Do I Let these branches grow?

THC123started grow question 5y ago

I am mainlining this plant, but I’m not sure if I let the branches grow off at the every node or snip them off so the focus goes to the main cola?

You want those yo.. don't snip them off.. you can leave like 2-3 sites below the main one and be ok! Happy growing! 👊

mainlining should be split at a node of symetrical growth (if not a clone) and then again as many times as you want until foundation is set. This one looks cool, found searching "marijuana mainlining" on duckduckgo images: https://imgur.com/qnpPYDu

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).

secondary branches stretch during flowering I'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?
