YES! I just accidentally did this to one of mine. The leaves were in the way of my clip so I just put the clip to one side of the leaf. Now several days later, I was looking over my vegging group and noticed that plant had a bit more development than the others I’m manifolding. I did it symmetrically so that they’re still in line with each other, not sure if that matters. Also I’m dedicatedly twisting every branch when I LST so that every node is on the side of the branch, but that’s maybe a different story.
I’m running a bunch of different manifolding styles right now with Durban Poison, Strawberry Cough and Purple Kush (2 sets of branches at nodes 2 and 3; one set of branches at node 2; 2 sets at 2 and 3 that I FIM’d; ..... I did it in so many different ways, mostly bc I’m new to manifolding and I’m eager to develop The Right Way (for me), ...and a little bc I have ADD and I hate doing this the same way lmao.
They’re going to get transplanted to their final pots in the next few days and then in a week and a half or so ima set them into flower. I’m interested to see what this little trick adds to the plant’s development as it grows. Now that I see someone else has made this into a Thing, I’ll be more observant about it.
Unfortunately I haven’t taken these pics of my plants since I started the training
lol ADD :/ plus it turns out 9 plants + 1 bonus plant of 3 different strains (one seed had twins!) is a hell of a lot more work than 3-6.
