So I just did topping for 8 colas Should I leave the big fan leaves on for a few days or is that taking away from new growth?

Hi @Buddie I think that for now you should leave the leaves for the plant not to lose strength, keep pushing the larger leaves down with your fingers, arranging them and leaving the shoots above the leaves to receive light. good luck mate 👍

The leaves are under the stems so they are not blocking light or creating a bad air circulation so they can be left on the trees

Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).

Yield Estimation Hi growers! Estimation needed on what I can expect per plant from my super skunk. They're in Week 9 of Veg, 38cm tall, mainlined for 8 colas. I want to switch them to 12/12 next week. What can I expect as yield per plant and how is it gonna change if I wait a week longer?

Should i stop main lining 3?So i'm a newbie and i snapped the stem on main lining. I tapped but left it bent. My reasoning is that i don't think i will be able to bend it if it grows more. 4 is bendy and i went even maybe too much on it. 3 is too thick already. Should i give up mainlining 3?

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

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.
