ButtersStotchstarted grow question 6y 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. 🌱👍

Fan leaves during main-liningDo you recommend leaving the fan leaves when doing main-lining, or should I remove them? My thought is that through those leaves, the plant will continue photosynthesizing more efficiently and won't experience as much stress. What do you recommend—should I remove them or not?Week 3

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?

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

Nugg Buckets Mainlining QuestionNugg Buckets
• The main colas are developing lots of side branching, I feel like I should remove these, as I do not think this is what we want, am I correct with this?
Anyone with knowledge of this style of growing please let me know your thoughts.

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?5y ago

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering.
probably should not defoliate for another week right?
thanks!3y ago

Training?How exactly should I go about this plant when it comes to training? I've not grown a fem in a while and I'm just looking for a full canopy (or as full as possible). I know about topping, fimming and tieing down the branches, but is there some other/better techniques?5y ago

Dejo 2 puntas o 6.I have a 150w LED for four plants, and I did main-lining on one of them, and it's growing two new shoots per stem. Should I leave just two tips or make a total of 6 tips with the 4 shoots visible in the photos? Thanks, stoners!

Grow techniquesAny of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂
I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches4y ago

Potential causes and fixes for magnesium deficiencyMy runoff EC and PH are normal and I am adding calmag to every feeding so not sure why I might have magnesium deficiencies.
Aside from giving them just a calmag feeding and foliars, any tips on what I can do and why this is even happening?
