I wanted to try mainling, but yep I'm sure there's a more efficient way. Very cool though, I'll post pics of her base later.

So with mainlining are you stripping off everything but the 8 main colas. Because that's what it looked like but then as its flowering I see way more than 8 buds?

I grew Aces Malawi for a few years till the mom decided she didn't want to be a puppy mill anymore and croaked....I will say its my favorite buzz there is....mine caused some serious waves of panic and fear, loved it! 14-15 weeks is generally how long it took, but way worth it...gl with the grow!

Pretty much reshaping the base to allow main colas to receive equal energy, not sure how effective it is but it was interesting. More important was preventing growth nodes under the canopy to start shooting out stretchy popcorn bud sites. I trimmed all those but kept the vegetation. After flip the colas shot out lots of side branching which was above the veg canopy so what you see in the middle is actually from the colas. I'm hoping bud canopy grows evenly, we'll see. A lot of work but it's neat.

phew 14-15 weeks is a long time. Luis at ACE thinks they got it to 10-13 weeks with current seeds, I'll know come July. Good news on the buzz, looking forward to checking that out.. :)

I've actually been thinking of that buzz all day now .. 10 weeks wouldn't be so bad, would give it real commercial attraction if thats your thang :D

looking great man, my favorite High over anything..she *should* be ok and be able to support her own weight, you may want to look into those tomato cage rings to help keep it from flopping and breaking a limb....good luck man I hope you get the pheno I had. crushing waves of panic and fear for 3-4 hours...in edibles it lasted for the entire day :D

I started her off in a tomato cage but left it out when I transplanted to 10 gal. I'll keep it in next time. Thanks I hope I got the goods too! Beautiful buds so far, just now getting sticky

Mine cured into the least exciting bag appeal I've ever seen...was accused of it being "reggie" by its look....it was OUTSTANDING smoke...soaring levels of panic..."did I lock my car..." to "I THINK SOMEBODY IS STEALING MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" it was like a light switch...whatever your fears might be...ie...Heights as an example..that frozen with fear sweat...doesn't compare! :)

Man you're crazy. I hate getting all anxious and paranoid. I can only smoke a hitter or two nowadays without getting it.

Why on earth would you want that??
