Its more of a pain in the arse if they alternate instead of pairs bro's. Think about how you'd make the cut.
Not sayin it wouldnt work but a pain

Right.
So, if one starts from seed, and uses a not-too-high node to
start the manifold, then there should be only opposite branches
and a perfectly balanced manifold.
If one starts from clones, that are making alternating branches, then
the clone is grown out until it really gets re-Vegging and making opposite
branches again.
I have not successfully Re-Vegged anything yet though.

I believe this phenomena was covered back in the early months of this thread by Nugbuckets. I will dig around and see if I can find what his solution was and re-post it.

Wow that would be awesome, too bad there is not a set of keywords that would easily index a thread. I mean this keywords would have to have a set definition and links to other keywords. anywise I am getting away from the point. But subject matter keywords would be great. Nonetheless I will throw so rep your way if you point me to solution.I believe this phenomena was covered back in the early months of this thread by Nugbuckets.

Hey guys, is this what you were looking for?
...here are a few random shots of main-lining clones.......i don't have much time these days to write, but thought these may be of help until things settle down a bit...(working dep and sun grows together).....if you have any specific questions, please ask, and i will do my best to answer.....
.......with clones, you have to look at it this way....in an asymetrical trunk, the leader will be dominant over any of the node growth below it......so it is just a matter of swaying the dominance away from the main until one of the chosen lower leaders catches up to it in vigor and stem diameter.......and that is done with a pretty radical pinch/bend/bond of the main....look at all bonding, pinching, and pruning as a form of supression, and use that to your advantage.........be well, nugs

If you have alternate nodes that are not symmetrical (clone).. You pinch the taller branch almost like super cropping. That branches growth slows as the shorter branch doesn't and it's able to catch up so they are even. If you know super cropping and lst method. If you are doing Main lining (read nugs how to at the beginning) Its common sense. Not to sound like a dick. But c'mon now.

As soon as i topped my CK, the nodes started to grow alternate. That was at like 4 weeks.
Some people miss things or need to be re taught things, you know .... help.

I had pretty much came to the same conclusion that I will need to manipulate growth on upper branch to allow lower branch to catch up. My thinking was perhaps in how I was taking the clones was producing these alternate single branches. I was hoping to avoid needing to manipulate the growth at various branches to get the symmetrical manifold. This is where I need to perfect my mainlining process for I can produce 8 top easily it just that one or two branches end up on the short side comparatively when it comes to the canopy but practice makes perfect and I am definitely gonna keep practicing mainlining in my grows.
Thanks again everyone for clarifying I am on the right track to get a uniform canopy.

I was only trying to gauge and confirm the consensus.
None of the stuff is written in stone. This much I know.
Yeah, in the end the answer is pretty obvious: Alternation is
an unavoidable signal of maturity and slowing down the faster
branch via SCing or LST is how to deal with it.

Hi guys,
This is my second message at the main-lining thread and i'll leave you some new pics from my first attempt, she has 8 heads at the moment.
Around middle november i'll take her outside so she can keep vegging until mid january i believe. Then starts the fun, flowering until middle march i hope. I am not really sure about the time periods because it's not a strain i've grown many times. I have a few of these flowering right now and they are indica dominant and smells kinda "afghani"
After moving the fan leaves a little bit
Main Hub
And the girls at their habitat, the "ghetto veg"
I have four plants at the moment
-The mainlined "afghani"
-Destroyer x Destroyer (the small one)
-And two local strains called "V9"
Well that's all for now, see ya guys

Well I am healing well after the surgery, still sore but that will take awhile.
Here are a couple of pics of Q1 and Q2 getting a bath. They went an extra day between watering and man do they show it.
going to put them in the cabinet this weekend and switch to 12/12.
More later!
Peace out,
