Mainlining HST defoliation too much for one go?
Cremostarted grow question 5y ago
Hi guys, is mainlining + defoliation + HST in form of squishing the main stem at different places with my fingers and wiring the shit out of them too much for one go? :D (BTW. I didn't clean out everything underneath! Should I?)

well, they didn't snap ... you'd know by feel how much damage you caused internally better than the pictures will show. They are resilient plants, regardless. i always think mainling looks cool, lol.. fun to follow along

@Nobody01 that is so true. I know I didn't snap'em but I surely smooshed them quiet a bit and it felt like they'll have to deal with some kind of internal damage :) I'll probably cut the rest off when I see it finally branching out. Now I'm just not sure if it will :P

If ur goal is mainlineing than yes ud remove all the lower growth. Mainlineing is making uniform growth from 1 node off the main stalk. So ud want only 1 node worth of growth coming from the main stalk.

I'd probably have waited a bit longer to defoliate but that's up to you really! Happy growing!

As you can see in the pictures, the grow tent is super packed and full of green. Its the beginning of week 5 of flower and one of my concerns is the light not penetrating through the top. Should I defoliate or trim large fan leaves to thin it out or just let it grow?Week 4

Defoliating during floweringI'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?
