I trim them like that to create a strong bulked up arm like stem to each top that way there is no need for trellis or sticks it will be able to handle weight just aluminum tie all forked branches and use silica gold it will strengthen the fibers of the plant and the walls.
ThanksWell done!
When your trying to concentrate growth to stems yes it is… otherwise all the concentration is on the leaves and not the bulking of the stem

My stems have always grown fine with leaves. Your slow growth can be attributed to the plant continuously needing to heal, and attempting to regrow leaves so it can continue to survive and finish its lifecycle

You can achieve the same results by not going so hard on the leaf-stripping. This is 5 1/2 weeks, similar shape and size to yours, bigger even, AND i already have more tops than you.. Just tryin to help.

3 months to get to that? No thanks. I'd already be getting close to harvesting some nice big plants in that amount of time. And you still have to spend months flowering. It might look neat but seems like a complete waste of time to me. Others might feel differently and that's fine if they want to spend twice as long to end up with the same amount of weed.
The only reason I'd spend that much time growing some plants is if they were long flowering sativas that take 16-20 weeks to flower.
Your grow. Your show. But I don't think the end result will justify the amount of time spent.

That is a long veg though I see the point behind it... I vegged my mainlines for 8 weeks and now after 8 weeks of flowering, they are getting floppy. I had to tie 5 colas up yesterday afternoon and secure another 5 against impending flop.
I fed si on a weekly basis this run and I did see an improvement over my last grow that I vegged for 6 weeks and had probably 15 floppy colas..maybe another 4 weeks would eliminate the need for any support...
Time spent watching the plant grow is better than time spent doing maintenance haha

I wanna see some end results from doing this. Just so it would motivate me in trying this. My luck would spend 3-4 months to find out it’s a male

Looks cool

It looks amazing and is likely a fun project but is there a goal other than altering the plants morphology?
