Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attempting
Tubington9started grow question 3 years ago
Seen a million different videos and techniques, just curious what method is best when manifolding/mainlining. Some people strip everything below the 3rd node when they initially top, some leave the bottom growth. Stripping means the plant will focus on new growth up top im aware.

I do something like nebulas manifolding technique from growweedeasy
If you type “nebulas manifold” in google it’ll pop up.
I’ve always felt that the first two nodes on the main stem never have the same vigor as nodes after it.. so I usually take them off completely and use the 3rd or 4th node.. i usually do one where I grow out two nodes so there’s 4 main branches coming off the main stem. It gets a bit crowded that way but it works.

"Semi Main-Lining": Should I clean up the lower small grows on my 4 main branches?I am trying a (wrong) "semi"-mainlining...
TL;DR (my Diary)
1. Trained plant into a spiral
2. Got high, topped it
3. Cleaned 2 grows/nodes per branch
4. Bent main stem to grow horizontal = 2 lower & 2 upper branches
Should I clean 1-2 more nodes before flipping to 12/12

Did I lollipop too much?Did I lollipop too much? Left the top node only and stripped all lower bud sites but I left the fan leaves intact. I’m planning on flipping to 12/12 in a week. By the time it’s done stretching will I have enough new nodes to form top colas, which is the goal here? Thanks growmies

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?

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.
