Mainlining
Shagrathanswered grow question 6y ago
Hi there!
I think this is kinda up to your own preference but I took them off when I did the second topping and removed all the excess at one time to get all the stress to same day.
You can remove them now if you want. Should not hurt that much imo

Mainlining worth it!I used to think mainlining wasn’t worth it because of the longer veg time but, that seems to be the only downside. Theres way more advantages with this technique I’ve found, especially after my latest grow.
What do you guys think about mainlining?

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?

Yield EstimationHi growers!
Estimation needed on what I can expect per plant from my super skunk. They're in Week 9 of Veg, 38cm tall, mainlined for 8 colas. I want to switch them to 12/12 next week.
What can I expect as yield per plant and how is it gonna change if I wait a week longer?

Main-Lining: cleanup center of plant and wait or stop cutting and switch to 12:12?I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture...
As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches.
But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed
