The Main-Lining Thread

[FredFlintstoner0420]

As promised, this morning's progress...

Lower left hand corner is the Sour Diesel and the rest are the mainlined Cold Creek Kush.

I think more training is due by the end of the weekend! I'll do a little clean up of the lower growth too.

 

[Purpsmagurps]

I start at the very next node when it comes to the training of 8. As soon as the node is made top.

Looks textbook!

If they are stretchy sativas you should flip now. Stake them as they grow and train the taller ones to be the same height as the lower ones. Indicas are different. You almost need to use a red light to stretch them out more so you don't end up with a tight bush. Then flip them. It looks like you have a pretty good idea of how to read your plants.

It takes a couple of runs with the same strain to really dial in your process.

Keep posting pics!

Another strategy is to let a couple of nodes grow out before you top. It lets the plant growth develop more. Then you can clip off the first node growth and you have a longer branch to work with.

Excited to cage and tie these girls up tonight!

Picture when I'm done!



And the CCK is a indica dominant hybrid that is a tall grower with already longer times, so this is going to be a long grow.

I probably have a couple weeks left to go still in veg. Not sure I even need or will do the cage at this stage...

 

[FredFlintstoner0420]

Anchored four nodes down on three of the symmetrical plants. When the central 4 nodes get a bit longer, I'll anchor them down too.

The unsymmetrical "s" shaped plant I've anchored all eight nodes, something tells me this one is going to be my trouble child. A lot of training might be necessary here because it was way bigger than the others when I initially cut for four.

The Sour Diesel in the middle is super cropped, fimmed, and I also topped it early on. She's my Frankenstein.

I'm going to lay off the posts and pictures until I'm ready to flip. I need to kick back and let these girls grow for a bit.

Also, I decided I'll flip much earlier, likely when they grow a couple inches above the cage.

Time to go back and reread this thread while I wait out the next couple weeks...

Thanks Nugbuckets!

Good Morning mainliners! Lol. Hope everyone is finding harmony with their plants. Train on my friends!

Finally done with the hard part. 3 mainlined, 4th is the "s" shaped one. All Cold Creek Kush.

Decided I needed to keep the Sour Diesel the same height, so I took her down to 4 and tied her up.

Let's see what kinda shit show I created lol.

They will rock, I am sure.

Mainlining just adds time. It rocks on all other fronts. :0)

I just finished my 3rd mainline grow. I grow in a 80x80cm tent. My first 2 times mainlining I grew two plant with 8 nodes each. My only issue I had was that it didn't use up my whole tent. The nodes were close together which affected yield. This grow I went with 4 plant each with 4 nodes. This way I took up all of my tent and more light could hit the main buds.It increased my yield so I will grow this way again next year.


Before the chop (68 days under LED and far red)



16 wet tops ready for drying.
4 plants mainlined to 4
dr. I wish I had the picture holding it wet ... but still this is the most I've ever got out of my small tent.
Jarred and now ready for cure. I haven't weight it yet but normally each jar averages out at about 25 grams each. I use 200 watt LED's so .. I'm happy.

Looks great bro, great job!

 

[Mohican]

Beautiful!

Great Job!

Thanks everyone. I've now grown HSO trainwreck 2 times and 3 plants and it always seems to like mainlining. Amenisa liked a bit on training too but I have now grown HSO blue dream twice but it hasn't grown buds as well. sad cause I love blue dream.

I want 4 strains each grow. I am thinking of purple trainwreck next. anyone with good plants they like mainlining (that you can buy in small packs 1 - 3 F seeds)

Scored a brand new 6in air cooled reflector yesterday!

Reran wiring, ducting, moved ballast out of grow area, lowered temps to 79° & humidity increased to 43%.

These girls are growing flat and loving life. I think two more weeks and they'll be ready for the big flip!

Are you on the space station? hehe

Outstanding space!

Yes, this is my special chamber that helps me get elevated to new heights in the outer cosmos lol!

And a Happy 420 It is!
To sort of quote a line from a great movie!
I love the smell of "Exodus Cheese" in the morning!
