You've kind of backed yourself into a corner here, I would back down and just focus on your grow. The hardest part of growing in coco is keeping your plants healthy through stretch and flowering phase. At that point you might really need the help of some of the experienced growers here. Good luck with your grow!
Yes and I’m very grateful to get help of some of the experience growers here. Can you please tell me why it’s so hard to keep the plants healthy in flowering stage?

Obviously it’s very difficult cause you had a bad experience..??
Watch a few videos of Mr Canucks on youtube, trying to grow organic in coco. It should help you understand.

Its not, for an experienced grower, with a dialed in method. I don't get the feeling that you are, or that you have a dialed in method. Maybe you'll get lucky. Most do not with the coco/organic method. You'd likely be better off using bottled nutes.

Yeah, maybe I will get lucky with my autopots in coco perlite 50/50 growing organic. That will be the bomb! It will be magical cause only experienced growers with à dialed in méthode can do that. Not a rookie with the help of some internet.. it’s that or the plants will die and no harvest.

Good luck. I used to have that mentality. I was greatly humbled. You could probably use a lesson in humility too.

No, but you are like that “only” experience growers have the knowledge of the holy grail of growing cannabis organically.. it’s a weed, it can grow everywhere. It’s interesting on how to optimize your harvest and make the most out of your available resources.. but it’s not like starting growing tomotoes in fucking outer space in moon dust!

Right but you have zero experience. You have no idea how much you have stunted your plants for no reason. You could be well on your way into flower with much bigger plants AND have 8 fat colas by now.

You said you smoke twice a year. I don't get your obsession with that phrase unless it's only to say "hey I can do it". Like I said if that's your goal there's much better ways of going about it.

Okey, enlightening me how many weeks I’m behind then? Can you show me a mainline completed (organic) in 6 weeks??

Is seems counter intuitive to let the side shoots grow for another 2 weeks and them cut them off. You think I will stunt the growth of the mains if I will cut them off today??

If your goal is to make those main tops the only budding branches, then yes removing lower new nodes will help the main shoot.

If I were you I'd cut the one you can't see and leave the one seen to grow to be a another top

How much experience with mainlining do you have?

No. My point was that you can get big fat colas without doing a mainline. Why 6 weeks? Your already past 8.

Nor do I care about organic. To each their own, I'm simply pointing out there are better methods if you are after quicker results.
So no mainline experience check. No organic...

Just repeating a point he thinks he's making...

He is a bully

I defoilate smaller plants in the thousands for yrs, these kids are either doing it wrong if they are affecting growth. Or they are lying for effect.
I defoilate my plants in early veg/flower but it's the buffer zone for the plants so you should only do it if you know what you're doing and I don't strip every fan leaf off the plants, only remove what I have too.
This is why I don't think Neoliet should remove any leaves at this stage, he's more likely to do the plant damage and slow the growth down.

Good luck. You're gonna need it.
