Does topping help?

Hey well my main question is if i top my plant will it help in any way?
Like will my plant make more bud or the same or what. my plant is about 3 feet tall and just started pre flowering and if topping is the way top go when do i do it>?

hell yeah.. but try lst if you can.. i topped my plants first grow and it definitely helped..they got bushier and of course you get more nodes...but i read and saw pics about lst and it looks like is the shit....

You can top right now and then still LST

yeah but i think it wont do too much since is ready to flower.. I topped my baby when she was like 2 weeks into veg and did it a couple of times after that ...

If you want to turn that into a mother plant, you could LST the two main colas on top and get loads of great clones from it.

I toped mine a week into flowering, the two new colas just wont continue to grow new nodes but be more like 2 big buds right next to eachother.
Ive gotta add though that this is the first time ive done that and the plant is only like 2-3 weeks in flowering

i've never topped during flowering but i prune, top and tie down during veg and i like the results

Here's a pic of one of my ladies, which has been topped and trained down toward the edges of the container.

Amazing results compared to my past grows that were not topped and trained.

what is LST?
