Fav training technique

Hi all!

Recently read about backbuilding technique for denser and fatter buds. Has any of you tried it? Is it worth?
Also i would be happy to know any other training methods

Where did you read? Do you have a link? :smiley:

I usually top after 6 nodes, then train harsh and kinky with tie-downs directly to the pot making the canopy spread out like a whore so the entire length of the branches are exposed resulting in more bud-sites.

In terms of training I taught my plants to sit and stay. 100% success.

Sometimes I top and sometimes I don’t but I always tie down.

For a specific and time-tested high yield training technique take a look at how @BU2B coaxes a pound per plant harvest.

Here’s what he did with his first try at autoflowers:

6 nodes is the magic number for me.

I’ve never topped but I do bend the main stalk big time, after awhile it will try to right itself and it has the same effect…bushier plants.

I top at five nodes after sexing and then supercrop the bush into a basket with a couple gentle bends and twists at a time

10/12 nodes then tie down the tops and again tie the branches, i do occasionally top but it’s to limit branches.


I’ve heard about back building but idk what it is, possibly the same as fimming in early flower?

Eta… Plant after tying, then flowering.

This is my favorite way to train for a tent.I get them to the point the plant will almost poke out an eye on the led lights and I take that top and bend her down to a 40 degree angle a couple weeks before I flip,makes nice rounded out tops that bush out and fill up the canopy but not too crazy so you can space manage 2 plants.I’m trying to grow at least 2 different cultivars I never get strain burnout anymore with this,with the exception of the Turkish twist that stuff has been the same high since I first tried it out never changes always smokes

good.I sacrifice a main log bud but I get 23 other tops that will put out a nice medium size cola to max out that yield that are pretty much the same quality if not better because I have so many more tops to get all that light they were missing the Texada loves it the Chem91\GG#4 was left alone and was just a regular 6 node top.Definitely see the difference in mass
