Jok3rstarted grow question 3y ago

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

Bit to stressful for autos. topping can be done with some practice but mainlining is a bit more involved. If you have extra seeds though give it a shot. Good Luck

secondary branches stretch during flowering I'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?

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?

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!

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.

Main-lining 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?

Split in mainline Noticed this split at the base of Natasha's mainline. I don't think it's getting any bigger but I'm not sure. Should I cover the opening with tape to try and keep out water/bacteria? Ziptie around the stem to prevent further splitting?

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?
