Did you keep the cuts to clone or pitch them? Trim day doesn't have to bring anything but a tear of joy to your eye when you see all the clones/sisters/daughters/whatever you like to call them take shape as you trim the mother plant.
I'm new to all of this, so can someone explain the reasoning here? Cut the plants back to make them grow more stems or produce more in the stems that are left on?
I already know about the practice to pinch of the main stem to make them grow more which if I understood correctly gives more to harvest. Is this similar?
What I’m doing is referred to as a mainline grow, it’s a type of plant training designed to get you a uniform set of 8 colas (the main flower stalk) instead of a single cola. It can increase the final yield and it looks pretty cool: https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets
yeah I hear that, it’s gonna be a long time to get the manifold established. I’m doing this one mostly for fun and curiosity, if I actually get a good yield out of it then that’s just a bonus :)

If growing autos, disregard.
I pitched them, I considered taking clones but I’m about at my limit for plants I have time to take care of.
Definitely understand that.

Man I totally understand the concept and appreciate the symmetry of the plant, but stang does it take time.

I always manifold my inside plants, but just let my outdoor plants ride. I'm pumped to see your harvest numbers for sure.
My greenhouse girlies did pretty well last year with zero training.
Got this monster cola out of one: https://lemmy.world/post/6442642
And this one topped herself twice, it was the dangedest thing: https://lemmy.world/post/6772062
Wow! Excellent work
Now the real torture begins…
