Skunky's Proper Mainline With Some Help From Dexter

Mr Legend · 11-10-15, 03:44 PM

Haha... No worries bro, judging by how thick she's getting should be a nice and bushy canopy with thick colas...

Took me few grows to get it right bro and I'm still learning with every new strain I grow and adjust my technique along the way, you'll nail it next run cause you'll know what to look for in a plant before each step...

**Skunky n funky** · 11-10-15, 03:46 PM

I remember u telling me in the beginning that I could top at the 1st node for a compact plant or 3rd for a wider canopy. I though I wanted it wider cause I didn't account for the amount of growth this plant makes. She's a keeper strain so far tho.... I still suck at pics but here is an attempt at some decent pics.

Hope these work for u... The spacing is very tight but this should give me my 8 tops so since she's this long already should I go for the 1st or 3rd node on this one?

**Skunky n funky** · 13-10-15, 04:36 PM

So the 3 nodes are all pushing out new tops now, where do u suggest my next cut on what node? I can post new pics if those aren't clear enough.

**Skunky n funky** · 15-10-15, 03:59 AM

Growth at the nodes is fully developed now this plant flew in development compared to my last fail. Scissors are handy!!! Let's get this final chop over I'm ready to let this baby fly for a bit I think it's going to explode. The sister or this one is alternating nodes so she's close to maturity.

Hey Skunky, I'd lead them along the rim and top at third node so the four manifolds will be pretty much evenly spaced around the pot and you can then let those eight new tops shoot up... Once they gain two-three full nodes on each top you can flip them and train the colas around that canopy ring you have, you'll just have to raise it...

Looking great so far dude, really happy for you...

Pics are great btw...

**Skunky n funky** · 15-10-15, 04:30 AM

Thanks for the speedy reply. So I am a bit confused. Should I wait to op till the 4 tops are even or top now at node 3 and continue to walk them?? I'm stoked this plant is progressing so well and I truly think it will explode with growth. This strain is supposed to produce some massive colas. The tent helps with taking pictures. I need to get better cause my ladies are in week 6 of flower and I can't take a decent photo. I'm stoked to see what the difference is going to be between her and her sis. I'm inly super cropping and topping the other. .

**Skunky n funky** · 15-10-15, 05:10 AM

I reread what u wrote and went ahead and topped her right at the 3rd node. I will put up pictures in a week or so once the new tops come in. Thanks again Dexter for the help!!!

Just chiming in so can get updates for your progress..

Watching !

**hotshot** · 20-10-15, 10:52 AM

She is looking super their Skunky, 6 days since update, she should be a monster by now.

This mainlining is something that I have never seen before, must take lots of time to get the roots that big, or do you know a secret that I don't.

Mr Legend · 21-10-15, 02:38 PM

How's she doing brother Skunky...?

Don't leave us hanging for so long lol...

**Skunky n funky** · 21-10-15, 02:44 PM

All 8 tops are developed nicely besides 2 which are a bit behind. They are on the second node however... I figure u more weeks or so before she's ready to flip but I'll throw a pic up in the next couple of days.

hoffmans2k · 21-10-15, 07:54 PM

subbed up for this and im all caught up now

looking amazing by the way guys

**Skunky n funky** · 21-10-15, 08:38 PM

Thanks Hoffman and welcome to the grow. A couple weeks to flip I do believe. More pics coming.

**Skunky n funky** · 23-10-15, 01:50 AM

Haha well here is the update on ur advice Dexter the later pictures are to slow the growth of the less developed top... Give her a few days and I'll update the progress.

Here after removing the fan leaves to slow the growth a it let the other one catch up a bit.

As u can see by the last picture she is just a few days behind.... I'm not far from the flip huh??? I know hotshot warned me that this strain makes some very heavy colas so if I have to let her go a bit longer to accommodate I will. As always Dexter thanks again for the mentoring man.... This is soooooo much smoother then my last 2 month veg that I binned hahah.

**hotshot** · 23-10-15, 08:27 AM

Skunky, I can't see any pictures on my screen, just X marks. Looks fabilish in the other thread though.

**PeytonManning** · 23-10-15, 02:43 PM

Damn, took me forever to find this journal lol. But I'm subbed up now, and looks like just in time

**Skunky n funky** · 23-10-15, 05:08 PM

Welcome Peyton. A little experiment to see if this is how I want to continue my grows.

**PeytonManning** · 23-10-15, 05:12 PM

It's a nice way to grow, yields are pretty damn good too. I'll try another mainline next year for sure. I'll stick with the 8 cola though, shorter veg time and all

**Skunky n funky** · 24-10-15, 12:53 AM

I'm excited to see how she turns out......... its a nitro lemon haze so should give me some good weight.

**Skunky n funky** · 25-10-15, 02:50 AM

So Dexter what should I be doing at this point. Do u want the new tops split or anything done at this point besides water??
