I waited till 6 first time (and currently) as I wanted to be sure the roots were able to support such a drastic change of events.

Here's my full grow report.

Spider Farmer And 8 Main Colas Experiment (Mainlining/Manifolding)

For anyone who is interested I will be posting the observations and results as the weeks go on here. I am normally a strict HPS and MH fan but have decided to see what happens when I use the Spider Farmer lights instead. I have germinated 7 seeds and had 6/7 come through, this will be...

I suggest waiting until the plant is strong enough to handle the cut!

While I have followed the 5 or 6 node, then cut to 3 idea a few times with success, I am now a subscriber of waiting until the plant is strong, well rooted and ready. This prevents wasted time of a weaker plant recovering.

Also, I used to train multiple colas by topping, now its just LST, saves time, and most importantly money.

Good luck growing!

You can retrain the other side dont worry. Just takes a little longer in veg. Just top the other side a few more times and lst it to position.

So we basically did all that for nothing. Good news both of the ones I mainlined flowered early. So you may have a quick plant on your hands.
