i was going to lst my plant to get it a bigger yeild, but to do that they would need to be out in the sun all day and we are going through a terrible heat wave so i have them in shade and getting morning sun. so should i just top them and that will increase my yeild or go ahead and lst? also my one plant is over 2 ft so how would i lst that one?

I would do both. top it a couple times to get 4-8 heads then LST it. YOu will get GREAT returns. Give it an extra month or so in veg though.

I've topped mine like 2 or 3 times already. Also in the heat wave zone and got her outside. Haven't had any probs and also thinking about LSTing

About a week or two, once you top it should grow two new tops. I wouldn't over do it though

I usually top and LST on the same day but then again I already know what to expect.
