Mainlining how to w/pics - any interest?

I've done a few successful mainlines and believe I have a pretty decent process, was thinking of doing a how to with pics. I'm busy so I'm always looking for ways to streamline; the how to would go from germing in 1 gal fabric to making the first cuts and training. Then into 5 gal final with two-part cage installation. I've learned the typical 36" and taller tomato cages prevent COBs from hitting early veg canopy, a simple snip above the first ring then tape the cut part back on at flip.

Also best methods on watering in fabric. Example, I've used a wicking method, pots draining (in my shower), then towel transport back to tent. I've found it creates a near perfect saturation without soggy bottoms. Obviously many ways to do things, but a pictorial of one way will certainly demonstrate what generally goes in to it. I've been taught a quick lesson how coco and powerful COB affect feed ratios (esp calmag), so these girls are getting dialed in..

well imma do one for kicks. should be decent. Cheers
Exactly right...
Let's have your angle on it without the heavy organic overtones (no offense to the No Till Army intended)
It's a bit buried over in that section but active and definitely informative (read it at least 3x end to end so far)
Posted here it would see more views by all the LED traffic that has to come through to get to that sub forum

My way isn't exactly 'up to date' but is a process to see what works.
I plan to force sex at 21 days - leave Node2 clones at first topping - clone the upper part of first topping

Show us what you got (promise not to point and laugh)...

That plant looks like it needs more food. And if you want to get picky with it, tighter pruneing cuts. Long stubs arent good for rot. Also your tiedown method looks WEAKSAUUUUUUCE.

Now, on the positive, your plants look like theyre off to a good start minus the feeding issue.
