The suckers are new growth tips and will turn into new colas. I will usually pull off the new growth tips that grow beneath the branch and let any of the ones on the sides or top grow out. For a proper mainline I think you're going to want to pull off all of the growth tips before the nodes you top at.
Here is probably the most informative and thorough website I've found on topping/mainlining/manifolding:

Good luck in your grow, your plants look good!

yes those suckers will turn into colas too, just keep in mind that more colas does not mean more yield. it is a matter of wanting less, but bigger colas or the other way around.

If your just looking for mains only then pluck everything. If you want some popcorn or to leave some bud to grow up from centre do that.
All depends what your looking to do man but with plants you can pretty much shape em how you like.

How long until the harvest for this smaller Gorilla Auto1? (photos with tricomes)Howdy, I need help to understand when to harvest.
I upload photos taken with a microscope to show tricomes maturation.
This is the hardest thing for me, because I suck with colours, to hold the microscope still.

General plant health/ look,,, Pistil color? Herming? Other concerning stuff?I'm curious about the general look of my 2 plants for their time. ending week 5/ starting week 6. First 4 pics are "black sugar", the last 2 pics are "white widow". Should the pistils be this color this early? Any herming? Any other very concerning things? Thanks so much!

Hermaphrodites or bananas?Finished week 5 of flowering- just wondering if anyone sees signs of herming or bananas. A plant hermed next to these, so I'm hoping i caught it early enough, before it got a chance to drop any pollen. The first 4 pics are of 1 plant, the last 2 pics are of a different plant.

Trichome Advice--Cloudy enough to stop giving nutes??I'm trying to figure out when I should stop giving nutes. I've read 1-2 weeks before harvest when the trichomes turn Amber. My question is: Based on these trichomes, when would you stop giving nutes? Do they look cloudy enough to stop now? Or should I wait until I see amber?

Flowering/Preflowering/Showing Sex in Vegative stage?Today I noticed all my outdoor plants have pistils after being 3-5weeks outside. Is this normal and will they continue veg due to increasing days/temps? Also, could this be reversed with additional light? Currently in the 7th week of Spring with 14h light and 13h sunrise.
