Very individual indeed. Tis why id like to hear more about peeps personal approach to it.
Is that true? If so Ima not gonna be too happy. I want to max quality as well as yield. But then again I have 4 plants in a 3x3 tent so.... (all different strains) Not sure how all this is going to play out.
I top them, usually at least the main stem, sometimes branches. I remove lower growth. I haven't mainlined and probably won't. I don't like the idea of defoliation. I just remove leaves and branches that I think need to be pruned. Other growers are far more aggressive than I am, and I know they have good results.
I doubt it's true. There are many other factors that matter, and probably matter more.
I assumed it was nutrients that boosted the potency. Some claim to boost yield too. So fingers crossed. Going to put in final pots this weekend and start topping next weekend. 2 are really close to their 1st topping. After that I am clueless on what to do. I see all these little gadgets that bend the stems to widen the plant. Do I just top the one time on the main trunk or do I also top those that branch from the 1st topping when they hit 5 nodes?
You can legit bonsai a plant? Like trim the roots and keep it tiny? I watch a youtuber that can bonsai all sorts of cool shit so why not cannabis?
There is just something about it! : )
cant steal an open ended thread, right? We have the same questions i imagine. With the variety of methods and limited number of plants and desire to try as many methods as i can, lol i am hoping to learn why growers do what they do.I hope I am not hijacking this thread... I am hoping that more will weigh in on this topic as I really need to learn this.
How do you top or train? Fill us in please.
Thanks. I just want to be respectful
There is a video here in one of my posts.... someone posted it and it looks fun as hell. Was going to do that with the OG but may not now that it is no 4 and not no 5.

Found it.... Page 1 a little down the page.
So overwhelmed, I need a mentor! :)
All I can say is WOW! No wonder I could never get a good grow in the past. There is so much more than planting a seed and watching it grow. 🤣 I am getting ready for my first grow and going a better route. I made a small investment in the tools. Purchased some seeds. On my next day off I...

I’ll holler at this. I have mainlined a bunch. It is great if you want the time and patience to do it. You can do fast mainline but if you want full potential, you need to have patience and expect a large plant.
The few plants I topped this year were the first ever! Not sure how I feel about it : ) the outdoor grows I did were a “high/low stress bending”. I like to bend and train ( what I’ve done and know lol). For the outdoors I have done they were folded over and never let able to grow tall for the first month or so, once they got the height I placed a four foot tall fencing laid flat over the trench about 3 feet high, from there thats how I spread all the branches through that to “widen the plant” then it was just make sure things were supported where they need to be. I used tall T-posts so I would add a second piece a fencing above the first one a couple of feet : ) its amazing the difference in outdoor from indoor!
How long is too long to keep in veg stage? I have read that you can delay flowing and keep veg as long as needed. I have 4 in different stages. 1st two are 2 weeks older than one, and the last seed was a week after that (long story). Was wanted to keep them vegging until the younger ones caught up a bit.
Hey that is solid info you dont get with the tutorials. I wanted to try a mainlined plant or 2 myself. Im having second thoughts on trying different methods on the same grow now. Could maybe require too different veg times?
