I am not being funny, but in 8 weeks of veg, pinning shoots as I went and topping each branch when it reached the edge of the pot I ended up with a dozen viable heads per plant and a perfectly horizontal main stem. At nearly 8 weeks of veg I'd want to be seeing at least 8 viable heads on each plant, not the 4 you seem to have.

I am not growing in coco I am growing in a locally produced peat free mix called Westcountry Gold, with added Perlite and feeding with a generic Liquid Seaweed Tomato feed for veg.

Nuggets style yes, very nice! How many weeks in when taking that photo?

Not sure how many weeks when I took that photo.
Here's what they looked like at 6 weeks from sprout.

Oh I see,so when the main goes into 2 horizontal stems thats a mainline? I dont see why is that different then branches going up at a 45?

A typical mainline is topped 3 times to produce 8 tops..........there is no net.
Some people top 4 times for 16 tops.
I don't mainline anymore because it takes too long........I like to veg only 3-4 weeks.

Thank you! Me too! I want to see 8 viable heads please ! For some reason the fan leaves are really getting big and the grow tips are on hold.. But I’m confident that really soon the grow tips are going to explode.. please keep in mind I had a really bad nute burn 2-3 weeks ago.

They look very nice! What is the purpose of the yellow ring around the stem? Are you giving them grow hormones??

Yes good catch! I’m pomping air in my autopots.

Thought that looked like an autopot,so you've got your hands full.Haven't seen much good from those,hope you prove us wrong.

I don't do hormones lol..........I like to keep things simple.
Those rings are hydro halos..........that's how I feed them.........attach a hose with a funnel on the end and pour.

With mainline you only get big fat colas, all equal! And no small buds.

Actually I have got a faulty system, older model trays with new AQUAvalves.. I had to cut down the plastic T in the trays with a knife to fit on the AQUVales.. Also I think I turned them to soon on.. after sending them pictures of my faulty system, autopots costumer services have send me a new system for free! I’m going to pick it up tomorrow, install it and turn them back on! That is going to make my weekend great!

Another vote for supersoil. I've been smoking my fair share of medical dispensary weed since it's become legal in Ohio and most of this crap grown with synthetics in coco is complete garbage. Yea it looks pretty, but thats where it ends. Only one of the many cultivators in Ohio grows in organic super soil and it literally blows everything else away in taste, looks, and potency. Quit trying to be fancy. High quality soil, High quality organic dry amendments, clean water, and the right grow environment ='s the best smoke on earth.

Maybe an Ohio dispensary thing?

If the product is garbage it would have been garbage in organic soil as well.

The choice of nutes is irrelevant.

Salt based nutes + coco works extremely well

It's still going to depend on the strain.

7 weeks old in coco.

Those were already flowered and harvested. 4/6 we're female and I kept 2 of them.
