants take up a 16" x 18" footprint... 2 1/2 gal. pots.
I really can't speak to how it affected yield because this was a seed run... lot's of seeds, small smoke-able yield. But, at least you can see for yourself to get an idea of what to expect.
