Which manifolding method should I apply?
fungiiiiiiistarted grow question 4 years ago
Trying to choose manifolding method, I've read about Nebula method (growweedeasy.com) and watched Lucky 75's method on youtube, so should I top it three times to get 8 colas or twice and heavely defoliate like Lucky. I would like to maximize yield given that I only have two autos

Hello friend, as others have stated autoflowers don't like to be stressed as they don't have enough time to recover.
Saying that, alot of people train there autos and the best thing about growing yourself is trying new things and learning from mistakes.
I myself am seeing some success with light lst, defoliation, and tip bending on my autoflowers. Check out my black dog grow compared to my untrained gelato grow.
In my opinion week 3 is getting very late for training an auto and is likely too late as the stems start to really strengthen up at this point.
Good luck and have fun that's what it's all about! Go crazy and experiment my friend. Checkout other people's diaries, find the big auto growers and ask them questions directly :)

If i wanted to lollipop this, how much should i take off? - lollipopping, scrogWhen and how much should i take off? - Considering she is not very tall, but very dense.
She has been defoliated quite heavily, both before and during flower stretch but i feel like she needs more.

autoflower, extended veg time, due to mainlining "topping,training" and stable genetics and pot size ?Could you in theory manipulate the veg time of an autoflower, by doing main-lining "lots of topping, training" with good genetics, oversized pot, 24 hour lights and good timing ?

Days between LST for mainline/manifold trainingFor mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?4 years ago

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

Main Lining in view?Hi everyone, I’m introducing you my little DoubleBanana Kush, she’s juste at C+21, she didn’t start with the best conditions.
My main question is, should I start main lining her, or I have to wait until the 5/6nodes?
Thank you guys 🙏🏽

Mainline with Nebulas method for 10 topsHas anyone kept the second top node so you end up with 10 tops? ( Cutting off the bottom on the second node)
How did it work out?
Are there any drawbacks except space?
Would it be an uneven split of nutrients decreasing the yield on the 8 main tops?Other. General questions

Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!
