Trim "armpit" branches?
BlueBerry7720started grow question 4 years ago
Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.

Main lining means that you have all the buds at the same height to create an even cannopy so no side branches are allowed with that method. If you were applying a simple LsT I would have say something else.

Yes. Also, wipe away any nodes up until the top 4! I would highly recommend watching Kyle kushmans super cropping video!

Yes you definitely should. Growing mainline you want all the energy focused on your main colas and no side branches

Should i stop main lining 3?So i'm a newbie and i snapped the stem on main lining.
I tapped but left it bent.
My reasoning is that i don't think i will be able to bend it if it grows more.
4 is bendy and i went even maybe too much on it.
3 is too thick already.
Should i give up mainlining 3?

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST.
Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)4 years ago

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?4 years ago

secondary branches stretch during floweringI've been growing Moby Dick using a mainlining technique. During the stretch phase, some secondary branches have grown a lot and are not close to the main stem anymore. Should I keep them? Should I cut? Will they help making big, fat colas?

Nugg Buckets Mainlining QuestionNugg Buckets
• The main colas are developing lots of side branching, I feel like I should remove these, as I do not think this is what we want, am I correct with this?
Anyone with knowledge of this style of growing please let me know your thoughts.
