Do I Let these branches grow?
Do I Let these branches grow?

started grow question 5 years 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

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?

So I just did topping for 8 colas Should I leave the big fan leaves on for a few days or is that taking away from new growth?

Main-lining
First time trying main-lining. I have 8 colas, just started 12-12. Do I just let it go now letting side branches grow out ? Occasionally trim and tuck any leaves covering buds? Or trim side growth also?

Should i stop main lining 3?
So i'm a newbie and i snapped the stem on main lining. I tapped but left it bent. My reasoning is that i don't think i will be able to bend it if it grows more. 4 is bendy and i went even maybe too much on it. 3 is too thick already. Should i give up mainlining 3?

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)

Nugbuckets mainline questions
Nugbuckets mainline for largest plant: to get a larger mainline plant I would wait for my plant to grow out 4 nodes then top to 3rd (for my second topping).. correct? Also when should I remove my fan leaves from my 3rd node? They’re large than my hand atm.

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?
I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

Mainlining HST defoliation too much for one go?
Hi guys, is mainlining + defoliation + HST in form of squishing the main stem at different places with my fingers and wiring the shit out of them too much for one go? :D (BTW. I didn't clean out everything underneath! Should I?)

When to flip a mainline grow?
My grow is far from perfect, but ideally, when is a mainlined plant good to start flowering to get a large yeild? Just moved mine to finishing containers, pretty stalky, but not a lot of leaves due to method. Worried it would impede growth.

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?
Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

When to mainline
I want to try main-lining with this plant, when should it best be snipped at the first noad, do I wait for a few noads or do I cut it as soon as possible because of its short life cycle?
