Do I Let these branches grow?
THC123
started 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

How far do you defoliate your mainlined autos?
A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?

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?)

Fan leaves during main-lining
Do you recommend leaving the fan leaves when doing main-lining, or should I remove them? My thought is that through those leaves, the plant will continue photosynthesizing more efficiently and won't experience as much stress. What do you recommend—should I remove them or not?

DWCbadassquestionmark
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?

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.

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?
some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering. probably should not defoliate for another week right? thanks!
