Too soon to begin mainline?
Fruitgroweranswered grow question 5 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!

Transplant first then wait at least a week before doing your training.. Imo. Happy growing man!👊

I would wait for after transplant and then some... so it isn't shocked by two different events at teh same time.

Why are my seedlings so leggy when they get enough light?I added pictures from 4 days after germ and wonder why my seedlings are so leggy (~5cm). I already filled it up with soil and they would be 10cm by now if I didn't. First 2 days was 12-14 DLI and since yesterday am giving them more light than many guides say: 250-270 PPFD, 18 DLI

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 ?
Ive experianced a few plants staying long in veg, without showing signs of stress or stunt.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Cover seedling for increased humidity?1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)?
2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?Setup. Seedling

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Buon giorno weed doctors, please help understand the issue, maybe smb has seen this before. I lost two seeds of the same cultivar to the same symptoms...TYTwo seeds, same cultivar, 1 week difference, both pop neck bended with white woody spot at the base of one of the cotyledons. Doesn't spray the leaves, the membrane wasn;'t getting off w/o help. And I know it's not substrate - 2 other breeders germinated 100% and look healthy. TY

Mould on seedlingThis seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?

Seedling leaves turning white, no true leavesWhy have my seedling leaves turned white? One of them sprouted 3 days ago and it’s first true leaves haven’t sprouted yet? I am growing in coco and perlite and watering with water and rhizotonic? Is it because I haven’t let the soil dry out and I’m watering it everyday?
