Training?
SugarBoogersstarted grow question 3 years ago
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?

Top early at least once, the LST all the way. I throw 4 pieces of timber down around the plant and hammer in nails 50mm apart. I then tie down and anchor the larger branches then LST more through the grow, stop this in early flower.
Also, defoliate fan leaves hard on flip, then again 3 weeks into flower. Hope this helps :)

Shoot i thought i just reacted but seems i didnt.
Every tried growing the plant till the 7th or 8th node and then cut it of at the 3rd node? Have seen some great grows with this resulting in solid double or fourfolded mains

Sounds like you already know most of the techniques.
Then next step would be like high stress techniques like super cropping and mainlining.
There’s no right or wrong way to go about it. You kinda have to decide what is right for you and your grow.
For the most part some LST is a good way to go. Topping to me is more if you want really start shaping a plant.
Really depends how far you want to take it. Good luck with your grow friend 🤙

Main Lining in view?Hi everyone, I’m introducing you my little DoubleBanana Kush, she’s juste at C+21, she didn’t start with the best conditions.
My main question is, should I start main lining her, or I have to wait until the 5/6nodes?
Thank you guys 🙏🏽

Mainline with Nebulas method for 10 topsHas anyone kept the second top node so you end up with 10 tops? ( Cutting off the bottom on the second node)
How did it work out?
Are there any drawbacks except space?
Would it be an uneven split of nutrients decreasing the yield on the 8 main tops?Other. General questions

Accidentally super cropped my autoHello, I've accidentally snapped the main branch while doing some LST which resulted in an unwanted super crop. It's a Northern Lights auto and I'm worried it won't recover since it's already in flower. What do you guys think will the plant recover?

Broke Stem branch while main-liningNow it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining:
Is there any difference or what would be preferred between:
Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍4 years ago

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?
