Advantages and disadvantages of training (topping) your plants

Just wondering about some of the pros and cons of topping your plants

Thanks!

It stresses the plant especially an auto flower and can stun the height of the plant . The positive would be higher yield, wider plant for your grow pace and more even canopy which makes SCROG and low stress training a lot easier.

Benefits far outweigh the negative. If you can give her longer time to recover and beg, it is a no brainer...

It’s a no brainer on photoperiod plants on autos I don’t because the veg period is very limited and they won’t have time to recover
