Outdoor Canopy
Misanthropestarted grow question 2 years ago
I 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?

Not as important outdoors unless you are trying to keep it low and out of sight.
Since the sun moves and sunlight penetrates much better, it is not necessary to have an even canopy outdoors.
You can do it if you want to, the plant won't mind, but it isn't essential....
Killer looking plant though, well done!

I mean...
Most things grow straight😅 Considering they are orienting themselfes to the sun anyway during the day...
Apart from that an even canopy will give more evenly distributed buds instead of you know one stem grabbing the mainload.
Maybe some branch starts to go off but that could be from the plant itself not bcs it got more sunlight.
Bit LST cant hurt if you wanna have it even so basically its up to you how you wanna have it.

You want to still try and keep it uniform. Even know the sun penetrates through the plant. You will get more stretch outdoors because of the temp swings compared to your indoor grow. Cheers!

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.

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?

Is this normal growth for a mail-lined plant?I mainlined 8 colas on both plants. Each one has a small stem growing at the beginning of each cola. Is that normal growth for a main-line? I thought at this stage it would be just 8 long colas.
Should I remove them or just leave them?

Number of colasTo other growers which top and manifold their plants, do you prefer fewer branches with big colas for example 6 or 8 main colas with everything else trimmed off, or do you prefer as many branches as possible as long as they reach the top canopy?
