Hey!
If you can main-line with only LST and no topping, you can work for a even canopy and therefore get much more yield, also the quality of the buds will be better because of better light penetration on all bud sites.

Overenthusiastic SupercropThink I overdid it with the supercropping. The worst branches hang below 90° 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 90°. Is there more I can do? A way to avoid splitting the skin ?

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering.
probably should not defoliate for another week right?
thanks!3y ago

Main-Lining: cleanup center of plant and wait or stop cutting and switch to 12:12?I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture...
As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches.
But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?

Pruning????Hello everyone.
I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto
It is the 7th week.
They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping?
Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

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?

Nugg Buckets Mainlining QuestionNugg Buckets
• The main colas are developing lots of side branching, I feel like I should remove these, as I do not think this is what we want, am I correct with this?
Anyone with knowledge of this style of growing please let me know your thoughts.

Grow techniquesAny of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂
I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches4y ago
