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

Outdoor Canopy I know the importance of keeping a uniform canopy height when mainlining indoors but does it matter outdoors? Is the sunlight strong and mobile enough to distribute the light evenly or should I do my best to keep the canopy level?

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

Mainlining I’m kind of new to training colas as in topping and mainlining. When main lining after I top I want to end up with 12 colas on each plant do I cut everything that isn’t growing on the main colas?

Mainlining or Topping? Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and I’m unsure if it’s too early, too late, or just the right time for mainlining. I have no experience with this technique yet. Should I just top them instead? Any advice is appreciated! 🙏
