side branching on manifolds mains
Stoned_treesstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hi guys,
Just a quick one regarding side branches. setup my manifold with 8 mains, but theres quite a bit of side branching occuring off these mains. Should I leave them or remove them? Beneficial or harmful to yield? More colas should mean more bud I'm guessing.

Hi @Stoned_trees. I think leaving them will be beneficial for production, they are all level, I don't see why cutting the side branches, in the future you do some defoliation. they look great. good luck mate 💪🙏👍

I have mainlined, and it is up to you, as cutting side branches, focuses all its energy on the main cola/stalk.
IMO, Do you want a little fatter main colas, or do you like more popcorn to go with those slightly smaller colas?

@Stoned_trees Hi mate I hope you are well
Ive never done a manifold type grow but I would imagine leaving as many potential bud sites on the plant would be of benefit 👍

Temperature too High, Can’t bring down.This is my first indoor grow and I’m having problems keeping the temp down from the higher 80’s while I have my light on, and I’m just barely hitting 79 when it’s off. Starting to get concerned as my seeds are just beginning to sprout and i don’t want them to endure any stress.Other. General questions

Why are my plants different sizes in different tents? They are all the same age. Check diary for details.Why are my 1 gallon plants bigger than the ones in 5 gallon containers?
Same Soil
Same nutrients
Same temp and RH
Same light cycle
Same air circulation
DIFFERENT Lights. 100w vs. 240w (50% power)
DIFFERENT Tents. 2x2x4.5 vs. 3x3x6 Thanks everyone!2 years ago

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering.
probably should not defoliate for another week right?
thanks!2 years ago

Wind from high rise balconyThis baby is doing really well but since I live in a high rise I’ve just been concerned lately with the amount of wind I’m receiving lately. Here’s a good video to show. Is this ok? I imagine this strain is a Thai Sativa of sorts but it’s been pretty strong so far. Just not sureWeek 9
