Manipulating the plant for a bigger plant

I have always been a firm believer of let it be other than some minor pruining but as of recent I have learned to “hack away” I have been clipping clones off my mothers and the more i clip the bigger it gets as a whole and the bigger the main stalk gets. Now I’m going to try this with the babies that are to veg/flower

That's called supercropping. Look it up, may find some useful tips along the way.

hormonal response to cause more lateral growth when topped and stretch when skirted. It speeds up growth to make up for the losses of bud sites in its attempt to pass on more seeds one day

Supercropping is pinching and bending the stem. When your cutting a clone your unintentionally topping. Its a good technique for training the shape of a plant but personally i try to only do it in scrog when growing tips reach the edge i top them. Ive mainlined before and found that too much topping can add months of time to a grow, kind of defeating the purpose. With techniques like supercropping and low stress training i think you can do better than topping. And believe me i love topping lol idk why. I used to top all my plants before beginning lst

I admit to only cutting plants for clones or to avoid having to raise my lights in veg .
If a new strain gets unruly n flower I snap bend her tallness and never look back.

I really like the whole xmas trees garden theme in the flower room. easy to maintain for me, no tip, no tie, no spills
