Thank you gentlemen. I have read on this technique. Your BW looks like it is responding great to it.

Considering I spilt the stem vertically while tying it down, yeah not too bad thanks. I will chuck some more pics up showing it, she bounced straight back though, amazing really!

So far its been quite a resistant plant but we will see what happens in flower eh to see if its a keeper.
I'm no authority on mainlining at all and this is only my second try, nugbuckets is really the dude in this department. His thread is here so check it out.
My only real complaint so far is the time it takes to be honest, I have plenty of time so it doesn't really bother me, others I'm not sure though.

Lookin gud man.
I wonder if this would work without the toppin nd training? Just removing side branching nd grow 1 fat cola? Mmmm

Thanks mate
You wouldn't get the same effect I'm afraid... here is nugs definition. "Mainlining is a form of training and managing canopy for cannabis.....to build a "hub" off of a single node creating a "manifold" for equal energy distribution from the root mass to the growing tops".

Hell yes it would work. Tie a stake to the main stalk and bend all lateral growth to focus the auxins to the main cola. I love y'all's BWs. She is a resilient one for sure. The training is time consuming but worth it in the end run. I as well top mine and train all the stalks. Keeps the canopy even and snip all the weak bud growth on the bottom 1/3 of the plant.
What is you're guys average veg time and and desired height when mainlining?

I dont kno about batf1nk's patty but mine was vegging for 8 weeks she was a massive 6 1/2" tall when she got flipped lol (about 9" wide tho) very fast developer in flower tho.
I might try that single cola with no side branching on a monster (eva seeds) wont take up much room nd i like messing with stuff lol

Morning matey, hope you are better today.
That little bonsai I put up has been vegging around 9 weeks... Now I could have achieved same results in a smaller time-frame but I was still growing for clones using her so was waiting for the suckers to get big enough for cloning out.
It started off as a sideline experiment to be honest. A free dinafem bean chucked in a cup then me standing over it rubbing my hands together laughing nefariously thinking what I could do with it.
I popped it then as soon as it was working on the second true node, I topped. If your not after clones I would trim everything early (Not too early that the remaining leaves wont support the plant though). Also remove the suckers quickly and the energy will go to the right place. So far I have had 14 clones so the time spend growing these can be reduced by removing everything quicker.

oh how i love lemon haze!!!View attachment 2363583This is my first plant I do not take great pics but she is loaded with buds I am 5 weeks into flowering I think I have about 6 more to go on this strand. The lemon haze about 3 more. Light of Jah is awaiting game but well worth the wait if I can do it.

The bw had 8 week veg mate. The other 2 are 12/12 from seed.Did you say it was 12/12 from seed? I forget, just expected it to stretch like a bitch reading the description on tude.
Man shes gonna look great
Check out seed finder for strain info u wont find on the tude (give traits pheno's how much stretch the works)
Bw stretches 98% so just under x2 lol
