Mainlining is progressing nicely.
The main stem was topped at the 3rd node, and each main branch was topped again at the 3rd node to build a clean and symmetrical manifold.
I always wait until the branches have 5 nodes before topping, to make sure the plant is strong enough to handle the stress.
This week I performed a selective defoliation and some light LST, only to guide the branches and keep everything level.
I’m still deciding between 8 or 12 main colas, depending on how the plant continues to respond.
In the video you can clearly see the before and after of defoliation and training 🌱💪
