Main Line Top
Shagrathanswered grow question 6y ago
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! ๐

Days between LST for mainline/manifold trainingFor mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?6y ago

autoflower, extended veg time, due to mainlining "topping,training" and stable genetics and pot size ?Could you in theory manipulate the veg time of an autoflower, by doing main-lining "lots of topping, training" with good genetics, oversized pot, 24 hour lights and good timing ?

Should I switch reg to larger tent? Looking for opinions, first time mainliningIm currently mainlining a reg seed, confirmed fem, in my 27x27 tent, plan was to move it to the 3x3 once the last plant was harvested. Received my order of autos and am thinking of doing autos in the 3x3 instead. Just wondering if the 27โx27โx56โ will be good for the reg?

Mainlining or Topping?
Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and Iโm unsure if itโs too early, too late, or just the right time for mainlining. I have no experience with this technique yet. Should I just top them instead? Any advice is appreciated! ๐

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.6y ago

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attemptingSeen a million different videos and techniques, just curious what method is best when manifolding/mainlining. Some people strip everything below the 3rd node when they initially top, some leave the bottom growth. Stripping means the plant will focus on new growth up top im aware.Techniques. Main-lining

Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).Week 6

Should i stop main lining 3?So i'm a newbie and i snapped the stem on main lining.
I tapped but left it bent.
My reasoning is that i don't think i will be able to bend it if it grows more.
4 is bendy and i went even maybe too much on it.
3 is too thick already.
Should i give up mainlining 3?
