I top at the 5th node and usually while it's quite small. After that I top the two axillaries for four main branches and let the rest grow into the net, tucking till the end of stretch.

Of course, you're outside, so SCROGGING wouldn't be on my agenda. You don't need a flat canopy when the sun is your lightsource.

Being outdoors, I wouldn't prune lower growth, I'd just train it to get more light and moreso airflow.

Actually I wouldn't bother with ANY more pruning. I'd stick to tying down, and supercropping if you want to get heavy handed. Just try to keep main branches distant from each other. I don't know your climate, but in northeast USA, outdoors it gets colder and wetter the closer you get to harvest. Mold is a big concern for me. I have an outdoor grow post linked in my signature so you can see how I trained.

I grow indoors but are more than happy to go through each plant and say what trainning I would do

maybe completely wrong but I would train the plants the same as indoors to get as many shoots as you can and get an even canopy as the the sun goes over the canopy your shoots should receive more light

I have seen videos on youtube where growers have a good flat canopy and there plants are massive

could you put a few pictures up of each plant and I could go through one plant at a time and others member's could jump in with three views idea's

that's help you grow some tree's

I would top the plant View attachment 4750543

because as the plant grows it's going to be hard to support and canopy shapes not going to be great.
once you top the plants,

It will put all the energy into the lower shoots and they will really Bush out in no time, become and become very think

I would pull every shoot down(lst) and top the plant, more shoots you can get level around the pot the better.

So stop pulling the main shoot down like that?

I said it would be good to top the plant so he would have a large bushy plant.
