I'm new to all of this, so can someone explain the reasoning here? Cut the plants back to make them grow more stems or produce more in the stems that are left on?
I already know about the practice to pinch of the main stem to make them grow more which if I understood correctly gives more to harvest. Is this similar?
What I’m doing is referred to as a mainline grow, it’s a type of plant training designed to get you a uniform set of 8 colas (the main flower stalk) instead of a single cola. It can increase the final yield and it looks pretty cool: https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets
