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.

"Semi Main-Lining": Should I clean up the lower small grows on my 4 main branches?I am trying a (wrong) "semi"-mainlining...
TL;DR (my Diary)
1. Trained plant into a spiral
2. Got high, topped it
3. Cleaned 2 grows/nodes per branch
4. Bent main stem to grow horizontal = 2 lower & 2 upper branches
Should I clean 1-2 more nodes before flipping to 12/12

Tips for Mainlining and is this right approach ?First time trying to main-line the plant. I had total 4 nodes when I topped the plant. Now 2 days later, I have cut very bottom node and third node; with thought of keeping only 2 nodes which will grow into 4 main-lines. Is this approach okay? Any improvement suggestions?

Did I lollipop too much?Did I lollipop too much? Left the top node only and stripped all lower bud sites but I left the fan leaves intact. I’m planning on flipping to 12/12 in a week. By the time it’s done stretching will I have enough new nodes to form top colas, which is the goal here? Thanks growmies
