Starting to wonder just how Inbred this mighty mite is... lol

Lol. Hate when that happens. I like to leave some space to topfill and bury the stems after 5 days or a week.
Alright, recap for the last 4 weeks of vag.
First pic was taken on March 21st, the day I planted the one week old rooted clones into 1 gallon pots.

Holy hell! That is some fast growth.

Also I'll throw in, that I think this new pruning method is making them grow faster too. I'm only ever removing the very young shoots at the nodes as they grow in so its low stress, and the plant is never putting energy into a node I'm not going to keep anyway. The thought is, when the branch only has one growing tip, that's where it focuses all its energy. The branch gets bigger, harder, better, faster and stronger than if the same branch were left with all its nodes growing shoots. lol, and veg is all about growing strong branches to support massive top growth. That's the theory anyway and there seems to be something to it. These branches are getting bigger and stronger by the hour it seems. When it comes time to flip there will be nothing to prune away really. Then when it's done, itll be all tops and mids with hardly any smalls, if any, making trimming a breeze. Not to sound too predictive... you never know how a crop is gonna go.
Hey man! I circled which one is the pre-98 Bubba if ya wanna follow its progress.FUNK YES BRO!!!!!!!
Exactly. I top the plant when it has 10-12 growing nodes and let those become my main branches. Then just lollipop them up to the tip once a week, leaving the leaves intact, just removing the shoots. I do start removing some of the older fan leaves inside the plant low down on the branches around week 3 of veg.I'm definitely going to start giving that a shot. It's just trimming the new shoots that you don't want to grow, like lollipopping before flipping to flower?

Once you flip, you dont touch 'em. Just support it. You end up depending on strain with a 12-18" deep, flat canopy of well developed buds.
It's like, the much faster growing alternative to mainlining when you want a flat canopy. lol
Mainlining just seems unnecessarily OCD about making a symmetrical plant rather than just trying to encourage a pretty even canopy...
Awesome, thanks for the details.
Yeah, mainlining is nice but it's not the most efficient use of space unless the plant is gonna be trellised and grown horizontally. And it definitely slows growth down.
It looks damn cool when it's done right, I'll give it that. It just seems like it seriously sacrifices the growth rate by stressing the plants for really not much benefit. But to each their own.
Oh yeah, absolutely. It's very cool from a horticultural training perspective. I'm sorta mainlining one of the ladies that I've got going now.
Do you use humic and fulvic acids in your grows? Would you add them to the watering mix or use them as a foliar? If as a foliar, in conjunction with anything else?

I have quite a bit in the past, and currently am using floralicious plus for some SWE and Humic. Ive never supplemented with humic/fulvic specifically. Only SWE/Humic mixes as the combo has been proven a valid biostimulant, and even has a pretty well documented ideal ratio of 5:2. But as a general rule I dont foliar my plants with anything. I like to keep things dry up top. But it can be fed foliar for sure. Some people think foliar spraying is pointless because the stoma are a one way street, but things can be absorbed by what I think is called translaminar absorbtion through the cell walls.
