Should I remove these?
THC123started grow question 4 years ago
I am mainlining this plant, and I’m just coming to the end of the 1st week of flowering. I have a bunch of small growths, should I pinch them off? My thinking is that they will only be little popcorn buds, so why not just pinch them. Thoughts?

I personally would keep at least three nodes from the very top down. You still get those fat colas your after plus some more. You hurt yield imo by removing all but the one.. Happy growing!🤟😜

I would pinch em off...just because the whole beauty of mainlining is getting those long solid colas...the more off shoots you have the more it's going to pull away from your main 8 or however many you choose to keep.👍

Trim "armpit" branches?Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.Week 12

Too many veggies (question re: length of veg time)?I’ve had this Amherst Sour Diesel vegging for months. Is there such a thing as vegging for too long?
Also, Miss Mia Wallace (as ive makes her) has had her share of issues from soils to nute issues and thrips. All seem to be under control.
Will this impact yield?

As this is my first attempt at topping and mainlining I have no experiences to base my practices off of. From what I've read I should wait 2 weeks from my last topping to switch to flowering. I'm wondering if this is consistent with others experiences on GD. Thanks in advance!Week 7

Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).Week 6

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?5 years ago

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST.
Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)4 years ago

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?
