The Main-Lining Thread

Pot size isn’t as important as having the proper amount of nodes.

If you start at the beginning of this forum post 90% of your questions will he answered before you get a quarter of the way through it.

Happy reading!

So just curious about this plant in your description, was this after the plant was topped? I have 6 nodes up

That’s not my plant Bud.

Your plant with 6 nodes is ready for the first cut. Instructions are in the thread or for a quick reference Google “mainlining by nebula haze on growweedeasy.com

Good luck!

The bigger it gets before you top it, the faster it will grow when you do. You want to build up a good root mass. Let the plant get at least as big as your container and then give her a Brazilian.

Mo, when are you sexing your plants? During veg or waiting till after you flip? If during veg, at what point do you take them to 12/12 and how long before they go back to veg from flowering?

trying to figure out what is the best use of my time, sexing up front and pushing veg out by a couple weeks, or chopping a dude with nanners on week 2 of flower?

LMK

I have never sexed the plants up front like Nuggs. I have been pretty lucky. The only one that was male was my very first try.

I am thinking about light depping the Agent Orange after I take some clones. Then I will know the gender of the plants from the flowered mothers/fathers.

 

[Deadneck43]

Well. One of my donor starter seeds was a male but it was mainlining pretty nice!

 

[budolskie]

Has any of you guys ever tried mainlining on nft?
I plan on starting to grow again in next month or so but i live on a 4th floor flat. I dont want to have the hassle of getting soil in about out every time so i wana go nft as i can bud my own

 

[Deadneck43]

How’s the defoliation look, too much or just right?

 

[FredFlintstoner0420]

looks good!

[willbs]

my mainlining is complete, now branches are starting to grow from the 8 main cola nodes, what do i do about them, keep? cut?

 

[Mohican]

Is it a Sativa (lanky) or an Indica (bushy)? Pictures?

 

[willbs]

sativa dominate hybrid

 

[Mohican]

If it is wide open and lanky, I would leave them. Only keep the big secondaries though, no larf

 

[willbs]

i'm sorry what does wide open and lanky mean?

 

[Mohican]

These were the secondaries I left on:



Cheers,
Mo

 

[willbs]

ok thanks

 

[PassTheShiZ]

In between toppings should you be removing leaves from the new nodes as they grow to promote growths in the tops?
And after the 3rd topping everything below that node should be removed at that time?

 

[Mohican]

First five pages of this thread describe all of this with pictures included.
I chose to leave one more node than Nugbuckets did.
If I had a clone of the Ace of Spades the Nugs was using, then I would have followed his instructions exactly.
