- spread the branches on day 31 as they really needed some space, next i noticed a branch snapped a bit! She didn't really care
- almost time to transplant, as growth seems to be slowing down, i'll do that when i top her for the last time
Well done GardenOfAutos, not only with the plants, but one of the most consistent and systematic diaries. I appreciate the great detail of many high resolution photos, but done in a patterning where it is not spamming or overloaded. Great style.
the main lining technique that you did is looking wonderful, but that is it. With what you had, if you want yield, you should have left it for another 4-6 weeks in vegi to see the results. There are many main lining methods out there, some better then others depending in which environment you grow. For best yield indoors, leave plant to grow 5-6 knots from seed. Cut above 4th. Clear 1st and 2nd. Now you have 4 mains for LST. Leave to develop each 5 nodes and cut above the 4th and clear 2nd. Now you have 16 colas by the 6th week. After the last topping, 6 more weeks of vegi which brings it to 3 months. With main lining, is like growing a new plan from each shoot. Takes time to form a plan worth of yield/time investment. Best balance imo is 3 months vegi with 2 months flower and 1 month dry and cure.
I hope you will not get discouraged in doing again main lining and fluxing methods. It's a really wonderful way of manifesting over this plants. Check out my diaries, I have 4 plants under different main lining methods, now starting week 9 of vegi.
All the best!
Hey are your plants really in 3 gallon pots? Did any of them get root bound from 10 weeks of vege ? What is your watering schedule for such big beautiful plants in small pots?
Happy growing, cheers !!
