  1. WAY too leggy to do a GREAT mainline…. they are much more stable and can hold more bud weight when the manifold is closer to the surface of growing medium and the branch nodes are closer together……. you should've watched HyperactiveHigh do it first…… trust me.

  2. Dumb idea of the day: Let's make a video with me trying something new.. Hopefully I don't screw up. But who's gonna watch anyway. I got to the part you said something like "I've never done this" and stopped the video to comment before I ran away.

  3. This is how i like to start my mainline too but instead i top those 4 branches at their 2nd or 3rd node then remove everything below em and end up with my final 8 mains. 8 is what im comfortable with for my set up👌

  4. I am unable to find a follow up to this video? I am interested in seeing the results. IMHO the mainlining should have been done quite a bit earlier which is why I would like to see how this experiment turned out for you. Thank you

  5. I know I'm not the only person saying this, and I'm sorry if you've already realized this at some point since this video is over a year old, but this doesn't appear to be the process of mainlining.

    Mainlining is pretty much an advanced mixture of topping AND lollipopping at the same time when your plant has 6 nodes (pairs of new growth), meaning that mainlining begins when your plant is in late seedling stage, and can be repeated on each branch when that branch gets 6 nodes itself. Mainlining is when you top like I described earlier and cut off every branch beneath the top you just made and every leaf except for 2 of your fattest and greenest leaves to provide nutrients your plant can feed off of because of the stress of this high-level cropping technique.

    This combination of topping and lollipopping is supposed to reduce lower growth in general and promote growth in the new tops, allowing for more even canopies and allows you to control exactly how many bud sites you want, which an experienced grower can use to maximize yields in an indoor space like a closet or a tent where space is limited and the light position is fixed.

  6. Yeah….I don't know about this guy's.
    Don't use bare wire fs.

    I start LST at an earlier stage.

    You want your out door scrog south facing.

    I'm writing this off as a 'what not to do'
