Cheers,

Has anybody ever tried mainlining with some dwarf plants? I speak specifically to sub 30 inch strains like Flash Auto, Gnomo, Lowryder stuff, D.J. Short stuff, Russian Rocket Fuel and others from D.J. Short Stuff, etc?

Keep it super, super manageable in a stealth grow and still get over an ounce per plant would be the goal. Some say the autos and dwarfs should be germinated and then grown in the same pot or container and fed nothing for the first 2 weeks or so or very very light feeding and that shock is the enemy and stress training is the enemy. Others scrog, defoliate, deliberately induce transplant shock, etc. Just wondering if anybody thought to main-line for a super small truly bonsai crop. That would be the idea, anyhow.

I did it with a auto didn't document it too much but ended up stretching way to much and not much decent bud very larfy. I ended up using all of it to make water hash.

Do you have a best strains to work with list? I understand the dominant cola strains with minimal sidebranching but got any recs TGA and non-TGA.

Nugs when you force sex. Does height matter? My fruity pebbles kush and my blueberry are around 3 weeks or 4 weeks old, but short. 8 in and 6 inch. But have 4 and 5 nodes though. They have been kind of off to the side in veg. Not enough room. Not getting the best amount of light either.

"it's ALL about the canopy....."
View attachment 2407781[/QUOTE]

Canopy mgmt 101 - when you said earlier you were all about helping people growing decent plant in small spaces - main linning being the key - well rarely have i been more impressed by a picture: the way the canopy is kept down is amazing and if you ever write one of those "urban grower book" i think you've got the cover sir.

Could i be rude by asking how much you think you'll yield on one of those (i know they're only tests, but those plants are closer to what i can consider having, 4-6 of them in 1m2 under 600w in #4.)

Thank you very much.

It is very easy - and it gives you something to fiddle with while you are waiting for your plants to grow!

My good one turned out male (it was my first one!) but I have the two I neglected after topping for four. Now they are stretched out pretty far but putting on weight.

This would be a picture of said plants if PhotoBucket was working!


Cheers,
Mo
