Best Cannabis Plant Training Techniques for Bigger Yields?

Hey growers, I wanted to get your opinions on the most effective cannabis plant training techniques. I've tried a few methods like Low-Stress Training (LST) and Screen of Green (SCROG), but I'm curious how others are approaching it to maximize space and yield.

For me, LST works great because it's simple and doesn't stress the plants too much. Just a bit of bending and tying, and I can open up the canopy for better light coverage. SCROG has also been useful, especially in smaller grow tents where vertical space is limited.

I've seen some growers combine topping with LST or SCROG for even better results, but I haven't tried that yet. ¿Does it really make a big difference in bud size and overall yield? Also, ¿how do you decide when to start training? I usually begin when the plant has 4–5 nodes, but I've heard others wait longer.

Would love to hear what methods you guys prefer, what's worked best for you, and if you think combining techniques is worth the effort. Let's share experiences so we can all grow healthier plants and bigger harvests!
