Good trick in growing period is adding cal-mag + humic acid. Grows vigorously without any NPK value. Also good overall advice on nutrients is to start like 1/3 of the dose what bottle says. It's easier to give more than start to flush overfed plants.
Happy growing! hope this helps somehow👍
levensfiets less nutrients - to the advise of you guys on my post from last week.
some feeding with only water (even some rainwater, weve had terrrible weather last week)
this week the sun is out and its showing ! our two mainline plants are looking like they enjoy this spring weather week. 😀

levensfiets tying down the stems to make sure it stays small. stem counter is at 4 now.
Hi I use general hydroponics test kit ph up and ph down not to pricey like 18bucks and it will show you where you sit ph wise ,it is fairly accurate and will last for many grows to come ...I'm always using more ph up then the ph down and it helps tremendously gotta hit that sweet spot or else your gonna get bite problems.. cheers
levensfiets defoliated fan leaves and tied down again. the poor girl.

levensfiets the aux buts are starting to form. hopefully its time to top it for the third time, leaving us with 8 main stems.

levensfiets forgot to take some pictures this week. we've topped it for the third time : now we have 8 main stems.
later this week we've tied them down to the grid to make sure it grows symmetrically.

levensfiets this week we've topped the plant for the fourth time. this leaves (haha) us with 16 "main" stems.
i'm noticing a slower growth from this point forward. hopefully potting it over to a 15L pot next week.

levensfiets Here we go!
16 main stems, supported by a canopy ring. i feel like the recovery after topping (8 stems were topped simultaniously) is slow and its probably causing a lot of stress. Also feel like the roots need more space so going for an upgrade to 15 liters today.

levensfiets repotted this week into a 25 liter pot, she seems to like it. started growing again where last week the growth slowed down for a bit. go girl!!
levensfiets cant wait to get this girl into flower mode! this looks amazing and i'm hoping this will be my biggest yield to date. 16 main cola's and 14 weeks of vegetative growth... bring it on!
levensfiets first week of flower and i've tried to keep this girl in control a little bit. This has been mainlined to 16 main stems, which is a lot for the area it grows in. supercropped it pretty heavily but happy with the resulting even canopy!
looooovely. great smell, strong plant. i'd definetely recommend growing this to anyone wanting to try some different training techniques. she took it like a BOSS!!!

levensfiets this was a cool plant to grow. mainlining to 8 main stems definetely worked out well for us, and the form of the plant was perfect by the end. 8 main colas that stole no light from eacother and all had enough room to grow to their full potential, even in a room that is .4 by .4 meters (fridge)
Mainlining appeals to our sense of order and our need to feel in control. Once you have equal colas, then what? You cut the buds off them and jar them. So why the extra work, and potential stress (to you AND the plants)?
We love tinkering with our grows because cannabis stimulates us mentally. But we’d have just as much jarred flower if we let it go au naturel. Indoors I hang two 280w LEDs at angle to simulate 10am and 2pm. You could rotate them if you wanted symmetrical growth. I leave ‘em be because I believe plants grow best when they always face the same direction, just as in nature.
Don’t work too hard. Enjoy your harvest.
@growdoctordc,fair point.
i'm just starting out and to be fair ; i think trying out different methods is a great way to learn about the possibilities and limitations of the plant. in other words: i'm just doing it for the fuck of it!
i respect your opinion though. never thought of actually simulating the actual position of the sun.
thank you for taking the time to comment!
@levensfiets,
I like your attitude!
In a way, we’re all just starting out because this plant has been in obscurity for much of history.
Most of the light that a plant receives in nature is at an angle that penetrates the interior. But that doesn’t happen at high noon, although the fattest leaves are in full solar collection mode then. Mix it up! Add lights, move lights. I even use far red on the ‘horizon’ to simulate sunrise and sunset 15 minutes each with the big lights off. Plants seem to like it. I find it soothing
@growdoctordc, @levensfiets,iv seen them rollers for old HOS lights that’s run the light down a rack to simulate the sun moving….honestly - just like your ‘training does nothing but stimulate your mind’ comment. I think the same is true about the movement of the sun and the use of 660nm light to simulate sunrise and sunset. Do you get more bud? Doubt it…therefore your doing it to stimulate your own mind. Just saying….we all do it! Lol
hi i personally dont use ph meters on my soilgrows, iam using awell balnced selfmade soilmix , and i dont have problems with ph. Soil buffers very well fluctuations. greetings, you may look into my diaries and see how healthy those girls look like ( without a ph meter)
@Mrs_Larimar, you're not the only one who is too lazy to measure pH. I even do not own such a device. You are right that it's basically unneeded when growing in soil.
Hey gonna follow along I main lined my Gorilla glue and she is a monster right now gonna update pictures today man is she spreading I love that growing technique..
@levensfiets,ya she on my account I got three diaries going the biggest plant I got I spread her out and let it grow up then spread it out again she doing good ...
Hi @levensfiets! What's your soil, which brand, what nutrients is it supposed to contain? Usually with a good soil you don't need anything for the first weeks but root stimulator. Now that you started the mainlining project, you should be very careful with nutrients and pay attention to the leaves shape and coloration. Because you only have a few leaves left, you absolutely need them healthy. I think your plant should be good with 1 meal per week, other waterings should only contain plain pH'd water, but once again it depends on your soil's quality. Using BioBizz Lightmix I feed once a week. In coco however, feeding happens everyday. Remember it's easier to fix a slight deficiency than to recover from a slight toxicity, so just see how your plant reacts and adapt your feeding schedule wisely. Finally, a medium flooded with Nitrogen is more prone to attract pests. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊
@Stick, just regular pot-earth bought from the supermarket.
the leaves look great at the moment, although i've seen leaves be slightly darker green.
im sticking to your "1 meal a week" schedule with about 1,5 liters of water per plant mixed with .3 ml of plagron green
thanks so much for your extensive explanation!
@KurbinTurbin, be patient mate! i felt like it really benefitted from being outside as well, i felt like the natural climate factors were relieving stress.
Also keep feeding (not to much not too little) but get that on point!
work clean (you'll keep these plants for a long time probably) and make sure you have a good understanding of stress symptoms (let her recover everytime you work her)
this is our first attempt at growing a photo plant because we reached the training limit with our previous grow due to it being an autoflower (critical cheese auto zamnesia)
