Oh yeah and that I grow in coco and feed straight away with EC 0.8 of my base nute.

Never a plain water day.


Here's some more pics from me hacking last night.

Mainline training begins tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will TOP for 4. Then give them a few days recovery and then the bondage session begins.

I took 4 clones just off my critical+.

Thrown away 4 from the OG and 4 from the pineapple skunk.


Wish I had more room again lol.


I think you could have gotten your plants under the HID a bit sooner which would have reduced some of the stretching you've seen. Also a bigger pot earlier would have helped too.

i will be starting in a bigger pot next time and will be under the mh quicker haha il take a note of how long its taken me to get this far then start my next lot before these are due down save a little time....
but i think i am gona buy a 250w ballast i already have a shade and flower clones in here with hardly any veg for a constant supply

set a nice cloning station up aswell near tent since temps are bang on then loads time to play with the main lining

Get a veg tent with the cloning bit built into it. There the bollox, remember the Jacky h is a sat Dom so won't necessarily make a Bush easy.

I recommend rings But it can be done without.

Do you have a fan blowing on your girls, this will achieve stems like j

Looking good j but I fear your rushing it a tad, I would let the next nodes grow then chop back down to the set we see now for 4,
Remember there constantly under stress right now and there root zone isn't the biggest, it's very easy to stunt them, and you don't have much foliage at all.

I only recommend waiting as this is all of you guys first mainline and as nugs said it's not for every strain....

Thanks for the warning.

But I'm fine. I'll do it my way for now otherwise I won't learn anything.

I've hacked at plants like this before and still do when needed.

Nugs


Mine



Striking similarities between mine and nugs.
He hasn't got much foliage either.

Also I'm not on a deadline like budolskie.

I've got enough bud to last me til this time next year lol.

Watching and learning from you guys.

I hope to be trying this method of growing soon so, this is helpful.

What is the advantage of mainlining over other methods?

Higher yields (if done properly) Less popcorn, more uniform buds/growth.... And it eases our growcd (ocd for growing :-) )
