Mainlining Question
sacredgeometrystarted grow question 4 years ago
When should I start tying down my new mains? Should I let them grow out more? I feel like if I tie them to early they would just point up towards the light the next day and I would have to tie down again.

Yes let them grow out a bit more then tie down. You want the new leaves to be established before topping again also.
My last diary was mainline if you want to check it out. Good luck 🌱
Stonerdanswered grow question 4 years ago
I usually wait until the new growth shoots are at about 2-3 inches long (5-7.5cm) before tying them down just to let them develop and mature enough to handle the stress.
This is very subjective depending on your desired result and how much you intend to maintain her daily (the earlier you tie her down then the more frequent you'll need to readjust)
Hope this helps! good luck and happy growing!

Outdoor CanopyI know the importance of keeping a uniform canopy height when mainlining indoors but does it matter outdoors? Is the sunlight strong and mobile enough to distribute the light evenly or should I do my best to keep the canopy level?

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 ?

When should I do subsequent tops to form mainline?After 1st topping on mainline formation, how long should I wait to do next topping? Doing outdoor hot AZ grow. Been topping 3rd node as 4th begins forming. Am I too conservative? With 2 weeks between topping, concerned about running out of time.

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping dayI am mainlining the girl for an outdoor summer grow. I'm planning on topping next on the 3rd node after the 4th node is a bit more developed. After topping, I will remove nodes 1 & 2. I'm wondering if it would help or hurt to remove nodes 1 & 2 while nodes 3 & 4 are growing?

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?

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?3 years ago

Main-lining Guidance.First time attempt at main-lining. This breed gave me huge colas on my last grow and I’d love to have an even canopy of them! Any suggestions, comments or even criticisms are welcomed. I’d like to know what I am doing right or wrong and know how to do it better.
Thanks all!
