I fucking love this idea, mainlining has interested me more than any other training technique, but this is like another level and seem like it will produce a much more even canopy and keep height down without the need to scrog. Definitely need to try this later down the road,

PS: Loving your bonsai thread. I was looking into trying bonsai shortly after starting my grow and came across your thread

Thank you very much for your appreciation....i love and perfected this technique because i am restricted in height so i had to open them up somehow....and with mainline i believe you have less controle over your plant then with this tech and the ease of only topping 1 time early has the advantage of only recovering once from a major and invasive stress then the need to do 3 toppingsessions and giving her additional stress that potentialy stalls growth or slows it down....so you basicly gain 2-3weeks of training and as we well know a lot can happen in 2-3 weeks...is it not....;)

Silky! Just curious.. how much do you defoliate while still shaping them? I might be going too far.. but if i don't remove almost all the big fan leaves i can't even see to train and tie them down.. things are just insanely bushy.. BTW.. i assume this slows your growth bad also? im like 3 months into one and it's still tiny.. but very trained.

Remove the fans and just keep on the top 3 pairs of nodes on every branch to not overcrowed her and to improve lightpenetration and airflow

But she looks amazing....great job...take under consideration that if its a indica dom strain she doubles her size and sativa triple there size in flower
