going to take a while, all depends on how well your plants respond to how you treat them, I'd say at least a month and a half...

I don't main-line my plants but do often top above the 3rd node (node is a single shoot and leaf growing from a larger shoot)
topped this plant couple of times and removed some leaves and flowered, also its only 24" high
mainliner info is spot on mate
well only if you want to grow plants like this

you can get loads of plants like this under a 600w
Didn't I teach you what a node was in Uncle Ben's thread? You forget so quickly...

that's all good due to my cycle I can veg for 9 weeks. Plenty of time to create some monsters

If you cut off the 3rd node you will only get 2 tops
I really don't get you, UB has never shown me a single plant, that has made me think wow this grower really knows his stuff
so I respect him but as a grower, but that's all
my results speak for them self
I have been growing for nearly 10 years as a perpetual grower in soil, under the same light and I have only used a couple of different nutes
the only thing I have tried to master is topping, lst and defoliating, so this makes you sound like a newbie to me lol
a node is a leaf and a shoot off a main shoot , on a plant with staggered nodes, you grow 5 nodes and cut above the 3rd node, just like the top part of this plant

Agree with uncle bens method is shit. I done it with 12 plants. Got two main colas and two shity ones. Got better results without it

UBs method works in a very similiar manner to mainlining, the only reason you got bad results is because you had unhappy plants!

do you ever stop to think or do you just follow everything UB says ?

"UBs method works in a very similiar manner to mainlining" what are you joking
mainlining, don't you top 3 times, lst and remove set leaves at set times
topping, you top once
how are theses very similar, sorry but you need to read up on mainlining and topping
long live ub

its the principle behind each tech, not the specific processes....smdh

Many of the advanced techniques in the advanced cultivation section of rollitup are in fact the same techniques employed in different ways and in different orders to produce basically the same effect.
All about hormones and sugars, and where they're going...

Na mate my plants were happy. Done it with multiple strains and thought just topping alone was shit. When I topped and lst'd a little it was better. Gonna give mainlinin a go on my next run

like mainlining a few year back I worked out if you lst the shoots so there at the same height from the hood and trim the leaves so they have same size leaves on the shoots they will all grow about the same size
as they all become equal auxin dominant tops, so they all draw the same amount of food and grow to equal size
