This was a great experience, my3rd Auto plant. As soon as it showed its first pistils I topped it and mainlined the new top two nodes into a 4 way mainline. The plant recovered very well and began flowering and filled out great and filled in evenly. Buds are not super big but compact and quality. Smoke is great, nice steady high. Success! Cheers๐
@HAPPY91, Excellent, I am quickly becoming a fan and will check it out, thanks! I am currently working 1 photoperiod into a kinda main-lining. I already did some LST and so that made the traditional mainline difficult but its all good and the plants are growing so I am happy. It is great how diverse this beautiful plant is ๐
@Troy_Farms,I very much enjoy main-lining. If your going to do it on photo period plants I recommend Nugbuckets style. I have tried different ways of mainline and it's my best so far. But everybody has a preference.
@HAPPY91, Thanks so much! I definitely will. I also look forward to this technique on my photoperiods so I can have a controlled flowering. All good things and thanks again friend, cheers!
digging the 4 branch mainline! super inventive, i experimented with the same thing on my tropicanna poison. it yielded over half a lb by itself, guess the 4 branch works haha
@tokesly, Awesome man! Yeah it is definitely the strongest training ive found in my training. If only I was able to grow out of a tent bigger then a 2x2 HAHA. All good though, work it out ๐๐
@TheFlyingDutchman,
She was amazing! I have since used this strain and bred a beautiful new autoflower strain and really loved the characteristics of these buds. I top all my autos and do it around week 3ish or so. Sometimes week 4. If I see first pistils (typically show on top of plant first) then I will top and I noticed that delays the flower by around 10 days and so the plant has time to recover before going into full flowering. It is stressful but Marijuana is a stress loving plant and so it actually responds better to stress as it promotes more growth.
