That depends on how you define "better". Main lining does not produce the highest yield but it can produce a lot of nice big buds of about the same size and few or no popcorn. It also extends the veg time needed which can be a problem in northern climates where summer is shorter.

I would main line it. Especially if you have neighbors. They can get tall outdoors. Plus a good main line will provide a lot moreo bud sites and flower I end.

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?

Broke Stem branch while main-lining Now 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!
