Not necessarily best. I think a top and growing out will work just as well. Keen to watch her go. Yes. She will go beasty as soon as she gets enough leaves to power her.

A couple of years ago I grew the LC 18 from reg seed on the mountainside Otter, and mine was heavily seeded after a rogue pollination so I am looking forward to seeing yours in full bloom.
My two cents - I agree with @Lerugged. I find I get just as much yield from minimal training except topping and leaving them go. You get long stems and lots of bud that way, and as you see I do the Sombrero thing a lot. You want more colas? Top some side branches. The best yields I’ve gotten have been from this method. That said, it’s not all about yield, right? Scrogs are easy and eliminate a lot of rigamaroles. You have an interesting choice. It’s one of my faves of all the choices we make in a grow.
But being a pure sativa she will stretch plenty and maybe it's just me but, it seems more productive having the long internodes taking up horizontal real estate instead of vertical space. Just throwing it out there.
I'm by no means an indoor grower so I am sure there will be better methods.
There are two phenos. The rounder leaves make me think yours is the more dense one. Should have short thick pistils and produce denser nugs than the other.

We have family coming today so tomorrow I plan on reconfiguring the tents again so she can start her solo grow in this 3 x 3 tomorrow. She's on the move!
Rogue pollen is a nightmare! I'm sorry that happened. I've been lucky so far here. Ya never know outside. I'm lucky to grow inside and out!
These ultra sativas have minds of their own. I never understood my Nevilles Haze but she kept making delicious yet ugly bud. My goal for this one is simply to keep a healthy plant that fits in the tent. Not too much anything.
Cool You see it already. I can live with that
! I'm going to spread her out the best I can.We'll see which pheno soon for sure! I see they're thin but not ultra thin.
I hit a branch on the IKLWA with sts twice so far. Do you keep using it until you see male parts? Might have started early? I don't know.
I spray 3 days before flip and on flip and then I spray every 3 days until the balls are about to open.
I'd advise pollinating a clone if you want to make fems. Not the same plant. A clone from the same plant is perfect. Just not the plant you sprayed. I tried it once on the same plant and got a pile of seeds that mostly herm. If you are crossing then all good to go. This is just what I've found, others might have found differently.
That LC-18 will fill the tent for sure. Nice

I was going to cut the branch and try to keep it alive in water as it opens its sacs in a room in the house away from others. Collect pollen and dust a bud on the same plant. Interesting hermie situation you mention. I haven't heard that scenario before. I don't feel so gung ho now. I thought it was the way to go.

It was that fast Bode so we should have well done bud in September. Also early frost and lots of it! How stinky is yours? My FSIL (future son in law) says he smells mine from 100 feet away.
But you've gone nose blind?
Don't let me put you off. Try it Mr O. Just keep the pollen around incase, you can always do another plant at a later stage if you need.

As long as you guys are talking pollen, I have a question: my Oregon Yoda sent me some Sweet Tooth #3 pollen. It is my understanding, mostly from watching SO do it, that I could apply pollen to a select branch or bud, and only that branch would generate seeds. Is this correct? And does it apply to autos too? And then the seeds I generate - are the female? Thanks fellahs!
Pretty much. Yes.
If using Pollen from a few different feminising techniques then, yes they will be feminised. If it's regular pollen from a studly dad, then, the seeds will be mix of male and female. Those are referred to as regs or regular.
Autos work the same. Just on a scedule

Ah. Thanks! It is regular pollen from the studliest of dads. So regular seeds. No problem using photoperiod pollen to make auto seeds? And when is the right time to apply? Thanks @Lerugged !
No worries.
Well, if you use regular pollen on an auto mom, the resulting seeds will be around 50% auto and 50% photo.
To make a lot of seed, I start dusting the plant (branch) from week 2 of flower.
Once a week for next 2 to 5 weeks
I can let the plants go longer as my window is different, I'm after seeds not buds so trichome ripeness is of no influence.

I have some STS and some pollen, and thinking about playing with my Soul Diesel to see what happens. Different locations of course. Never did this so, following alone for a clue.

Cool, I can live vicariously through you. Lol! Cuz me neither, and it scares me to be honest. I don’t want to seed my grow by mistake.
Best thing to do is isolate the target plant and then put a plastic bag over the target branch and spray the rest of the plant down well with water which kills pollen.
Then carefully uncover and dust the target branch, recover it and spray the rest of the plant with water again.
Maybe a bit overkill, but if you don't want to seed your entire plant, an extra step or two might be worth it.
Thanks @Azimuth! I’m all about overkill in this scenario.
Brown paper bag. Mist the shiz out of the plant except for the branch you want to seed. Add some pollen to the bag. Seal it up and leave from 3 hours until a day. Before you take it off, mist the entire plant again and gently slip the bag off while misting into the bag.
Spray down entire plant including the branch you pollinated.
Jump into the shower clothes and all and get your soak on. Dry up and good to go.
