well, today is day 32 from sprout......i figure right around 42-49 total......6-7 weeks......my goal is 4-5 zips, so i have to make sure she is big enough.....will transplant into a 7 gal smartie with 40% super soil, in about five days......then let her grow some roots before the flip.......i have never grown a.o.s. before so the yeild is kind of an unknown, but i am setting the bar high.....she does have incredible vigor, so as soon as she starts to blast off in her smartie, we will throw the switch.
. After my plants show sex I'm going to try your main lining technique on them 
I wonder how much longer they'll take... Also, how late can you pinch to still get 4 tops like Budologist's vortex does? Are those four all at junction with the main stem like a four way intersection? Or is it the main two from the branch and then he topped those again early to get to split into 4...? Thanks for all the info
he waited a little longer to train his, but should work fine, just a bit more stretched out......from the looks of it, he did it pretty much the same....Amazing thread nugbuckets! Would rep you if I could
yeah bro...it is all about the single hub/node.....the plant then treats everything (all branches) equal....
i think it is pretty badass my self....thanks for tuning in...
this works excellent for limited space grows......but it really shines in a movable smart pot outside......see where we are going with this?....if concealment is a priority, who wouldn't want a 3 foot, self supported plant that has a flat canopy, no larf, and a monster yield? i don't have to worry about the concealment part so much, but i am very much into efficiency......energy in/energy out......the way i look at it...if you can grow a small statured plant, that yeilds like a tree.....wouldn't you grow the small plant?.....so much less energy/resources/overhead in......remember, this is all about putting in the work in the beginning of the grow, to reap the benifits at the end.I think this will work well with my small scrog, cfl = low light , this canopy control is awesome.
a main-lined plant will be quite a bit shorter than one left alone......if you want to have a longer veg time, to get longer donkeys, you can......but this is where the strain becomes uber important.....it works best with a strain that exibits "single-cola dominance"......and resits secondary branching..........
Im sure the whole sub forum would be interested lol.
