I never harrassed or belittled him even in the slightest, and don't care what he does, its his grow. I was the person actively talking to him, so it sure seemed like you were addressing me, not just asserting your ideas. Really it doesn't matter.
I'd just prefer not to get lumped in with people harassing or trolling anyone because its never been my intention. I only chose to comment to help the guy. He can choose to do whatever he wants with the info.

If you wanted the middle full of side branches, why did you even start mainlining? You could have just used LST to open it up and you'd have branches in the middle and would already be in like week 5 of flower. The whole point of mainlining is equal distribution of the plants energy into those 8 mains eliminating the under developed side branches and larfy undergrowth shit. Lol you have no concept of what you're doing and why...comical
Those 8 equal mains will have 8 equal side branches growing in the middle. I know it’s hard for you to understand. I have seen your mainlines..

Dude read my first post to you again. I said it all in that post. I think your mainline is headed in a great direction. I choose to comment because you stated you had decided not to prune the lower side branches and you used "LTS" to pull down the mainline. I shared with you that it was actually LST and that I would suggest trimming the lower side branches because they have the potential to detract from your mainline cola goal.
You told me you knew better and that your plant would do what you said.
I said cool you do you, but shared my experience so you knew I had some. Then wished you a good day.
I've been having a great afternoon enjoying an iced coffee and some dabs, while I do some house choirs. Proabbly about time for lunch tough cus I'm getting the munchies.

I'm not lumping you in... I can comment on how the posters been treated.

Glad to hear it thanks.
You are right ! What do you think, do I need to cut out 1 of 2 side branches on each main cola in week 3 after the stretch ? And grow them in the lower part and middle of the mainline ?
I want to maximize (fill out the tent) the light exposure on my plant leaves.
Or do you agree with @Dank Bongula?

If I was growing those plants to be a "mainline" I would remove the lowest set of side branches to encourage upward growth into the main colas since that's the main goal. I would remove them now before the plant wastes time and energy growing side branches. I wouldn't remove any more leaves then I needed to, and I wouldn't worry about the hole in the middle because that's just how mainline are. I know you want to maximize the use of your tent, but a two plant mainline might not do that this round. So I wouldn't worry about it, and I would focus on doing my best to finish the project at hand. Then plan differently for your next grow to maximize your space and time usage to fit your situation.You are right !

Thank you ! I have cut them
Off..: Is it called defoliation ??

No taking off the leaves is defoliation, taking off the lower stems when mainlining and already having your 8 cola branches is just mainlining, it’s how it works.

The term I would use is pruning, which is a classical method for controlling plant growth and behavior.
Defoliation is primarily about the removal of leaves.
@Samwell Seed Well @Dank Bongula @Thundercat how much do you think they will still stretch and grow??

They are looking great now. Keep them healthy and you'll have a great harvest. Nice setup too.

They are just now starting to flower so I’d expect another couple weeks of rapid growth and a few more inches of height. How much is impossible to say for sure, to many variables.

From the 10 days growth, it's looking like this variety won't stretch a super amount.. but I'm sure you will get at least half way to the light as it is now.
I'll be happy to see it do more of course
My prediction 1.5 times the height of the pots it's what the plant will be in the end..Maybe 18-24 inches tall or so above the pot surface

Nice looking plants. Nice open Center, even height and spacing.
I have a question though. Is there a reason you didn’t put a 4th plant in there?

Thank you! Humidity control mainly. If I run three in 5gal pots it goes through the roof....keeping three in 3gal, the humidity stays more consistent and benefits my grow. Also I still have weed curing in jars from 6-7 months ago so quantity is not a concern nor is the work required for one more plant to deal with and trim. Harvest is getting close.

I figured there was a good reason as to why. Nice to see someone be realistic about how much they need and to grow to those needs
