Topping vs LST'ing vs FIM'ing vs Supercropping

GO GO GO! Fight for your favorite form of cultivating please! For my benefit and anyone who looks at this thread thinking, "I wonder what the best form of cultivating is that can maximize my yield, without stressing the plant too much. I've heard theres 4 main ways of doing it, whats the difference?"

GO!

FIMMING​

Here is what it can do!!!

damnn, haha good WORK! keep it up

how long did you veg for and what strain wiimb? how bigs that grow room?

1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0, ww x bb 7 weeks from rooted cutting

so you havnt turned them to flower yet?!? but seriously thats a nice looking bush i love plants that look like that.

thanks and there in week 1 of flower

I have done them all and I find that super cropping yields the most desirable results lst is awesome but sometimes you run into issues of buds bein too heavy and havin bent over branches makes it worse to combat this I super crop instead. If you look in my thread there's vids of two identical plants one super cropped one topped the topped one responded nice but not like the super cropped one plus when you super crop you get some very nice knuckles that help hold large nug and increase stem strength massively fim is really just a form of topping but I guess people like to make it hard on themselves and try and get out the micro scope to trim the top of the stem when they could just wait a lil longer and top it for the same results depending on where you top it and even then toppling slows growth and removes a bud site why would you do hat when you can pinh the stem bend the plant over and achieve same results with less stress and have more tops cause you didn't remove any

Super crop/scrog over everything

definitely some good points, i never really thought of topping that way, i've tried scrog before but i dont think i did it right, however it still turned out quite well. and ive lst'd before, and that made my plant just a bush.

ive LST'd before and it was more of a pain then anything. it was effective in creating more tops but like what KRON said super crop does the same thing while keeping a bud site. plus the plant reacts a ton better and faster to the super crop. i topped once and my growth stopped for awhile. i didnt like that at all.
another vote for supercrop!

Ive done all as well and i gotta say supercropping is the way to go. The reason LST is even talked about IMO is because SC takes some practice and for those who forever reason didnt clone or dont have enough females to practice on dont want to run the risk of losing a whole branch which can and usually does happen the first few times. I learned if you slowly bend it back and forth and then a little hard the way you want it to go works wonders. LST takes forever sure some may say it doesnt stress the plant out as much as supercropping but it doesnt get the results i get from SC ither. SC usually recovers in 3-5 days fully and this is just my miles your may differ but its always givin me stronger stems to hold up more bud. Topping is great if done right. Its not hard to do just really easy to do too early. I wait until the plant is about a foot tall to top. After that i SC to do all the damage your doing in one day.

i have a serious question. with all these methods, should it be done on the same day when you feed it nutes? or should it be done on the day with only water? im on 2 nutes-1 water cycle. and im thinking that the method should be done on the day of feeding nutes, so it will heal faster. but also am scared that the nutes might burn it? especially for topping. any thoughts on this?

also, im new to this and i think ive past the time when i shouldve topped it. now im entering week 4 and i want to flowering after 7-10 days from today. and i havent done any of these methods. am i too late to top them? and there are quite a few number of nodes. should i top at the very top right above the last develop node? i still dont fully understand what topping actually does. so what should i do now?... giving that i want to flower in 7-10 days.
