ButtersStotchstarted grow question 4 years ago
As this is my first attempt at topping and mainlining I have no experiences to base my practices off of. From what I've read I should wait 2 weeks from my last topping to switch to flowering. I'm wondering if this is consistent with others experiences on GD. Thanks in advance!

Full disclosure, I have not mainlined yet, but I do a lot of topping and LST. @ weeks is a good amount of time for recover, but as these will be your main, mains I would suggest leaving them longer, maybe 3-4 weeks after topping instead of 2 weeks. This will give ample time for her to recover, firm up and grow out nicely. If or when you have the room I always suggest using it the best you can. An extra 2 weeks of Veg and LST can make a huuuge difference and could even, potentially, double your yield (no joke).
They're very healthy and moving great. Your mainlining and LST are on PAR. Continue like this for another 3-4 weeks before flip and I'm positive you'll be very happy with the results come end game.
Cheers my friend and good luck.😉👍
Disclaimer: At the end of the day, it is your project and it is your call! This is only a suggestion. If you feel it's time, 2 week after topping should be adequate recovery time before the flip. Never usually hurts to let Veg for a bit longer though👍

From my experience (check my gelat.Og grow) you need to tie your tops out more horizontal. When you're happy with your tops whether it's 4 or 8 or 16 you're going for, let it grow to half the desired height before flipping. I flipped too early and wish I'd have her more vegging time! 🌱👍

Hi butterStotch
Looks you done a great job so far buddy. She looks lovely. And Healthy.
As far as my experience tells me people are saying two weeks minimum after topping to switch to Flowering.
Because your plant needs time to recover from the topping and training methods you have used.
Depending on plant health and how extensive the training was she could recover even between 3/4 days some times.
But people are making sure by leading her fully healthy and stress free in to Flower.
So that she can take her stretching all the way. As She's supposed to do.
It won't be a problem if you leave her in veg a few weeks after topping and mainlining she will grow a little more that's all.
Hope this helps.
And good luck growing.

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?

Pruning????Hello everyone.
I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto
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?

When should I do subsequent tops to form mainline?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.

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 ?

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?

Should I switch reg to larger tent? Looking for opinions, first time mainliningIm currently mainlining a reg seed, confirmed fem, in my 27x27 tent, plan was to move it to the 3x3 once the last plant was harvested. Received my order of autos and am thinking of doing autos in the 3x3 instead. Just wondering if the 27”x27”x56” will be good for the reg?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

Yellowing leaves after first Mainline top. Light stress?Just checking in here, I am pretty sure this is light stress. it was at 18" (specs say 18-24" during veg) and she was likely pretty stressed after having her top cut off!!!
I have raised light to 23". Am I on the right track here?
