Mainlining yield
Keepitgreen
started grow question 6y ago
Hello GD.... I'm thinking about doing mainlining on my next couple grows. And understanding that everything is right but is there an average yield for mainlining? Only planning on 8 colas per plant. Thanks for all the feed back.

The yields really depends on the number of colas and your chosen strain. I've seen some impressive mainline grows. π€π€

Any of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. π I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches

Is this normal growth for a mail-lined plant?
I mainlined 8 colas on both plants. Each one has a small stem growing at the beginning of each cola. Is that normal growth for a main-line? I thought at this stage it would be just 8 long colas. Should I remove them or just leave them?

Did I lollipop too much?
Did I lollipop too much? Left the top node only and stripped all lower bud sites but I left the fan leaves intact. Iβm planning on flipping to 12/12 in a week. By the time itβs done stretching will I have enough new nodes to form top colas, which is the goal here? Thanks growmies

Do you think the girls are ready for the flip to 12/12? I am mainlining so both plants have 8 grow tips (topped 3 times). It has been a week since Long Shanks got her final topping and 3 days since Sweet Baby James got hers. (I have circled the 8 grow tips in the photos).

How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?
How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.

Main-lining Guidance.
First time attempt at main-lining. This breed gave me huge colas on my last grow and Iβd love to have an even canopy of them! Any suggestions, comments or even criticisms are welcomed. Iβd like to know what I am doing right or wrong and know how to do it better. Thanks all!

I am mainlining this plant, but Iβm not sure if I let the branches grow off at the every node or snip them off so the focus goes to the main cola?

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?
Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

Mainline inconsistency
I started mainlining my plant and one of the main branches stopped growing completely :s Anyone seen this before? Iβll probably have to top her a few more times to make up for it.
