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. 🌱👍

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.

Question about mainlining
Im getting ready for the outdoor season..planing to mainline a stativa strain+indica strain. My question is: when you have already done your last topping and you're now letting your plant grow out, do you cut off the side branches growing out from the mains or do you leave them?

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower 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?

Transplant Before or After Training?
Just starting third week of veg and all plants have 3 or 4 nodes. I'm planning on topping and manifolding them. When should I move from 1L to 7L (final home)? Before or after I start training? I want to minimize any shock/recovery to the plant Thanks - you guys are awesome

Main lining early
What are the pros and cons to main lining the Second node and Is it to low to start? I’m in a 2x2x5 and want to start as soon as I can. What is the the soonest I can start if not the 2nd node?

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?
I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Number of colas
To 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?

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?

Auto Flower Main Lining
When 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.

Broken Branch
I broke a branch while tying down my mains. The branch almost broke completely off. I splinted the branch in place and used some tape to secure it to the branch. Will my branch recover from this?

Mainlining Question
When should I start tying down my new mains? Should I let them grow out more? I feel like if I tie them to early they would just point up towards the light the next day and I would have to tie down again.

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Remove lower branches on this grow?
Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.
