Topping doesn’t make LST easier?View attachment 5139577
This is about the size plant i like to top, while still in solo cups. It makes LST significantly easier when they get up-potted.

I read mainlining reduces yield. Not sure if I'd be interested in it. Even though you still get top shelf bud why not just do the same with regular lst and topping and get a better yield with top shelfIndoor or outdoor is the same practice. You're removing a dominant node to allow the secondary nodes to equally grow. If you want the most uniformity possible and maximum potential from your plants I'd look into Mainline training, as a beginner though just topping plants is a good idea.
Most people let the plants grow 5-7 node sets then chop the head off the plant.

Any guides to mainlining I can read that are viable? Would genuinely appreciate it Gro-Bro.That is a false read.
Mainlining contributes to uniform colas with less variation in growth and all main tops.. You're basing the entire plant off 2 main branches and if done properly you will notice a higher yield. The plant on the far right yielded 21.5 ounces. Mandarin Sunset. I wasn't pulling those numbers topping plants.

Here is an example of some plants I just moved to flower that have been mainline trained. No stakes, ties or anything were used.. Just low stress training (bending branches away from one another without breaking) and the standard Mainline procedure.

I think you’re confused on the definition of mainlining.Here is an example of some plants I just moved to flower that have been mainline trained. No stakes, ties or anything were used..
