1st time main-lining journal......

Ok so I've harvested some plants.

Tonight I took down the 2 critical+ clones and the mainline critical+.

After removing the 3 critical+ plants I was able to manipulate both Pineapples and the OG's to check them before harvesting as they haven't really moved much during the grow. OG KUSH is very nearly ready but needs a little longer, I already stated that the pineapple would need longer so I knew they'd be staying put.

The best of it is I've removed 3 plants. 2 2ft tall clones and a 2.5ft tall mainline and the room still looks fucking full lol check this picture out. Lol.

image.jpg this picture is actually minus all the critical's lol.

Anyway on to critical+ harvest pictures.

This entire amount first is just the 2 clones hanging along with main cola shots from each clone.

Here's how my critical mainline looked once stripped.

Here's the tray from the 1 critical mainline plant. I tried to keep her in her 8 branches but had to chop a couple up a little more.

Here it all is hanging in some shots.

I'll be weighing in in about 7-10 days time. Critical+ mainline looks to be my biggest ever single plant haul but I'm conservatively saying 5oz on her. With 25g on each clone.

So from the 3 critical plants I'm estimating it will be close to 200g. Maybe around 190. Still with 4 plants to harvest.




Let me know what ya'll think.

How the hell did you have room for another 7oz worth in there bro? I suck at guessing yields from pictures but that looks like a really nice pull!

Thanks lol.

I'm the master of packing. Lol.

I had pineapple mainline in the back left, critical mainline back right, OG mainline front right and the 4 clones front left lol.


All in all I'd say my footprint was around 4ft x 3.2ft at its biggest.

Sit back and imagine a small crowd of powerful looking men giving you a standing ovation.....

Very, very impressive haul.

Would it have been possible to put back the Criticals, after removing them...?

I cannot WAIT till the day I get to harvest my babies.
At least another 5/6 weeks but I am approaching the half way mark....

Hey NoE.

Not sure i follow what you mean about putting the critical's back in after i removed them?

Do you mean once I took them out could I have actually put them back in their original place before I even harvested to see if they fit back in?

Simple answer YES I could have.

That's exactly what I meant.

Once you removed them, and the others could spread a little, would it have been possible to actually reposition them within the area...?
Because, even with the Criticals removed, it still looked full.

Obviously not TOO full though, the appearance of the plants didn't exhibit any signs of bad health.

The 3 large plants were contained within plant support rings.

The critical and pineapple each had a 45cm diameter plant support ring which held all the stems in place.

The OG had a 30cm diameter ring.

The clones were single stem grown straight up with no support.

As promised here's that pic of my ring support.

Its a little bit too tall but nothing a hacksaw won't sort out.

After reading every post for the first 8 pages I've found this connection to plant rings....but then it drifts onto other stuff and I have not found the company.
You've mentioned the price and BUD told you he got 3 smaller ones for £1 at POUNDLAND but then the drift kicks in....

PS
Is this yet another of your pedagogical motivation techniques to get me reading more...?

I found the links that you and budolskie posted - Man ! they are EXPENSIVE for what they are....!
A few feet of bent wire.
I think I can probably knock out my own Plant Supports without paying that kind of money.

CLONES CAN BE USED FOR MAINLINING, according to NUGBUCKETS, "IF THE CLONES ARE TAKEN EARLY....."
I forget the actual wording BUT he also included photo's of his technique for mainlining clones on page 2 of his (fantastic) Mainlining Thread.

It can be done with mature clones as well, you just LST them so you tie the growth tip below another node to force the branch instead of topping.

The central hub idea goes out the window with clones though even if you bend both stems at right angels at one point in the stem....

I'm playing with it now and it's looking like it's always going to be a little lopsided but it is working fairly well so far.
