These were different phenos of the same strain. Same size containers.
Same training, nutes, etc. One got bush and the other didn't.
The bushy plant lost an arm early on in training so was only 7 heads.
(also popped a single male flower during week 3)
Stacked the two trunks and they match closely.
Roots after harvest were solid across the whole container.
This was the first of the 'organic' routine and really am liking what I see.

My White Widow from Greenhouse seeds is an auto flower and I mainlined them. Greenhouse seeds are bunk, total scam.
I wonder what will happen to this perfectly mainlined auto?
Anyone know how to upload a pic?

Update on the mainlined auto flower white widow from Greenhouse Seeds and a picture of my struggling california Orange from Dutch Passion. If anyone can diagnose this I would be grateful.
I am running FF ocean forest and happy frog with some added perlite. I use FF grow big and big bloom and I did add some cal mag. PH is under 6.5. I use only a 1/4 of the feeding(2 cups of nutes from a gallon mix then 4 cups distilled water. All my other plants are fantastic.

This is my first attempt at mainlining. 4 plants with 8 colas each. I decided on this technique a little late into flowering so the main stem before the manifold is longer then should be.
30 days into flower of my Huwaiian Afghan

i love mainlining . i did this 8 topper last run this time 16 tops.
i hit one branch with snowcap pollen hehe. i need more of these seeds . Hopefully its still good . First pic is topfed and the stem is huge . this one is bubbled and has much smaller stem. But thats another story lol. I could delete like 4 lowerish branches but what the hell. got plenty room. if running 4 under one light id pull them for sure.

Hello RIU
Been reading this thread and i'm almost done! In the meantime here is my 1st attempt at mainlining...
She's a two month old Purple Trainwreck clone with 8 tops. At about 13 inches right now, she is super bushy so i'm not sure how the 8 tops will work out but I don't want to lose any potential yield. I've taken mucho cuttings from her and its about time for the flower cycle. Very happy with the results so far so its time to see what she will do!!!
Easy growin!!

Believe or not its those aren't side shoots. She's topped exactly as instructed in this thread. Those two mains have been lagging behind ever since I topped for 4 mains. Those 2 short mains are about 10" and the other bigger mains are 13-14". She came from a stunted mom so i'm thinking this has lingering issues related to that I did see some weird things in early veg. After all the trimming i've done on her she decided to grow this way. Here is another shot from the other side.
My height is limited to 40", I decided to start the flower cycle yesterday i'm not sure how much she will stretch. I know its not the best structure though I've been contemplating this. Most of my cuttings have been dying from the heat so I guess I'm a lil anxious to crank up the flower tent. What ya think?

I actually decided to take your previous advice and clipped those mains...Sacrificing another 2 weeks at this point isn't really a big deal I really wanted to fill up the flower cab first with clones to maximize space. I clipped to lower 2 mains and got 6 cuts from them. Considering my main focus is for SOG, this plant was an experiment. I can still get 8+ tops from her so ill veg for another week or 2 while my rooted clones gain some size. Thanks for the advice!

If you bend and tie those end four down the ones in the middle will start to catch up. I know that you have height issues but that will even out the canopy in a week or so. It will also let the root system grow before the flip.

Here are some of the flowering tent. Far left is a Wish and a blue balls, Next is a seedsman white widow front and a cali-o in the back. The three little ones middle and back right are afgooey the two older autos are blueberry. On the right that is a greenhouse seeds auto white widow which I bought as a feminized pack of five only germinated one and it turned out to be an auto. I did not know this and I mainlined it to eight. Pretty interring to see it grow.

@Mohican Well, heres an update...
Those 2 mains are gone, but after looking at this plant I realized I could maybe take those 4 tops, veg a lil and still get 12 tops to flower. On the 2 outer tops the 3rd nodes have symmetrical shoots, maybe with a lil more veg those will become mains and with some training the lower shoots will become mains as well giving me 12 from what I've counted. The more cuts the better as far as i'm concerned. But I have limited experience as a grower and am concerned that all this topping will piss the plant off and cause issues during flower. Also, can you give an estimate on how long those tops will need to be ready for the flower cycle?
