Hi @Fruitgrower! Yes you can, you sould have started a few days ago but it's still time to top those nodes and split that plant! But remember that each scissor cut will require between 1 and 2 weeks for the plant to recover, and grow some new nodes below the cut. So in your situation I would not recommend more than 1 or 2 topping surgery, because if you want 16 or 32 colas it's gonna take months. I'm a big fan of this technique, check out my photoperiodic diaries for some mainlining tutorials. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

Yes and no. Yes you can mainline your plant is old enough. If you want a step by step instructions with pics go to growweedeasy.com search mainline. Great website. Why I say no to is cuz all that time you have in veg will be wasted. These method of training is better done early in veg.

Absolutely, but I wouldn't recommend it at this time! Mainlining puts a lot of stress on the plant and takes a while to get the results that you probably want. I would suggest topping once and see how she starts to fill out. You will notice the top of the plant slows down growth and the side branches will catch up, creating an even canopy. Reason for this is marijuana is a very apical dominant plant, meaning it focuses most of its' energy to the top of the plant. Topping and mainlining allows you to create an even canopy, which makes the plant put its energy into the buds equally throughout your canopy. Here is a tutorial video I found on youtube that gives a good breakdown on mainlining. good luck and happy growing! 👊 www.youtube.com/watch

Well yes you can still be able to do it, but it’s gonna take a very long time of Veg, when Nugbuckets mainlining should take 6 weeks of Veg 😉 I would suggest you to not go over a 9 weeks Veg. Vegging any longer than 9 weeks Indoor is a waste of time, energy, and money.

Sure you can do it, just be sure to use a good pruning tool. Is it worth it though? Mainlining is basically topping over and over, but it takes weeks to get the number of tops you want.

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!
