If they don't appear to be stressed after a couple days after training, you should be ok to keep on training.

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?
I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

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.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.
Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

Grow techniques
Any 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 branches

Number of colas
To other growers which top and manifold their plants, do you prefer fewer branches with big colas for example 6 or 8 main colas with everything else trimmed off, or do you prefer as many branches as possible as long as they reach the top canopy?

"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

Mainline inconsistency
I started mainlining my plant and one of the main branches stopped growing completely :s Anyone seen this before? I’ll probably have to top her a few more times to make up for it.

Summer is super warm and not windy. I have a humidifier, i am foliar spraying her with aloe vera and liquid kelp but unfortunately the 3rd node leaves are already burnt. How can i make sure the leaves will still help her going through the mainlining training stress properly?

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?
