...and after:

This was the final big pruning for my mainline grow, from here I'll just let the 8 tops grow upwards a bit and then flip to flower.

Looking great!

Apologies if you've addressed this elsewhere but what's the motivation for mainlining? Are you experimenting or chasing something in particular?

OP may have their personal motivations, but from what I’ve seen from journals and posts it’s usually down to the symmetry, the beauty and the method itself.

You’re not going to get a high yield, but damn will those be 8 gorgeous thick dense colas. I’m excited to see their progress on this myself.

When someone says “tops” instead of “mids” this is one method of how you achieve those top shelf craft cannabis buds.

Just for the experience really, I'd read about the technique and it seemed like it might be a good fit for my tiny 2x2x4 so I'm giving it a go 🤷‍♂️

That's awesome. Has it more or less gone how you've expected so far or have there been surprises?

After I made the second cuts I realized I wasn’t going to get the circular crown shape I had in mind, other than that it’s all going as expected I think.

Looks great! That light is adorable lmfao how many watts is it?

[–] LeanFemurs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It’s supposedly only 100W equivalent, I should upgrade it but I don’t want to turn that tent into an oven.
