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

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.

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.

Too many veggies (question re: length of veg time)?
I’ve had this Amherst Sour Diesel vegging for months. Is there such a thing as vegging for too long? Also, Miss Mia Wallace (as ive makes her) has had her share of issues from soils to nute issues and thrips. All seem to be under control. Will this impact yield?

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.

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping day
I 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?

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?

Mainlining HST defoliation too much for one go?
Hi guys, is mainlining + defoliation + HST in form of squishing the main stem at different places with my fingers and wiring the shit out of them too much for one go? :D (BTW. I didn't clean out everything underneath! Should I?)

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.

Tieing down colas
Should I tie down the main colas on these girls to get a more even spread to or just keep letting them do their thing since they are growing into monsters and looking pretty even. Is it to late to tie down the main cola as well will this stress thre out during her stretch phase?

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?

Should i stop main lining 3?
So i'm a newbie and i snapped the stem on main lining. I tapped but left it bent. My reasoning is that i don't think i will be able to bend it if it grows more. 4 is bendy and i went even maybe too much on it. 3 is too thick already. Should i give up mainlining 3?

First time trying main-lining. I have 8 colas, just started 12-12. Do I just let it go now letting side branches grow out ? Occasionally trim and tuck any leaves covering buds? Or trim side growth also?
