Itβs ok. you could have held another internode and flexed your arms more. You have done the cut on a nice big trunk be careful that the exposed wound does not rot, perhaps it was better to start earlier and more calmly

Yield Estimation
Hi growers! Estimation needed on what I can expect per plant from my super skunk. They're in Week 9 of Veg, 38cm tall, mainlined for 8 colas. I want to switch them to 12/12 next week. What can I expect as yield per plant and how is it gonna change if I wait a week longer?

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?
Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

Misanthrope
Overenthusiastic Supercrop
Think I overdid it with the supercropping. The worst branches hang below 90Β° but the growth seems healthy, everything turned up towards the sun the next day. I changed the worst so they're supported and less than 90Β°. Is there more I can do? A way to avoid splitting the skin ?

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.

Mainlining or Topping? Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and Iβm unsure if itβs too early, too late, or just the right time for mainlining. I have no experience with this technique yet. Should I just top them instead? Any advice is appreciated! π

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?
I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.
