Hi @Greenbean420 The PH of the irrigation water will control the PH value of your soil. If you water with a high PH, the soil will also have a high PH. All fertilizers tend to lower the pH of the water but it is always necessary to adjust with PH down, just as when you only give water you also have to adjust the pH to 6. I use the PH down from biobizz and I think it's great. On aliexpress they sell good PH meters for € 20. Tap water has to rest in open bottles away from sunlight to evaporate all the chlorine, the chlorine in 2L of water takes 24 hours to completely evaporate. for example if you have the water in 5L bottles you will have to leave it 2 and a half days for the chlorine to completely evaporate. Good luck mate

Well if you do a good job of LST, it can produce more, note "can". A lot depends on the plant/strain, topping just adds a growth tip and bushes out the plant until the tops recover. LST is going to bring bud sites into the light that topping just cannot duplicate, and keep plant size sort of managed. That said topping is done in a few minutes and thats it, LST will have to be touched up several times a week at certain stages. So... you da man
