taming the beast........
this is the three mained D-train at 9 days bloom.....i have always been aggressive when it comes to pruning the understories of my plants, esp. now that i started juicing raw canna for my health.........i have begun pruning much earlier now that i jones for fresh canna juice......but 8-10 days is about the earliest i want to go, i don't want mess with the hormones necessary for bud set......but once the buds start forming flowers pretty good, i hack away.....sub has said that main-lining was throwing him a bit as far as having enough options for grabing a clone off the young main-lined plant........this is
one of the reasons i prefer working with plants from seed....because when you make the initial
pinch for two on a seed plant you can leave the two clones on the node beneath, and remove them when they are the perfect size for an easily rootable clones.........seed plants are a dream compared to working this method with colones.......but it just takes a bit more finesse...
.......so, say you main-line a clone to have three mains, with say three branches each for a total of 9........you generally have to take the least dominate branch as a clone, thus ending up with eight heads.....now this is just with smaller plants....if you want to veg them a bit larger, you will have a few more options, as there will always be one or three you can trim out for clones.....
