Is it safe? Or, since the lifetime of the plant is so short, better to not even think about it.

As a beginner i would just leavr that stuff alone and first gain qome experience with normal shaped plants , you wil have a lot higher yield in the end , and not and up with tiny excuses of plants that yield 15 grams like a lot of new peeps do

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).Week 6

Auto Flower Main LiningWhen 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.Techniques. Main-lining

Trim "armpit" branches?Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.Week 12

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.6y ago

"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 12/12Week 6

Is it a problem if one main cola is longer then the other?Did my first topping/mainlining.
Right cola is longer then the left one, is it a problem or will they even out?
For now Im trying to break any apical dominance by holding the longer cola below the shorter one.
Any ideas how to deal with this?5y ago

So my Fastbuds autos: can I continue mainlining in early flowering? Can't do it later, but they are a bit smallWeek 5

Perfect Mainline End look for maximum yieldFirst 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?Setup. Outdoor
