I hear ya, I would want to do 2 plants for variety. only issue I have is they are all regular seeds, so im always cautious about numbers, so I can get a higher chance of getting females
You might wanna just say fk it and do 4 smaller containers topped twice shorter veg. Basically a single 16 cola plant. More varieties and better odds to utilize all your footprint. Possibilities are endless lol
so instead of 3 gallons do 1 or 2 gallons, then manifold the shit out of them? lol
I think you could do four 3 gal in a 3x3 easily. If you are not growing in amended soil that would be perfect. Only top them twice and do some femming and supercropping where needed. That's what I would try if I was wanting variety. Im only on my 3rd round so.....lol but I try to do my homework. Start a diary and let us know when you do so we can follow. I'm assuming you haven't of course.
not yet, im on my first successful run ( so far, fingers crossed) from seedling without killing anything, and of the 4 I do have growing I think 3 are males. so I plan on going a couple more weeks at least to see if they determine sex, cull the males, then scrog the remaining plant(s). I have 4 in 3 gal pots right now.
Excellent! Keep posting along then. Here's a couple clones of my current grow when I first topped them. I wanted to try a clone to see how it performs vs a seedling mainlined plant.
Nice job, so do you keep trimming the tops after this stage? or, do you let them grow up from this point?
Once you get the desired number of bud sites. I let them go and eliminate any that will not mature to amount to anything. Like removing the ones under the canopy. I don't lollipop as the lower nugzzz are good for concentrate.
Gnarly looking....
I know right, came up with the idea Mainlining/Manifolding would yield double if you doubled the amount of starting branches as long as they all come off of one node/knuckle. Soni was trying to invent something new lol
Hello and I love this site @Aqua Man ! I topped or FIM’d my GDP/GSC and its only just turned 4weeks and when I grabbed it separated the tiny leaves on the top like I was told there were white hairs present and I clipped it down to 1/4in about above the node it had begun smell like a bud forming. Is that normal? or is this going to produce some sticky sticky buds since its still in Veg???"Main-Lining"
The act of training a cannabis plant to form a "hub" or "manifold" off a single node, creating a center for equal energy distribution from the roots to each cola.
See that main-lined marijuana plant at harvest.... Nothing but huge, dense buds!
Hub: A place or thing that forms the effective center of an activity, region, or network.
Manifold: A pipe or chamber branching into several openings, "the pipeline manifold"
..
The result of main-lining marijuana is an even canopy and bigger yields with little extra effort.
No more larfy popcorn buds stealing energy away from the main colas!
Here's a few more marijuana main-lining pictures so you can see what I mean about the effortlessly even canopy. Main-lining is effective for increasing yields both indoors and outdoors.
Outdoors - Greater stealth & control
Indoors - Easy flat canopies & bigger yields with the same grow lights
