Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 1...
DrGHempstarted grow question 4 years ago
Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).

Let them reach the metal ring before you flip to flower, trust me I made this mistake on my last grow, gelat og. I'm sure if I'd left one more week vegging she'd be monstrous! 🌱👍😁

Agreed with highroller. Hang on if you can to give those tender tips a chance to grow out a bit.. as well flushing some of that potassium nitrate out now, can help shorten node spacing come mid flower. If you can, try to use calcium nitrate based nutes instead of potassium nitrate as your source for N in flower... Cheers

give them at least one more week to flip if you ask my opinion.at least let those little growth get bigger.by the way one of them is nitrogen toxic.watch your N levels.usually cutting off N based fertilizers helps but you can also do a flush if you want to be sure.that plant wont be able to absorb extra nitrogen anymore so my advice is to stop giving grow formulas to it.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

Did I lollipop too much?Did I lollipop too much? Left the top node only and stripped all lower bud sites but I left the fan leaves intact. I’m planning on flipping to 12/12 in a week. By the time it’s done stretching will I have enough new nodes to form top colas, which is the goal here? Thanks growmies

Main-Lining: cleanup center of plant and wait or stop cutting and switch to 12:12?I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture...
As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches.
But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?

"Semi Main-Lining": Should I clean up the lower small grows on my 4 main branches?I am trying a (wrong) "semi"-mainlining...
TL;DR (my Diary)
1. Trained plant into a spiral
2. Got high, topped it
3. Cleaned 2 grows/nodes per branch
4. Bent main stem to grow horizontal = 2 lower & 2 upper branches
Should I clean 1-2 more nodes before flipping to 12/12

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 ?
