Any one know the yield of a 32 mainlined plant ? I'm growing a single plant Dwc and mainlining to 32 then flowering I'm at 8 now then in a few days I'll top again I'm growing under a 500w full spectrum led but it actually uses 300 was wondering what I could yield in a 2ftx3ft tent

Cheers mate at what height should I flower the plant, like how many nodes should I let the top 32 shoots get before I flower to get some long buds?

Depends on the stretchiness of the strain. Sativas you want to put in flower quickly. Indicas you want to grow out some length before you flower.

I used light deprivation outside to keep a sativa short.

Like Mo said, man there are so may variables.
Light
Water
Nutes
Room temp and RH
Strain
Grow medium
etc, etc,etc

"GROWER"

Grower now that is the key. One grower may get X zips from a given strain and another may double that. It's know the plant and what to expect from it. I think a tight Indica would grow a 32 cola mainline in your 2x3 tent, but not a Sativa dom 32 cola. It is going to a challenge at 32 cola, 16 would do much better, but not saying a 32 cannot be done. A lots of training will be required.

I just pulled 6 + zips from two Sativa dom 8 cola mainline in a 7 sqft cabinet with 400W HPS, and if I had grown this strain before I could have pulled an easy 9 to 10.

Good luck,

Thanks man helps a lot :) I've grown this strain once before she has the fattest stems I've ever seen so mainlining seems like a good option, the last grow grew 4 in one Rubbermaid to harvest and root rot right from the start and still managed to pull 4 zips of top head and I had so many suckers down the bottom I should of trimmed before flipping I reckon I could've done a lot better lol

Why do you think my girls are so short/small stout?
Does anyone think they might stretch real nice in flower? Mainlined for 8 a few days ago.

Take a look

Let her grow somemore.
Don't worry about the stretch unless you don't have enough height. My cabinet is 6 feet tall, my very first grow was a Querkel, very indica, very short and I had a mainline to 8.
25" and yield of 4 zips from the one mainlined and 2+ from a clone of her that I did not mainline.

Thanks, I have plenty (another 3 to 4 feet/tent is 7') of height. I was really hoping that she would have been around 24" before flower but she is not getting any taller and all her node's are stacked damn near right on top of each other. Another 3 weeks of veg ahead.

Be sure to get some clones, she sounds like she is going to be a keeper. I have let too many get away. Damn I hate when that happens!

Really wish I had the space to have a second room just for veg so I could keep some around and potentially cross them with something more on the sativa/taller side. Not sure if maybe I got a different pheno or maybe it is the led lights? Pretty reliable source on seeds though, could only find them from two places. Screenshot_2015-02-23-12-03-43.png
