many ways to do it. check out the FAQ. LST(low stress training) is my favorite as it is low stress and doesn't have potential to really stunt the plant like another method called topping(removing new growth shoots so secondary shoots take over thus increasing amount of colas)

I've never had a problem with topping. Been doing it for years. It bushes out your plant and you can top the secondary branches as well to get those to bush out more. I can see how it would cause stress though since you're cutting branches off the plant. I've never had any negatives from it that I can tell. Normally top my mothers a lot because you can get a lot more clones faster when they're bushes.

Either LST or top them.
I prefer to top all my plants because i've never had a problem.

I have tried to lst a few times but i have snapped a few good size branches from doing so.

To get a monster bush, take a cutting, just a few weeks before the plant finishs, clone a bud, after it grows roots it will shoot out more shoots than u can even think of.

That's a reveg. Takes a ton of time depending on the strain.
This was a Purple Trash that started off way too early and the buds left on. Revegged into a beast.

I thought a reveg was when you put the plant back into veg, not a clone. My dad has cut the top 5/6 of the plants off and harvested that and threw that remaining plant back into the veg room, harvested one 3 or 4 times, before taking a clone, which I think is a waste of time ( what he does) and i tell him about it. Old men are set in there ways.
