To perform a good Mainlining ist important toi have a good strain. That means a vigor growing one. And the stems, leaves and branches should not be sturdy. So your Gorilla Girl is excluded. Thise Gorillas tend to be very sturdy and ist nearly impossible to perform mainlining. I dont know whats with your Girlsscout crack.…. If she grows vigor and her branchesare good to bend and bind... you may start soon. But i would wait another weeek. They look quite small. A nice Mianlining will take you 8-10 weeks Vegetation. Do you have another tent=? for the Mainlining Girls=?
So i hope i coulöd enlighten your thoughts

Mrs_Larimar is 100% correct on this one. Your structure doesn't really look like mainlining will be your best bet. I would opt to lst those instead. Good luck!

Hi @Raptor65 It is better to wait. When the plant has a minimum size of about 5 or 6 knots and performs a first pruning at the height of the third knot from below. It is the first step towards obtaining an “axis” of a single node, as soon as it starts from this moment, energy is transmitted equally by each of the first two foci that we receive. good luck mate 👍

Perfect Mainline End look for maximum yieldFirst decent mainline grow from seed. Still learning. Avoided keeping tiny branches to avoid popcorn buds. Now that they are still vegging but have the shape I want, do I leave the branches now? Or chop tiny low ones to try and get THICK single nug branches?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

Days between LST for mainline/manifold trainingFor mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?4 years ago
