The quantity of nutrients that I use its from BudLabs (Advance Nutrientes's app) and I alternate irrigation of clear water and one of nutrients. Tent size: 50x50x100 cm

Sunday 12th I LST to prepare the next step of Main-Lining Irrigation schedule: - At night when the light its off - Alternated irrigation clear water and water nutrients - PHITONAT PLUS for foliage to prevents pests Next steps for this week: - Create 8 Colas, Wait Until Each Side Has Grown 4 Nodes

14/4 Create 8 Colas: Wait Until Each Side Has Grown 4 Nodes Top to 3rd Node on Each Side Remove All Growth From the 2nd Node, Leaving Just Nodes 1 & 3 In this step i'm going to wait until the new tops/colas have recovered and look like they’re growing fast. Once each side has grown 4 sets of leaves. Then we’ll top all the new colas to the 3rd node again. This time instead of cleaning the whole stem below, I will only remove the growth from the 2nd node. This leaves you with the 1st and 3rd node on each side so after this step I will have 8 main colas. Irrigation schedule: - At night when the light its off - Alternated irrigation clear water and water nutrients - PHITONAT PLUS for foliage to prevents pests (twice a week) Next steps for this week: - Vegetative Stage Care

24/4 LST Manifolded cannabis plant is growing in the vegetative stage, watch to make sure that canopy is staying flat, like a table. It’s really easy to train your plants if you’re checking on them regularly (takes just seconds) but it can be frustrating to try to train plants after their stems have already become hard and woody. If any stems appear taller than the others, gently bend it down and away from the center of the plant. Use twisty tie to secure stems in place so everything stays the same height. Keeping up with this process throughout the vegetative stage gives you a flat, even canopy with many bud sites.

Vegetative Stage Care: only did some LST to some colas to mantein all in the same hight. Now I have to wait to all grow up 10 cm more to chage 12/12.

Irrigation schedule: - At night when the light its off - Alternated irrigation clear water and water nutrients - PHITONAT PLUS for foliage to prevents pests (twice a week) Next steps for this week: - Switch to the flowering stage: before the switch to flowering, I give to the plant a minimal last cleanup by taking off the big fan leaves, especially in the middle and bottom of the plant.

I defoliate the plant around week 3 by removing the bigger fan leaves, and all the lower stuff that’s in major shadow. In general, if you’re unsure defoliate lightly during the flowering stage since you can always take more away but you can’t put leaves back. The plant will stop making new leaves altogether around week 5-6 after the switch to 12/12. Irrigation schedule: - At night when the light its off - Alternated irrigation clear water and water nutrients (250ml each) - PHITONAT PLUS for foliage to prevents pests (twice a week) Next steps for this week: - Plants will slow down in vegetative growth around week 3 or 4 into the flowering stage, and by week 6 they will have stopped growing new leaves altogether, and just be focusing on fattening buds. You need to make sure to leave enough healthy leaves to last until harvest time! Tent size: 50x50x100 cm

Accoording to the technique Main-lining i'll expected buds more bushi but maybe my 100w cob led is to low. Otherwise for my mini tent 50x50x100 cm 26gr of dry buds is great.

It was my first time with main-lining technique, im a grower of 7 years old outdoor (only topping and LST) and 2 years using 50x50x100cm tent. In this experience it was easy to do the main-lining but Its important to check every day the first steps, in a small tent its uncomfortable to do LST. Do not doubt to do it, you can appreciate the flexible of the branches and undestarnd better the plant. I irrigated every days 250ml alternating clear water and nutrients. Thanks for follow me.

What do you think about size of your box? Is 1 meter enough or too much? Do you believe scrog would be good?
WeedAffair
WeedAffaircommented5 years ago
@Psilocubensis, I have 100w cob led and it's not enough to penetrate if you have a bushy plant. Nowadays you have a lot of alternaives for LEDs such as Lighting Group Quantum Board LED. Also depends on the hight of the box you need a powefull led to reach all space. I hope that my answer was helpful

@weedaffair, Thanks! How about hpsXled on 50x50cm, what do you think? Also, is 50x50 enough them?
WeedAffair
WeedAffaircommented5 years ago
@Psilocubensis, Hi sorry for the delay... I should have started flowering earlier for the Main-Lining because this strain stretching to much. I did scrog before and I harvested 25gr from 1 plant in 15l pot. Regarding the box i recommend at least 1.50mts to have more space to stretching I hope that my answers help you, any doubts write me! Good vibes!

i waited 1 month for this harvest. And to be honest,i was expecting more weight. Growers usually say that quantity depends on light and quality based on grower's skill. Maybe its time for a tent and a proper light.

WeedAffaircommented5 years ago
@Carlotta, hi! yes me too when i did the weight of the harvest and saw 97gr i'll been supposed that i'll be have 50 gr of dry buds. I used the Advanced Nutrients app for feeding schedule. To my next step its buy a Mmars Hydro 600w. Despite of get to low weight i learn a new technique that i have to improve in my mini tent. Thanks for your comments and good vibes.

HI @@occultgreen420 , Thanks for comment. This is my first time with Main-Lining. - COB Light 100w (2 of 50w) - One big fan with activated carbon - Humidity for now is from the environment

this plant looks older then 5 weeks, I'd say it's around 7-8 weeks old at least, or very very well grown 😊. Looking good, nice and healthy, wonderful mainlining! how long do you plan in continuing with vegi? what light are you using?

WeedAffaircommented5 years ago
@@@occultgreen420, hi sorry the delay yes you are right the reason is that I germinate a seed 13th of march and waited to the 3rd node to started to use Advance Nutrients, so I count from that week. -I've to wait to grow up 10cm then i change to 12/12. -Its 100watts cob led

Psilocubensis
Psilocubensiscommentedweek 175 years ago
Great gorw to follow!!!! I really love your setup! So the proximity of the light wasn't a problem? Also 100w is a lot of light! I don't think more light could make better, maybe it could kill the plant. You may add CLF on the side, they are colder, and there's "warm light" CLF. I do believe that it go burned, so my tip to you is to put a SCROG on and make the main-lining with fewer branches maybe (this part i'm not sure) The Scrog would help to distribute the light over the plant. I see people cleaning the plant so only the top of the branch get huge colas, and from the middle to the base there only that branch. I hope to see more grows inside this box!! Have a Shroom1!!!! 🙌
WeedAffair
WeedAffaircommented5 years ago
@Psilocubensis, Hi! the proximity wasn't a problem the buds didn't burn, I think that I need more power light because the nutrients that I provided are good and the schedule feeding was according to Advanced Nutrients app but all is try and failure, so for the next time of MailLining I'll do more defoliation and lolly pop to concentrate in the tails. I have a new project ongoing with Double Cookies Auto from BSF seeds in a 7lt pot in a few days I'll post it. thanks for your comment Good vibes
the end.
