Nugbuckets mainline questions
CapeSharkstarted grow question 5 years ago
Nugbuckets mainline for largest plant: to get a larger mainline plant I would wait for my plant to grow out 4 nodes then top to 3rd (for my second topping).. correct?
Also when should I remove my fan leaves from my 3rd node? They’re large than my hand atm.

The main reason for initially waiting with the first topping is to allow the plant to have an established root system and reduce any stress. For the second topping, you would do it as soon as possible (i.e. the 4th node has grown away from the 3rd for a safe topping) - otherwise you're just wasting time the plant has grown. As for the fan leaves, they power the growth so I only cut them once they are getting in the way - removing the growth tips is the important thing. Good luck whichever way you go.. it's all about building up experience.

Makes sense! It is more about building up a strong root system versus a larger base. I’m still learning here as what I would call my “first real attempt” at growing cannabis and truly appreciate all the help.
My plan will be to perform my second topping to the first node on this date. Will keep everyone updated!

Great, thank you for the quick responses. I suppose my question is.. will I benefit from continuing to be patient and let it grow a little longer before performing the second topping. She really hasn’t skipped a beat at the moment and there is sufficient space for me to top the plant again today (6 days since last topping, please see added pics)
I have seen both approaches done but being that I am growing 1 NL in a 48”x48”x80” tent I want to make sure I maximize my grow space. I am curious whether creating a larger base will allow for this to happen..
Also to note: I am in the middle of performing a gradual 48-hr flush

Hi there!
I did my first grow with the same method and I think you can remove those biggest leaves already!
What comes to the second and third topping, you should wait until the plant is growing vigorously (Healed fully from last topping) and then top again and you can chose the node yourself. I would top from the first node 'cos they should be the biggest branches and therefore I believe that it is faster to continue if you leave the first ones.

Auto Flower Main LiningWhen growing Auto flowers, Will main-lining delay flowering or will it continue to flower at the same rate regardless? I am experimenting with trying a 4 way Main line with my 28 day auto. I hope it grows out more before it kicks into flowering. no signs of pistils.

Mainlining worth it!I used to think mainlining wasn’t worth it because of the longer veg time but, that seems to be the only downside. Theres way more advantages with this technique I’ve found, especially after my latest grow.
What do you guys think about mainlining?

Number of colasTo other growers which top and manifold their plants, do you prefer fewer branches with big colas for example 6 or 8 main colas with everything else trimmed off, or do you prefer as many branches as possible as long as they reach the top canopy?

Is this normal growth for a mail-lined plant?I mainlined 8 colas on both plants. Each one has a small stem growing at the beginning of each cola. Is that normal growth for a main-line? I thought at this stage it would be just 8 long colas.
Should I remove them or just leave them?
