ButtersStotchstarted grow question 5y ago
If I have 2 months of veg left, what would be the drawbacks to mainlining to 256 colas if I’m already at 64?

Congestion of 256 colas.... our shitty unstable weather. Might be a Ontario botrytis accident waiting to happen. But with adequate spacing and separation through training and some luck weather wise. Could be a huge trim party waiting to happen.

Only drawback you have from creating so many tops is that she won't focus on building any huge colas, builds a even canopy instead.

64? looks like 32... I would leave it at 32 tbh. I think otherwise you're going to create some issuse with the roots and space and airflow. 🌱👍

Overenthusiastic SupercropThink I overdid it with the supercropping. The worst branches hang below 90° but the growth seems healthy, everything turned up towards the sun the next day. I changed the worst so they're supported and less than 90°. Is there more I can do? A way to avoid splitting the skin ?

How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

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?

"Semi Main-Lining": Should I clean up the lower small grows on my 4 main branches?I am trying a (wrong) "semi"-mainlining...
TL;DR (my Diary)
1. Trained plant into a spiral
2. Got high, topped it
3. Cleaned 2 grows/nodes per branch
4. Bent main stem to grow horizontal = 2 lower & 2 upper branches
Should I clean 1-2 more nodes before flipping to 12/12

Main-Lining: cleanup center of plant and wait or stop cutting and switch to 12:12?I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture...
As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches.
But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?

Too many veggies (question re: length of veg time)?I’ve had this Amherst Sour Diesel vegging for months. Is there such a thing as vegging for too long?
Also, Miss Mia Wallace (as ive makes her) has had her share of issues from soils to nute issues and thrips. All seem to be under control.
Will this impact yield?

Flower Stretch and MainliningFlower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?4y ago

Yield EstimationHi growers!
Estimation needed on what I can expect per plant from my super skunk. They're in Week 9 of Veg, 38cm tall, mainlined for 8 colas. I want to switch them to 12/12 next week.
What can I expect as yield per plant and how is it gonna change if I wait a week longer?
