Manifold 101 start week 4
All plants(15) have had their first topping, with a a couple done the old way, and the rest being the new way.
I'm trying one plant, #1 of the lot will be a combination of both ways. First the topping. Then the second topping as if I was doing it the old way. There's basically 4 Colas at this point. The next topping would make 8 Colas. Here's the rub. Instead of topping the 4 to make 8, revert to new way (Nebula), making those 4 Colas turn into 16! Following along, or lost? Watch and learn...😉
Anyway, increasing the TDS reading up 100. Waiting for space in a tent. Most training and last transplanting will happen before that point. Probably a month. The current crop should be flushed and harvested by then hopefully. The Mani's need AC, only available in tent/closet. Will take individual pictures as we progress on...Till then.

Oct.18, Wow, training and trimming15 plants ain't a easy task. Most will be done the New Way(Nebula Method), a couple the old way (NugBuckets Method), and 2 or 3 my method, which is a combination of the before mentioned, except these will have 16 colas. Nebulas method is definitely quicker with less recovery time. A couple of the new method ones are already completely done with trimming, with just a lil' more training is all that's left besides the final transplanting. Nebula has this nailed, and will be my primary method from here out...if the final results are good.
Cuts about 2 solid weeks off the process.
Coming along real nicely! GDP gaining any color yet? If it’s anything like mine you’ll just check it one day and be pleasantly surprised to see some purps!
Good looking out man, these are the types of diary’s I like to see.. informative, experimental and full of information you can use towards your own grows.

Steve's Helpful Hints;
Powdered Backstrap Molasses is easier to mix in your nutrients juice. Little more money, less mess/fuss.
Stage Light safety cables/leashes to secure your lights, fans, and other heavy items. Quite handy. Loop on one end, carabineer on the other. 2 to 3 feet long. Someday you'll curse me for not doing it, or your crushed plants will😳.
Give up compusting your herb. Go Storz and Bickel Volcano 🌋
Your lungs, wallet, and singing voice will thank you. Mine paid for itself in a month...Crafty or Pax for portable 🤗. I can't burn anymore. Tastes terrible, yuck🤣
Mycos plus Plant Root Innoculant. This is magic in a tub. That's all 👍
Buy a Dehumidifier. You're welcome.
If you're mainlining, go Nebula. Saves time, stress, and just plain works better. Leave room for growth. Width and height. Remember, more isn't always better. You'll get better results not crowding. Ex. 4' x 4' tent, 9 plants is perfect while mainlining. I've done 12 - 15 in above tent, and there wasn't room to train properly, resulting in not uniform colas, with airbud in the lowers, and not good light penetration obviously. Your mileage may vary 🤗
Having great results with True Plant Science or TPS. Currently using TPS - One. I found it better than AN.
Also having good results with a powder flower additive called Flower Fuel. It does what it names.
