Do I Let these branches grow?

THC123
THC123started grow question 6y 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

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST. Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)

Main-lining Guidance.First time attempt at main-lining. This breed gave me huge colas on my last grow and I’d love to have an even canopy of them! Any suggestions, comments or even criticisms are welcomed. I’d like to know what I am doing right or wrong and know how to do it better. Thanks all!Easy Rider

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?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.

Outdoor CanopyI 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?Outdoor 2022 - 2nd Grow
