===Topping===
Removing the growth at the top of a branch. This can be used to create two new heads at the top of the branch.
===Mainlining===
By trimming the top of the main stem, one can create a manifold ('Y' shaped stem). This forces the plant to split resources between the remaining branches, creating a more even canopy. This should be done when the plant a) has at least three nodes, b) when it is healthy and c) while it is still vegetating. After creating a manifold, LST should be applied to maintain the shape of the plant.
