Hi folks, just wondering the process of everyone training their mom plants, from young to fully grown, to produce good sized, healthy and a good amount of clones?

Your welcome Enjoy
Try everything and eventually it’s like your moms train themselves. I used to tie branches down, and did a couple of manifolds. But for me, the easiest things have been:
- Topping 3 times gives you 8 colas. Top 4 times for 16. That’s really effective for some plants but sometimes requires some adjustment.
- Kyle Kushman’s chiropractic technique takes a little bit of practice but not much. It works really well and takes no effort. https://youtu.be/XdfW2p-lHN0?si=FpgnQEsYLTuAJU2m I discovered I use this all the time without really thinking about it, sometimes when I’m doing something else. I see a cola that should be shorter, and Pow!
It’s done.
