Did I cut too much foliage off this Main-lining ?

I was told to cut off all the foliage under my last topping like 9 days ago. First pic is before and the second is after. Did i prune too much? Will buds still grow on these lower stem parts?

Seems like u are confusing manifolding with mainlining. What u are doing here is mainlining. Its going fine and you can continue, but should prob read up on the difference between the two.

Oh okay i thought they were the same thank you

I've never done either but I have a hard time telling the difference between the 2. I thought an even first top split was manifolding like you have. We can both learn today lol

Creating a manifold and Mainlining are the same thing. The name mainlining is objective to some people because of the negative connotation of mainlining. www.growweedeasy.com/manifold
You didn't take too much off......all growth is to be removed below the tip.

After defoliation.

5 days later.

Dang those are nice

Nice work sir. Is fluxing more or less the same technique as mainlining and manifolding? I don’t see much difference. Not enough to get encumbered in terminology unless I’m not understanding it fully.

Looks like you did it perfect.

Okay cool that means a lot. But will the empty parts of the stem also grow buds or they will be empty all through flower?

I did something similar and this is how mine came out.

When you tie down each site you can control and ensure each cola has its own space to recieve plenty of light
