Will she grow enough in order to start mainlining technique ?
Hi guys ! My plant is healthy, looks all good so far but I feel like she's a bit too small compare to a normal outdoor automatic hulk berry do you think i'll be able to do mainlining or should I just give up the idea ?

Main-lining
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?

Do I Let these branches grow?
I am mainlining this plant, but I’m not sure if I let the branches grow off at the every node or snip them off so the focus goes to the main cola?

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?

Split in mainline
Noticed this split at the base of Natasha's mainline. I don't think it's getting any bigger but I'm not sure. Should I cover the opening with tape to try and keep out water/bacteria? Ziptie around the stem to prevent further splitting?

Mainline with Nebulas method for 10 tops
Has anyone kept the second top node so you end up with 10 tops? ( Cutting off the bottom on the second node) How did it work out? Are there any drawbacks except space? Would it be an uneven split of nutrients decreasing the yield on the 8 main tops?

Question about mainlining
Im getting ready for the outdoor season..planing to mainline a stativa strain+indica strain. My question is: when you have already done your last topping and you're now letting your plant grow out, do you cut off the side branches growing out from the mains or do you leave them?

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.

Main-Lining: cleanup center of plant and wait or stop cutting and switch to 12:12?
I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture... As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches. But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?
