When should I do subsequent tops to form mainline?
AZMamaBearstarted grow question 3 years ago
After 1st topping on mainline formation, how long should I wait to do next topping? Doing outdoor hot AZ grow. Been topping 3rd node as 4th begins forming. Am I too conservative? With 2 weeks between topping, concerned about running out of time.

Hey mate!
The plant is looking nice!
If you are running out of time and want the plant to grow bigger i wouldn't top it anymore at all as that slows down growth for a few days.
At max i would top one more time but you will get a very bushy plant and will probably have to take off smaller lower branches that don't develop very well as they don't reach direct sunlight.
Hope that was helpful..
Good luck 🍀 with your grow!

Outdoor CanopyI know the importance of keeping a uniform canopy height when mainlining indoors but does it matter outdoors? Is the sunlight strong and mobile enough to distribute the light evenly or should I do my best to keep the canopy level?

Overenthusiastic SupercropThink I overdid it with the supercropping. The worst branches hang below 90° but the growth seems healthy, everything turned up towards the sun the next day. I changed the worst so they're supported and less than 90°. Is there more I can do? A way to avoid splitting the skin ?

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?

It is the 7th week.
They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping?
Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attemptingSeen 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.Techniques. Main-lining
