autoflower, extended veg time, due to mainlining "topping,training" and stable genetics and pot size ?Could you in theory manipulate the veg time of an autoflower, by doing main-lining "lots of topping, training" with good genetics, oversized pot, 24 hour lights and good timing ?

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.Techniques. Topping

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.5y ago

Did I lollipop too much?Did I lollipop too much? Left the top node only and stripped all lower bud sites but I left the fan leaves intact. I’m planning on flipping to 12/12 in a week. By the time it’s done stretching will I have enough new nodes to form top colas, which is the goal here? Thanks growmiesTechniques. Main-lining

Is it a problem if one main cola is longer then the other?Did my first topping/mainlining.
Right cola is longer then the left one, is it a problem or will they even out?
For now Im trying to break any apical dominance by holding the longer cola below the shorter one.
Any ideas how to deal with this?5y 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?5y ago

Mainlining not so symmetrical?I started my first indoor grow off with mainlining and 2 of my branches are growing nodes in a staggered formation, whereas the other 2 are growing symmetrical nodes. Does anyone know why this is happening?
