Did I cut too much foliage off this Main-lining ?

[Rondeady]

I was told to cut off all the foliage under my last topping like 9 days ago. First pic is before and the second is after. Did i prune too much? Will buds still grow on these lower stem parts?

Seems like u are confusing manifolding with mainlining. What u are doing here is mainlining. Its going fine and you can continue, but should prob read up on the difference between the two.

 

[Rondeady]

Oh okay i thought they were the same thank you

 

[Dumbguyneedshelp]

I've never done either but I have a hard time telling the difference between the 2. I thought an even first top split was manifolding like you have. We can both learn today lol

Creating a manifold and Mainlining are the same thing. The name mainlining is objective to some people because of the negative connotation of mainlining. www.growweedeasy.com/manifold
You didn't take too much off......all growth is to be removed below the tip.

After defoliation.

5 days later.

Nice work sir. Is fluxing more or less the same technique as mainlining and manifolding? I don’t see much difference. Not enough to get encumbered in terminology unless I’m not understanding it fully.

Looks like you did it perfect.

Okay cool that means a lot. But will the empty parts of the stem also grow buds or they will be empty all through flower?

I did something similar and this is how mine came out.

Awesome, is there a benefit of tieing down your mainline like i see everyone doing

When you tie down each site you can control and ensure each cola has its own space to recieve plenty of light
