Is this "mainlining"?

Yeah, looks like you FIMed the first cut instead of a normal top. Looks good.

This technique tho time consuming veg wise has doubled my yields....once u get ur canopy rite everything equals out giving u a canopy full of basically equal/even tops...the more u split it for more tops the more veg time obviously but when everything starts to come together u can see it n its awesome.

Here is the thread 7th page 1st pic thanks in advance https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/696240-small-closet-grow-7.html
The smoke was unique to say the least....average stone...not "omg" but def did the trick...the smell I cant explain...it drove me crazy...I would stick my nose to it a hundred times n the smell was way familiar but I just cldnt place it much less put words to it...idk..like a fruity gasoline lemon pledge cleaner w may e a splash of powdered grape koolaid..???...if that makes any sense....ha....taste like lemons. ...very complex plant...Its bred into the strain im growing now....buds like rocks...ill chk ur thread

Dude like for real man, text book nug there, son. Great use of your resources and proof positive that CFLs can and do work if used correctly.

I tried throwing you some rep but apparently I've given it to you already lol

Not a true mainlining. You skipped a step. You need to get it down to only 2 off the main stem...not 4. Then you turn those 2 into 4, then into 8 and so on if you want. You are still going to get a good strong "hub" where you are training the bend, but in the end won't be as purely even,(hormone from the hub) as a true mainline.

Yes cfls only...for now..ha...im tryin to move up
I'm sure you'd kill it with a 400 or hell even 250 hps but man my opinion is if it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm learning that this whole process is more about finding the right environment and learning what works best for you, then it is anything else. If your shit is that good with CFLs I wouldn't change a damn thing except for building a hundred of your little boxes lol

Ha...ive thought abt that...im thinkin all that light in that little space is equivalent to an hid room...if not better in some ways...hid is the way to go for a more open space but for small grows I dig the cfls...I cant really say tho ive not seen what I can do w hid.
