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

Training?
How exactly should I go about this plant when it comes to training? I've not grown a fem in a while and I'm just looking for a full canopy (or as full as possible). I know about topping, fimming and tieing down the branches, but is there some other/better techniques?

Number of colas
To other growers which top and manifold their plants, do you prefer fewer branches with big colas for example 6 or 8 main colas with everything else trimmed off, or do you prefer as many branches as possible as long as they reach the top canopy?

Split in mainline
Noticed this split at the base of Natasha's mainline. I don't think it's getting any bigger but I'm not sure. Should I cover the opening with tape to try and keep out water/bacteria? Ziptie around the stem to prevent further splitting?

Perfect Mainline End look for maximum yield
First decent mainline grow from seed. Still learning. Avoided keeping tiny branches to avoid popcorn buds. Now that they are still vegging but have the shape I want, do I leave the branches now? Or chop tiny low ones to try and get THICK single nug branches?

Remove lower branches on this grow?
Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.

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?

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?

Transplant before or after topping?
I've decided to do Manifolding with my plants. They are currently in 4 inch pots. When should I transplant them? Before topping them? What size pot should I transplant to? I'm growing 5 plants in a 4x4. Thank you for any help you can provide :).

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!

How many colas can I fit in a 2ftx2ft before crowding becomes an issue?
I will be mainlining my plants to 8-16 mains and I'm trying to decide how many plants I can fit in. I was thinking between 2-4 plants, which would be 16-64 colas in that 2ft x 2ft area.

Mainline 3rd topping with only 7 nodes?
I'm using mainlining tech for one plant, the thing is one of the nodes didn't stretch yet, there's only one, I'm supposed to topping the 3rd node this week in order to have 8 main colas, but it looks like I have only 7, any ideas what it can be? I have no idea what it is.

Mainlining not so symmetrical?
I started my first indoor grow off with mainlining and 2 of my branches are growing nodes in a staggered formation, whereas the other 2 are growing symmetrical nodes. Does anyone know why this is happening? It’s grown from seed.
