2 mk ultra and 1 GDP

I have 1 blue dream but that is a whole other experiment

So I can't believe how much of a quicker process this method is... let's see how they will yield this way...

2 mk ultra 1 gdp in 1 gallons...

I have 1 blue dream and that will be it's own experiment

So I went for the double threat all at once... I ended up doing a transplant and topping these girls for 2nd time... you can see how this mainline method can cut down on veg times.... let's see how they do for yields?!?!

Took some nice photos of the cross sections to see what is actually going on

So you top twice and then tie them down? Is that what you are saying?

I tie down from the 1st topping....

Normal mainline method people will top and leave only 1 node... this method you have to top 3x creating a longer veg cycle

This method by leaving 2 nodes to start off with 4 branches already you only need to top more time to get your 8 branches...(I do 8 indoors)...
This has saved me at least an extra 30 days of veg and still getting the "normal mainline effect" faster

They look great.
I love mainlining. I found this this way of doing things. I use 1/4" Dowel from the hardware.
Makes for a real nice job.

Light stress... I did transplant and turned lights down a bit... figure by a week from this posting they will be as good as new....

I am flipping 3... the 4th I'm gonna put in a 15 gallon pot and go for 32 arm plant in 1 space

How long will that 32 arm plant take to veg? How big of a space are you trying to fill?
