First week?

Well you can expect it to keep stretching up to the 3rd week. Also next time try to defoliate right before the flip and then 3 weeks after the flip. That’s what is recommended anyways, and that’s what I do. Looks like you may have stripped a lot of the plants leafs and nodes which may hurt your yield. I used to try all those mainlining and things like that but now I just don’t waste my time. I posted a pic of my Alaskan purple and I’m sure people think it was topped but in reality all I did was LST I dont top my plants anymore I feel like it’s a waste of time since I can achieve the same results from just bending the main and the plant doesn’t stop growing. That and I use alfalfa/kelp/coconut water which all help in making the plant bush out. The plant really does look good though, I wouldn’t do anything else now just let her grow. It’s my understanding that we are supposed to leave at least 3 nodes on each stem. Hope that helps and don’t give up after you try different methods you will be like all of us here. We have our way of doing things and they all work but like everything in life what works for me may not be for you so just take bits from here and there and soon you will be rocking your tents walls to the max in your own style.

Mainline is great way to increase yields when done correctly, i have been practicing with it on 1 plant my sacrifice gal. PS just cause it's switched to 12/12 does not mean she is in flower. Do you see any??

Thanks for all the replies I will just keep watching her I guess at some point she will start flowering?

Thanks for that information yeah it's my first grow and I thought I had it all packed down because of so many main lining videos and articles I watched and read, this one has been kind of a scary ride lol but next time around I will try something different , I guess by now I had expected her to start flowering but maybe I did trim too much stuff off and from my inexperience of not knowing what to expect at what stages, although what made me do that was that I read somewhere that you trim everything except the top fan leaves from however many tops you want to have Thank you!
