Summer is super warm and not windy. I have a humidifier, i am foliar spraying her with aloe vera and liquid kelp but unfortunately the 3rd node leaves are already burnt. How can i make sure the leaves will still help her going through the mainlining training stress properly?

Overenthusiastic Supercrop
Think 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 ?

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?
I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

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.

Remove lower branches on this grow?
Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)
Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.

Should I switch reg to larger tent? Looking for opinions, first time mainlining
Im 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?

Auto Flower Main Lining
When growing Auto flowers, Will main-lining delay flowering or will it continue to flower at the same rate regardless? I am experimenting with trying a 4 way Main line with my 28 day auto. I hope it grows out more before it kicks into flowering. no signs of pistils.
