I have two main-lined plants outdoors. I'm at 8 colas now, and probably about a month away from flower starting. I've pruned to roughly 1 node beyond the last topping, but this is where I'm stumped.
How long do I keep cutting the secondary (suckers?) branches as these main stems keep growing?
Can't flip to flower outdoors, so I'll let main stems keep growing - but if I cut off the secondary shoots as the main stems keep getting taller and making more nodes, will I reduce how big the colas get? Large finished colas seem to encompass many nodes. I'm just not sure where the colas begin, and the secondary branches end (if that makes sense).
In the my plant image below, you can see my last topping, and how the two stems have grown out. I've pruned to the first node beyond last topping, but now have secondary shoots coming out as the main stems get taller. The drawing kind of represents this.
