If I have 2 months of veg left, what would be the drawbacks to mainlining to 256 colas if Iβm 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. π±π

secondary branches stretch during floweringI've been growing Moby Dick using a mainlining technique. During the stretch phase, some secondary branches have grown a lot and are not close to the main stem anymore. Should I keep them? Should I cut? Will they help making big, fat colas?

Trim "armpit" branches?Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.Week 12

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.

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?

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attemptingSeen a million different videos and techniques, just curious what method is best when manifolding/mainlining. Some people strip everything below the 3rd node when they initially top, some leave the bottom growth. Stripping means the plant will focus on new growth up top im aware.Techniques. Main-lining

Overenthusiastic SupercropThink I overdid it with the supercropping. The worst branches hang below 90Β° 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 90Β°. Is there more I can do? A way to avoid splitting the skin ?

Days between LST for mainline/manifold trainingFor mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?6y ago
