Main lining
OutForRealanswered grow question 7y ago
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

Striping below the topping when manifolding? First time attemptingSeen 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.Techniques. Main-lining

Mainlining worth it!I used to think mainlining wasn’t worth it because of the longer veg time but, that seems to be the only downside. Theres way more advantages with this technique I’ve found, especially after my latest grow.
What do you guys think about mainlining?

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering.
probably should not defoliate for another week right?
thanks!3y ago

Main liningSo 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?

Number of colasTo other growers which top and manifold their plants, do you prefer fewer branches with big colas for example 6 or 8 main colas with everything else trimmed off, or do you prefer as many branches as possible as long as they reach the top canopy?

Trim "armpit" branches?Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.Week 12

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.

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?

I have no idea what it is.6y ago
