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

Mainlining or Topping? Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and I’m unsure if it’s too early, too late, or just the right time for mainlining. I have no experience with this technique yet. Should I just top them instead? Any advice is appreciated! 🙏

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attempting
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.

Yellowing leaves after first Mainline top. Light stress?
Just checking in here, I am pretty sure this is light stress. it was at 18" (specs say 18-24" during veg) and she was likely pretty stressed after having her top cut off!!! I have raised light to 23". Am I on the right track here?

Fan leaves during main-lining
Do you recommend leaving the fan leaves when doing main-lining, or should I remove them? My thought is that through those leaves, the plant will continue photosynthesizing more efficiently and won't experience as much stress. What do you recommend—should I remove them or not?

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.

Perfect Mainline End look for maximum yield
First decent mainline grow from seed. Still learning. Avoided keeping tiny branches to avoid popcorn buds. Now that they are still vegging but have the shape I want, do I leave the branches now? Or chop tiny low ones to try and get THICK single nug branches?

Auto Flower Main Lining
When growing Auto flowers, Will main-lining delay flowering or will it continue to flower at the same rate regardless? I am experimenting with trying a 4 way Main line with my 28 day auto. I hope it grows out more before it kicks into flowering. no signs of pistils.

Transplant before or after topping?
I've decided to do Manifolding with my plants. They are currently in 4 inch pots. When should I transplant them? Before topping them? What size pot should I transplant to? I'm growing 5 plants in a 4x4. Thank you for any help you can provide :).

How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?
How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.

Applying main-lining on Hulkberry automatic strain.
Is it safe? Or, since the lifetime of the plant is so short, better to not even think about it.

Prune everything below the top-most node?
So what do you guys reckon: should I prune everything below the top-most nodes one last time at the end of first week of flower to control the colas better? Rows of green on youtube does exactly that in his mainline series.

Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).
