First time trying main-lining. I have 8 colas, just started 12-12. Do I just let it go now letting side branches grow out ? Occasionally trim and tuck any leaves covering buds? Or trim side growth also?

Mainline 3rd topping with only 7 nodes?
I'm using mainlining tech for one plant, the thing is one of the nodes didn't stretch yet, there's only one, I'm supposed to topping the 3rd node this week in order to have 8 main colas, but it looks like I have only 7, any ideas what it can be? I have no idea what it is.

Auto's and Training????
Being that the life cycle of these Auto's are so quick. Should the topping, cutting, training methods be used? Should I just let em go with some LST manipulation? First Time Grower here...THANKS for your input!!!

Mainlining or Topping? Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and I’m unsure if it’s 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! 🙏

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.

Perfect Mainline End look for maximum yield
First decent mainline grow from seed. Still learning. Avoided keeping tiny branches to avoid popcorn buds. Now that they are still vegging but have the shape I want, do I leave the branches now? Or chop tiny low ones to try and get THICK single nug branches?

How many colas can I fit in a 2ftx2ft before crowding becomes an issue?
I will be mainlining my plants to 8-16 mains and I'm trying to decide how many plants I can fit in. I was thinking between 2-4 plants, which would be 16-64 colas in that 2ft x 2ft area.

Nugbuckets mainline questions
Nugbuckets mainline for largest plant: to get a larger mainline plant I would wait for my plant to grow out 4 nodes then top to 3rd (for my second topping).. correct? Also when should I remove my fan leaves from my 3rd node? They’re large than my hand atm.

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?

Should I switch reg to larger tent? Looking for opinions, first time mainlining
Im currently mainlining a reg seed, confirmed fem, in my 27x27 tent, plan was to move it to the 3x3 once the last plant was harvested. Received my order of autos and am thinking of doing autos in the 3x3 instead. Just wondering if the 27”x27”x56” will be good for the reg?

Training?
How exactly should I go about this plant when it comes to training? I've not grown a fem in a while and I'm just looking for a full canopy (or as full as possible). I know about topping, fimming and tieing down the branches, but is there some other/better techniques?

secondary branches stretch during flowering
I've been growing Moby Dick using a mainlining technique. During the stretch phase, some secondary branches have grown a lot and are not close to the main stem anymore. Should I keep them? Should I cut? Will they help making big, fat colas?
