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

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?

When to mainline I want to try main-lining with this plant, when should it best be snipped at the first noad, do I wait for a few noads or do I cut it as soon as possible because of its short life cycle?

When to flip a mainline grow?My grow is far from perfect, but ideally, when is a mainlined plant good to start flowering to get a large yeild? Just moved mine to finishing containers, pretty stalky, but not a lot of leaves due to method. Worried it would impede growth.

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?

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

secondary branches stretch during flowering I'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?
