If I have 2 months of veg left, what would be the drawbacks to mainlining to 256 colas if Iโm 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. ๐ฑ๐

Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).Week 6

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?

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping dayI am mainlining the girl for an outdoor summer grow. I'm planning on topping next on the 3rd node after the 4th node is a bit more developed. After topping, I will remove nodes 1 & 2. I'm wondering if it would help or hurt to remove nodes 1 & 2 while nodes 3 & 4 are growing?

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

Mainline with Nebulas method for 10 topsHas anyone kept the second top node so you end up with 10 tops? ( Cutting off the bottom on the second node)
How did it work out?
Are there any drawbacks except space?
Would it be an uneven split of nutrients decreasing the yield on the 8 main tops?Other. General questions
