Training and pruning

Training shapes a plant so light reaches more bud sites and the canopy stays even. Methods here include low stress training, topping, FIMming, supercropping, ScrOG, trellising and plant cages, plus pruning, lollipopping, defoliation and schwazzing. You’ll also learn how apical dominance and internode spacing affect shape, and how to manage stretch and height. For yield math and taking clones, see [Yield and clones](/training-and-yield/yield-and-clones/).
