Here we are at week number 5!
Three days ago i set up the mainline and removed everything from the plants except the third nodes and a pair of fanleafs.
I decided to use mainlining because i think its a fun technique to use. And at the same time its very low maintainance. I did nothing the first three weeks, then i just cut most of it off and now i need to train them good until the flower. And thanks to the hopefully solid base they should be low maintainance during flower again. So we only got to work during veg and the rest of the grow should be way more relaxed.
The plants reacted very differently to the mainlining. The GMO x Zombie Kush don't seem to care. They are just pushing growth. The KmintZ recover more slowly. They still make progress, but take more time.
But the important thing is: Everyone is recovering so far and they seem to be healthy. Thats all i want.
For this week i'll just let them chill and adjust LST when necessary. I plan to top the branches again at least once when the are on their fifth node.
@cheech87, Thank you so much buddy!π±ππ Ripper Seeds for sure is worth a try (the photoperiods, the autos not so much)! Well and except their "Sour Ripper"... I'm beyond unlucky with these beans, but one day i'll successfully grow them ππ
@Qutro, Thank you buddy! But as i wrote to @Natrona, i am a absolute beginner when it comes to mainlining. Until now the survival rate is 50/50. I hope i'll come out of this run with a positive percentage ππ±ππ
Hey man! i loved the KmintZ strain. its delicate and it allways looks like there is very little to harvest but you will be surprised by the number on the scale later.....;)
and the terps! absolutely stunning terps and taste.
good luck with this one! Ill stay tuned for the next weeks :=)
@YourLocalGrowmie, Thank you so much for sharing your experience buddy! I heard so many good things about it and i'm so hyped to have a taste of the KmintZ! I can't wait! Much love π±ππ
@Sour_D, No way buddy! You know your plants! I cut them today and they seem to take it pretty good as far as i can tell. I'm think its not "superior" to topping/lst but a fun techniqueππ±ππ
@Hologram, Hahaha big bowla are the best sleeping medicine! I also got a mighty+ and a tiny might 2. Love them both dearly! But i need to look into upgrades like the waterbubbler. Or an adapter to use the vape with the bong. π
yeah party hardy π€ π @Herbie101, i mostly use the mighty plus (with waterbubbler) and a big vaporizer (i have a small clip of that in diary dosido and runtz)that big one has a big bowl so u can imagine if i fill it!! π€π€π€ ( and i doπ..at nightπ) and you?
@Hologram, Hahaha thank you so much! I'll join the celebrations π What vape are you using? I just made the switch from combustion a few weeks ago and am still figuring things outπ π±ππ
@Schnabeldino, Thank you for your trust buddy! you got more of it than i do π Nah i hope it'll be fine!
From my perspective Ripper is really worth a try. Only their "Sour Ripper" is testing my patience π π
Looks just good so far, they look healthy. Everything holds better with duct tape. πͺ
I train my plants exactly so that I will have 8 main lines later. The symmetrical aspect is always very important to me... this time I only broke off one branch with 8 plants hehe.
Your plants will look gorgeous when you're back π
@Schnabeldino, Thank you buddy! Yeah i'm still learning a lot, but i think 8 colas should be a sweet spot. π I broke a lot this run, but hey at least i'm learningππ±ππ
@Hologram, Thaaank you Holo! I just changed my mainline plans yesterday. I'm gonna do a very classic version this time because i thought i had a good idea. (My spontanious cannabis infused ideas are not always the best, but we'll see how it plays out! π Much love! π±ππ
@Hologram, My thanks holo! Yeah the grow pretty fat leaves already, but as long as they don't grow sideways too much i guess i'm fineππ π±πππ
Plant are looking great buddy! Nice that you're going to mainline them, will be watching closely as I'm thinking about doing this in my next run. Good luck and happy growing βοΈβοΈπ
@Zengrower, Be my guest and thank you so much buddy! Yeah i'm in no hurry this run because the stash is filled nicely, so i can easily "afford" a longer run. And i think the technique is really fun to do! Happy growing buddy π±ππ
