Hey fellas, I read the mainlining tutorial n nugbuckets says that if a main grows taller than the rest he supercrops it. I tried to pinch at the middle of the main but its really tough, shud I pinch and bend more towards the top of the main?

Yes in the soft tissue, you don't want to snap it, but if you do, have some Duct Tape ready and secure it with tooth picks and the tape.

You can do it on the hard stuff too. Just squeeze it between your fingers and work it until it softens and cracks then slowly bend it. It will heal with a big knuckle.



The tips tend to snap cleanly off when you try to bend them so be carefull. After watering can make things a little softer.

I haven't grown weed since I was 20..45 years ago..
Mainlining intrigued me, so I bought some seeds and started reading everything I could find..bought Nevels Haze..don't know squat about the strain..liked the name I guess.....but here they are..going to force flowering May 1..putting the girls out during the day (Arizona) and then in the dungeon til the lights go out.
Space is a premium..do they need to be transplanted for flowering?

Here they are after 11 days of 12/12
I've been able to keep them outside during the 12 daylight hours and in the closet the other 12..

My question is...within a few days our highs will be 107 plus..can I keep them in the shade or will the lack of direct light affect the flowering?

These have been spending half the day in the shade:








They seem to be much happier than when they were getting full sun all day.

I'm worried the temps we get here (up to 125 in July) and factor in 3-8% humidity and I fear they will just wilt ..
I'll likely just keep the out for 2-5 hours then into the grow room the rest of the day..

Ok,

Final/Final, 5.6 zips on this grow, should of been more but made way to many mistakes. Thats a total of 12 + zips for the season, enough meds for both my lady and I. It is a learning process, for sure. My bud in NM has been growing since 86' and he says he still learns something every grow. He is. like me, a hobby grower so we get what we get, at least we don't have to fuck with the damn dealer man. I know how and with what my meds are grow with! That is more important than paying a shit load for some nice looking get high buds that you don't know how and with what they were grown.

Hello, my girls r coming up well. I just wanted to know ur opinions on how much to trim while vegging, cause yesterday I trimmed all the 8 mains so that now there's only one node under the top. And the plant just looks naked. But reading all the tutorials from nugbuckets he said to trim a lot cuz lower nodes just slow down the mains growth. I gotta take a pic later on to show how much I pruned. I can see little pistils coming out around each node tho.
