Should I remove these?

THC123started grow question 5y 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.👍

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?

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping day I am mainlining the girl for an outdoor summer grow. I'm planning on topping next on the 3rd node after the 4th node is a bit more developed. After topping, I will remove nodes 1 & 2. I'm wondering if it would help or hurt to remove nodes 1 & 2 while nodes 3 & 4 are growing?
