Mainlining focuses on a completely symmetrical manifold.
Whereas f.o.c focus on the unique growth pattern of individual phenotypes. To dictate if you top or not, or just tie down all new branches.
The aim is to create as many new shoots as possible that will grow even with each other.
While keeping the initial manifold split as low to the ground as possible.
This is to maximize your horizontal real estate (cu ft) before you ever start maximizing your vertical height.
Just know if I ever get to expand my grow room in a legal state it will be epic. But for now I'm hoping to live vicariously through
@jumpincactus when he grows the beast clone in a 100 gallon smart pot filling up a 5x5 tent. I'm imaging bushes like these

Did you know my beast clone and #3 in the micro have 40+ tops each and are in tiny spaces lol.
The beast itself has 58 tops in a 2x2 space :cool:
Next time i run the beast the goal is to break this previous record in the same space.
