Top for mainlining too early
NobodysBudsanswered grow question 4 years ago
i realize mainlining is 'supposed' to strip so many leaves.. but try leaving a few more early on... it will power growth faster. can always clip them later or if they get in the way as needed. bend or tie them out in a different direction. light powers growth.. fewer solar panesl = less growth, incontrovertibly so.
Mainlining takes longer because they take so many leaves off and it's a pretty stressful training. heck, i've seen a plant stall just from normal LST. The benefit is the orgnization and airflow and.. etc... can grow healthier buds.
vege time shouldnt' impact how many harvests you get, as long as you hve a dedicated vege area. Just takes a little extra planning. So, the extra time is no problem for most.

Приветствую, бро! 👋 Всё хорошо, это дело личное - когда захотел, тогда и сделал topping. Растение развивается, тренируйтесь дальше! Успехов, бро! 👌😇👍

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.

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attemptingSeen a million different videos and techniques, just curious what method is best when manifolding/mainlining. Some people strip everything below the 3rd node when they initially top, some leave the bottom growth. Stripping means the plant will focus on new growth up top im aware.Techniques. Main-lining

Is it a problem if one main cola is longer then the other?Did my first topping/mainlining.
Right cola is longer then the left one, is it a problem or will they even out?
For now Im trying to break any apical dominance by holding the longer cola below the shorter one.
Any ideas how to deal with this?

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed.
The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend.
My question is, did I wait too long to top?

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?3 years ago

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!

Yellowing leaves after first Mainline top. Light stress?Just checking in here, I am pretty sure this is light stress. it was at 18" (specs say 18-24" during veg) and she was likely pretty stressed after having her top cut off!!!
I have raised light to 23". Am I on the right track here?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

Should I switch reg to larger tent? Looking for opinions, first time mainliningIm currently mainlining a reg seed, confirmed fem, in my 27x27 tent, plan was to move it to the 3x3 once the last plant was harvested. Received my order of autos and am thinking of doing autos in the 3x3 instead. Just wondering if the 27”x27”x56” will be good for the reg?
