I'm attempting a main-lining grow with my 185w cfl set up, nothing special on average got about ounce on previous plants grown in it. So will this technique make any difference! Can't wait to find out enjoyed it so far... Pics are 4 days into flowering after 7 weeks of veg. Feel free to add your cfl experiences!! DSC_0267.jpgDSC_0275.jpgDSC_0276.jpg

Cheers man! Yeah I would top once and superscrop trying to fill the whole growing space but never had a fully even canopy. So hopefully the level canopy and all growing off this manifold system il really be able to compare!

7 weeks veg was it from bean or clone? dirt or coco? every time I look at your pix im like nyce. on one of my projects in my thread I have a cardboard box setup with cfls, lil mama is so short that im still waiting for a stretch before I can even think about mainlining

Yea. The mainlining technique should get you a pretty even canpoy in terms of height, but it also has the added benefit of all fo the colas being MAIN ones given equal 'priority' by the plant unlike traditional lst/topping where the uppermost tops get the biggest flowers. These are all the uppermost tops when you mainline lol I have a tiny 16 top Green Love Potion vegging til each top is is enough for flowering.

Looks good, but I will have to say that a good amount of vermiculite goes a long way as far as aeration. just something to maybe try.

Does vermiculite make the soil more absorbent or make it drain better? It seems like it would hold water but stay soft enough for roots to grow through. I have a bag laying around I might mix in. So far I mix perlite into every soil blend even if it has some already in it.

4x4 tent stuffed with 4-6 main lined girls topped for 16 HAH! thats dreaming big. well if you're asking about the one thats only 3 weeks old, id say the stretch is just starting. the first two weeks she was moving along slowly 3rd week I topped above the 4th node and all of the shoots below it blew up. shes in a gallon sand pail loving it roots already growing out of it. her stem is thickening up as well. theres 7 cfls and 3 t8 fluros in that cardboard box.

the tent has a 600w just two different projects/emperiments atm
