Just asking new here does anyone main line auto flowers or just photo period. I'm sure it stresses autos and slows the grow down . And the purpose of auto is for faster yeilds.

Тhere is just no time for all that with autos:)I guess some of them could be topped but all that shaping.......Most of them will start flowering meanwhile i guess.
This could be a start of mainlining(because the nodes were on the same height-main line) bu i lust shape them however i can in my case.......:D

It took exactly 8 weeks for me to go from cutting the clone to the photo below. Then I flipped to flower, 4 plants- under a scrog net.

It’s one of these 2 in one tent my man! The tape is there to seal the light the pole is behind the Mylar and I have to hook the hooks to the poles that are in veg side. I Hate the design !

New to growing and ive been looking at mainlining once i transplant in a week, the plan is to grow 3 plants in 3 gallon pots, the tent size is 4x2x6.

After measuring from top of the pot to light i have just shy of 4ft of clearance, i could raise the lights a bit more if need be by a couple more inches to get 4 feet

I was wondering if this space would be enough to mainline 3 plants?

I was messing around one day with a clone that is known to be a floppy mess when flowering when an idea popped into my head.....I grabbed 2 hard metal spike dog brushes , the sharp flat ones that have 100s of spikes, I then started at the bottom of the plant putting the stem between the 2 brushes and squeezing to make tons of tiny holes through the stem.....well I did the whole plant just for fun and a week later the stem was thicker and rock solid, when I flowered it no support was needed and the nodes were tighter than ever.....just another little trick that might come in handy for someone...

Are we talking about wire brushes here or something else? Picture would help thanks

Hey all, this plant was started about 3 months ago. I mainlined it to 8 tops, put it in a 10 gallon pot. And just recently transplanted in to a 15G.
Still a a month or so before flowering will even begin- I’m wishing I went to 16, or even 32 tops! Either way I’ll have 8 huge colas.


and here’s my 3x3 with 4 mainlined gorilla glues.

I like how my mainline Citral Glue came out. I did 16 colas and she is over 36"x36" biggest colas of the four plants. Im sure thats strain related but I will mainline all my plants moving forward. Your GG are freaking awesome brother! Cant wait to see how your outdoor plants do! Keep us posted on this thread!

My Citral Glue was between 26-30" and stretched up to 50" depending on how much head room you have, keeping in mind the distance of your lights to the ceiling or top of tent, and plant to light. I probably have another 8-10" to play with. I imagine they are similar. I was sweating it though. Didn't seem like it would stop stretching. If you have too you can super crop or tie it over until it stops.
