Hi! I'd top at the first node but I would wait until the branches have developed a little bit more. I think you want to create your manifold as soon as possible so you can start to train your main branches only! 👌

Outdoor Canopy I know the importance of keeping a uniform canopy height when mainlining indoors but does it matter outdoors? Is the sunlight strong and mobile enough to distribute the light evenly or should I do my best to keep the canopy level?

Overenthusiastic Supercrop Think I overdid it with the supercropping. The worst branches hang below 90° but the growth seems healthy, everything turned up towards the sun the next day. I changed the worst so they're supported and less than 90°. Is there more I can do? A way to avoid splitting the skin ?

Broke Stem branch while main-lining Now it's standing straight up to heal It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect? Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining? Should I just release the other branch? Or wait until it's healed and continue? Thanks for your tips and inputs!

"Semi Main-Lining": Should I clean up the lower small grows on my 4 main branches?I am trying a (wrong) "semi"-mainlining... TL;DR (my Diary) 1. Trained plant into a spiral 2. Got high, topped it 3. Cleaned 2 grows/nodes per branch 4. Bent main stem to grow horizontal = 2 lower & 2 upper branches Should I clean 1-2 more nodes before flipping to 12/12

As this is my first attempt at topping and mainlining I have no experiences to base my practices off of. From what I've read I should wait 2 weeks from my last topping to switch to flowering. I'm wondering if this is consistent with others experiences on GD. Thanks in advance!

Split in mainline Noticed this split at the base of Natasha's mainline. I don't think it's getting any bigger but I'm not sure. Should I cover the opening with tape to try and keep out water/bacteria? Ziptie around the stem to prevent further splitting?

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping day I am mainlining the girl for an outdoor summer grow. I'm planning on topping next on the 3rd node after the 4th node is a bit more developed. After topping, I will remove nodes 1 & 2. I'm wondering if it would help or hurt to remove nodes 1 & 2 while nodes 3 & 4 are growing?

Mainlining I’m kind of new to training colas as in topping and mainlining. When main lining after I top I want to end up with 12 colas on each plant do I cut everything that isn’t growing on the main colas?
