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

secondary branches stretch during floweringI've been growing Moby Dick using a mainlining technique. During the stretch phase, some secondary branches have grown a lot and are not close to the main stem anymore. Should I keep them? Should I cut? Will they help making big, fat colas?6y ago

As this is my first attempt at topping and mainlining I have no experiences to base my practices off of. From what I've read I should wait 2 weeks from my last topping to switch to flowering. I'm wondering if this is consistent with others experiences on GD. Thanks in advance!Week 7

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?Week 5

Nugg Buckets Mainlining QuestionNugg Buckets
• The main colas are developing lots of side branching, I feel like I should remove these, as I do not think this is what we want, am I correct with this?
Anyone with knowledge of this style of growing please let me know your thoughts.

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping dayI 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?Week 7

Days between LST for mainline/manifold trainingFor mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow?
