We often champion Low Stress Training, framing it as the gentle alternative to high-shock topping. But let's look closer at the timer. The 'Gardener’s Bow' technique demands daily redirection, patiently forcing the primary meristem into horizontal subservience. While the initial stress is low, the *chronic* interruption of vertical expansion is undeniable. The plant spends energy re-establishing dominance flow laterally rather than rocketing skyward.
