I'm not expecting more than 2 or 3 ounces, mostly cause I did not train her for production and my best light on her only really effecting the top branches I have growing horizontally out. My next run will be with two mainlined trained ladies whereas I won't have to endure supplying a lot of secondary lighting underneath.

This project was about sustainability more than production. I have also snipped a bud last week and will snip another each week till harvest and then a couple more the last few days of harvest so I can test to see when is ideal for my liking on harvesting her babies since they're clones I should be able to hit that sweet spot each time with these.

BTW I can tell you so far the smell is delicious like strawberry and the nugs that have dried are solid.

Sounds like it's gonna be a good run my man :)


Are you already vegging the Mainlining? Or is the flower cab the veg cab as well?
oh yeah I've got things handled. ..https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog27040-main-lining-showcase-thread-my.html


by the way I sampled a piece of the nug I clipped 9 days ago at about 65% full harvest weeks needed and the one I take today will be 49 days in at 77.77777777777777777777 % seriously infinite .77. Anywise at 65% quite effective head rush and slight body calming lasted about 2.5 hours. So I can't wait to sample today's clipped bud for sampling in 9 to 10 days. In fact this one at 65% is pretty much on par with the best dispensary meds I can get.

She came in at just under 3 oz with 80 grams dried. I think I need to review my drying process, for drying took less then 4 days. They are curing now and I am enjoying the hell of it, smells and taste good.
Now to get the flowering box cleaned up and get ready to move into at least two mainline trained clones for next 56 day run.

Posting pics later tonight.

okay i've been slacking but I am in nirvana right now loving me nuggets. Anywise I am going to post pics soon, gotta get out the househa tonight and enjoy
one thing I do know I think I am going be able to at least flower two next round with main line trained girly girls. Also gonna replace bucket for shallower rectangular container 8-10 inch depth. I discover though the system waters well roots only went about 4-6 deep into the rocks though roots were everywhere they did not extend down to bottom of the reservoir this could be cause I never let the water level get less then half full I wanted to ensure enough water to keep lava rocks wet to draw water up into the bottom of the cloth pot containing the soil. I may have induced the short root length. However it seems best to try another configuration for passive hydro containers to host two ladies to flower.

okay harvest occurred in three stages of trichrome development. Prior I took samples as early as 40 days 5/10, 49 5/19, 53 5/23, 54 5/24 and 55 on 5/25.

On 5/26 56 days 8 weeks I took 1/3 of branches covering top to bottom, 5/29 and 6/1 is when I took the remaining thirds. This represents 8, 8.5 and 9 weeks as the harvesting dates for each third of taken.

Here are some pics of the passive hydro system and root system. Keep in mind I am starting a new design for passive hydro using a tote instead which should allow me to flower 4, for I will have two 24x15x10 inch totes both will hold two three gallon cloth pots sitting on a bed of lava rock filled with water up to top of rock surface just underneath the sitting cloth pots.

Check out now the prior system and its roots...I started with one 3 gallon cloth pot about 2/3 filled with black gold organic potting soil before placing inside another three gallon square cloth pot 1/3 full of super soil (subcool's receipe). I intend to do the same again with my own twist on Super Soil, it's a blend of Subcool and The Rev's recipes. Just in a shorter wider reservoir that I can fit 4 MAIN LINE TRAINED BLUE CHEESE BEAUTIES... Keep you eye open for that journal or I may just amend to this.

Hi NWO,

This was my first attempt using passive hydroponics. I used the five gallon bucket for this one. that is the beauty of passive hydroponics the plant waters itself.
