@@ShotGunBob, hey there. This technique is a manifold which I choose to use 4 branches instead of the classic 2. This does not cause any plant stress, that my friend is an urban myth. My last run which you can see here: https://www.instagram.com/danksquared_/ . This grow was in one of my 2x4 tents which was loaded with big healthy plants that blossomed some very very nice flowers. Check it out, the proof is in the pudding as they say.
I only kept two branches instead of the 4 here. Mainlining and manifolding are basically the same thing, lst is simply another term for training or tying down a branch. Which has been used by gardeners for 100s of years.
Automatics do have a short lifespan if you let them grow from seed to finish, however if you employ Mainling techniques you can hold that auto flower in veg for as long as you want. As you can see by the link i posted, I held the Blackberry and Bloodyskunk in veg for 7.5 weeks, which is nearly the usual lifespan of letting a Auto grow from start to finish.
Do check out my Insta, there are some beautiful photos of Auto's being given low lifespans.
