answered grow question 6y ago
It’s 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

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.

How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?
How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.

Number of colas
To other growers which top and manifold their plants, do you prefer fewer branches with big colas for example 6 or 8 main colas with everything else trimmed off, or do you prefer as many branches as possible as long as they reach the top canopy?

Mainline inconsistency
I started mainlining my plant and one of the main branches stopped growing completely :s Anyone seen this before? I’ll probably have to top her a few more times to make up for it.

Prune everything below the top-most node?
So what do you guys reckon: should I prune everything below the top-most nodes one last time at the end of first week of flower to control the colas better? Rows of green on youtube does exactly that in his mainline series.

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?

Mainline with Nebulas method for 10 tops
Has 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?

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 worth it!
I used to think mainlining wasn’t worth it because of the longer veg time but, that seems to be the only downside. Theres way more advantages with this technique I’ve found, especially after my latest grow. What do you guys think about mainlining?

Is it a problem if one main cola is longer then the other?
Did my first topping/mainlining. Right cola is longer then the left one, is it a problem or will they even out? For now Im trying to break any apical dominance by holding the longer cola below the shorter one. Any ideas how to deal with this?
