To perform a good Mainlining ist important toi have a good strain. That means a vigor growing one. And the stems, leaves and branches should not be sturdy. So your Gorilla Girl is excluded. Thise Gorillas tend to be very sturdy and ist nearly impossible to perform mainlining. I dont know whats with your Girlsscout crack.โฆ. If she grows vigor and her branchesare good to bend and bind... you may start soon. But i would wait another weeek. They look quite small. A nice Mianlining will take you 8-10 weeks Vegetation. Do you have another tent=? for the Mainlining Girls=?
So i hope i coulรถd enlighten your thoughts

Mrs_Larimar is 100% correct on this one. Your structure doesn't really look like mainlining will be your best bet. I would opt to lst those instead. Good luck!

Hi @Raptor65 It is better to wait. When the plant has a minimum size of about 5 or 6 knots and performs a first pruning at the height of the third knot from below. It is the first step towards obtaining an โaxisโ of a single node, as soon as it starts from this moment, energy is transmitted equally by each of the first two foci that we receive. good luck mate ๐

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?

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?

Is this normal growth for a mail-lined plant?I mainlined 8 colas on both plants. Each one has a small stem growing at the beginning of each cola. Is that normal growth for a main-line? I thought at this stage it would be just 8 long colas.
Should I remove them or just leave them?
