Don't chop those. Those are new branches.

Edit: I didn't see where it was topped earlier. I don't know how, lol. I though the circled ones were right below where you topped. I just now noticed where it was actually topped, lol.

So ya, if you're manifolding it, take those little shoots off.

I don't know how the hell I missed where it was topped. I better go smoke another.

he may want to depending on what his final goal is. I would leave those two and top the middle.

Btw chopping new branches is the point of mainlining.

That's what I'd do too.

I went the manifold way instead of mainlining and I kept those and theyre my tallest branches right now

It's the same thing. Some just prefer to use the term Manifold, since the term Mainlining is a way to take heroin. It just kinda gives weed a bad name to associate the 2. Kinda like the strain Green Crack. Don't get me wrong I love it and have been growing the clone only version for over 2 years now, but Snoop could've came up with a better name, lol.

Depends on who’s tech you use, normally top and remove all other growth tips, could keep or top the 2 at the end on each side after to get the 8. You have 4 right now if you remove the rest that I see. I fast tracked and it was fine. 6 nodes, cut to 3rd, grow those nodes 4 out, cut 4th and 2nd think I did. I took this one 16 tops I think, so many pics.

Cheers peeps for chiming in have got a clear pic in my minds eye so fingers crossed all goes to plan

How did this turn out?

My plans all went to shit mate long story
They all ended up like this

Looks fine. I would trim some of that bottom up though.

Have you flipped yet?

Doesn't look bad at all Id take some of your tie downs and spread that canopy apart, help with airflow and getting light on those bunched up leaves.

Yer man there nearly at choppy choppy

Here’s mine I was going for 8 but I’m pretty clumsy and some only have 7

I’m trying to decide when to flip. The last one is a few days behind so I’m waiting for that last strip.
