basically the idea behind main-lining is this: (original post and main-lining creator by nugbuckets)
definition. a form of training and managing canopy for cannabis.....to build a "hub" off of a single node creating a "manifold" for equal energy distribution from the root mass to the growing tops.
....it really is that simple....i am sure it has been done before, and a lot of folks do it, and probably even has a name, but I just call it "main-lining".....my theory being, on a plant from seed, if all branches came off of the same node on the trunk, they should all get the same amount of hormones and nutrients ...or energy, from the root mass.....like building a "hub"........make sense? I am all about an even canopy, of very similar sized stems, and colas.....like green lady soldiers lined up ready to kick ass and take names......no weak ones, no runts, no spindly ones.....just all solid and consistant......
.......so if they all come off the main stem, like spokes on a wheel, they should all be pretty much the same....????
so topping for 4 0r 8 16 main cola's with trainin to keep it all in line and removing side branching to direct everything to the mains equally.... the important part is the manifold to make sure the distribution is equall..... im not claiming to be an expert on this method this is the 1st time i've got as far as i have now... (my first attempt i bondaged (trained) my plant to death lol and snapped half of her off)..
i'll be doing the trainin as per nugs instructions this time round..
cheers...
