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? It’s grown from seed.

Main Lining in view?
Hi everyone, I’m introducing you my little DoubleBanana Kush, she’s juste at C+21, she didn’t start with the best conditions. My main question is, should I start main lining her, or I have to wait until the 5/6nodes? Thank you guys 🙏🏽 Keep growing 😎

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

Mainlining or Topping? Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and I’m unsure if it’s too early, too late, or just the right time for mainlining. I have no experience with this technique yet. Should I just top them instead? Any advice is appreciated! 🙏

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attempting
Seen a million different videos and techniques, just curious what method is best when manifolding/mainlining. Some people strip everything below the 3rd node when they initially top, some leave the bottom growth. Stripping means the plant will focus on new growth up top im aware.

Pruning????
Hello everyone. I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto It is the 7th week. They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping? Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?

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.

First time trying main-lining. I have 8 colas, just started 12-12. Do I just let it go now letting side branches grow out ? Occasionally trim and tuck any leaves covering buds? Or trim side growth also?

Mainline inconsistency
I started mainlining my plant and one of the main branches stopped growing completely :s Anyone seen this before? I’ll probably have to top her a few more times to make up for it.

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?

Cutting off growth below node to be topped before topping day
I 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?

Days between LST for mainline/manifold training
For mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?

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 ? Ive experianced a few plants staying long in veg, without showing signs of stress or stunt.
