Main-lining: Where on the Plant to Remove New Growth Tips? When to Stop Cutting?
uselesslemmastarted grow question 4 years ago
Main-lining tutorials suggest removing new growth tips from the manifold (red, orange, blue) to avoid wasting energy; does this apply to the main colas (white) after the final topping? Should I remove or keep growth tips that emerge from nodes at each level?

Hello uselesslemma,
Keep the growth tips that emerge from nodes at each level. I see in your diary that you have a great progress going on!
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?Week 10

Near Schwazz Week 6 - AutoflowerMy plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?Week 6

DefoliationHey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tipsI have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips.
Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones?
Thanks for your help!

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.
