I am going to be ordering some seeds soon and was just wondering what are the best types indica or sativa to top and lst. My cabinet has about three feet of vertical space. I would love to grow some cotton candy but I think its a sativa and dont know if its possible.

grow what you want, just keep up training it. first weeks in flower too. I trained only in veg cycle and got too much stretch there. Maybe there are strains which you shouldn't train, but I haven't ever heard about them. Can't even imagine reason why you couldn't train any plant.

I lst most all of my ladies, from the moment they have true leaves. I make a u shape out of some bailing wire and lay the plant over, then pin her down. Any where from later that day to early the next day, she'll be face up again. Let her go another inch or two and repeat. Do this with the side branches as well. Continue until desired size/shape( I had one that was under a foot tall and two feet wide, 18" @end of flower. And that was a silver haze(sativa))

Hope ya have fun doin what your doin!

I lst'ed two Northern Lights/Big Bud plants and it has been amazing. I planted them from seed in august and vegged them until the first week in october letting them fill in the screen. When they started flowering, I thought I had pinned them down too much and would bud out all mixed into the screen but the opposite happened. A large number of giant colas eventually rose up. I went through and pollipopped the entire screen and pruned out a bunch of the mess of lst'ed tops and popcorn buds. What I trimmed out was already good smoke (early december).

I believe this slowed down the plant's development because the buds kept getting taller but remained spindley. The colas rose up a full 18 inches from the screen and started filling out only in the last few weeks. They are fat and sticky now and are just collapsing on themselves. I'm flushing now...5 months of waiting but I'm hoping to pull of a half pound of medical bud!
