Too soon to begin mainline?
Fruitgroweranswered grow question 4 years ago
Yeah, good idea to transplant into final pot first. I would raise your lights a little to promote a bit more stretching. I normally wait until 5th node and cut to 3rd. Then remove nodes 1 and 2. Leave 1 fan leaf on either side. But it can be done earlier especially with autoflowers 👍🌱

Hi!
Basically mainlining is started when the plants have grown 5-6 nodes and you top to 3rd and remove the 1st and 2nd. So like the others said, maybe transfer to bigger pot and let them heal from it and then top. It might seem slower but the stress from topping etc will be much smaller when the plant is bigger and growing healthy again!

Pruning????Hello everyone.
I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto
It is the 7th week.
They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping?
Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?

PH problems (DWC)I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping dayI 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?

Do you poke holes in ur seedling dome cups?When using plastic cups to dome seedlings (never have so just curious) do you poke holes in the cup for ventilation? I’m aware the point is to help increase humidity during early stages which I’d like, but do they need vent holes?Setup. Seedling

When should I do subsequent tops to form mainline?After 1st topping on mainline formation, how long should I wait to do next topping? Doing outdoor hot AZ grow. Been topping 3rd node as 4th begins forming. Am I too conservative? With 2 weeks between topping, concerned about running out of time.
