Yup no prob. I’m just passing on the info that Mac posted someplace else.
@garrigan62, I see what you’ve done there, and although that is not exactly mainlining – and you could have left a lot more of the fan leaves on while still training the stems in the same way, which would’ve lead to faster recovery and continued growth – it is a form of training and this will still produce a number of healthy tops to fill your screen with, and in the long run you will probably be happy with your results. You’ll learn more as you go.
With “manifold/mainlining” the idea is you do alloy for some vertical growth as well, you do not necessarily lay the branches down as horizontally as you did. The way it is done, is that the first time you top, you get a sort of ‘Y’ growing. You let those become your two main tops, as if each was its own single cola growing from the top of a untrained plant. Over time you underschuck everything on the main stem/trunk below this ‘Y’, then eventually you would top the tops geting two new sets of 'Y’s for a very symmetrical four tops “manifold/mainlining” from the original main stem/trunk. You’ll get it quickly enough. The nuggbuckets tutorial is really about the clearest description I’ve seen.
Thank you Stoner for your input. Yup i sure mest them up. But they are comming back nicely. Lots of new growth everywhere. Live and learn as they say.
I went to that web site and I can see where I went wrong. I am going to change things up. I have a new tent on the way 59x59sx60 this tent will be for vegging only the oter large one will be for flower. This way I can veg as long as need without interfering with flowering. But ya as I move along Ill get better at this.

Hang in there will , you’ll get it , not knowing is not knowing ?
To be honest i did lose 6 or 7 clones, but that’s 0k. I have plenty of extra’s.
But you sure can tell which ones are the strongest.
So I’ll be ok… I’ll post pic’s later
P.S…Thanks Yoshi

Honestly thank you garrigan , it’s been a great experience , besides my character got assassinated unknowingly , but it’s water under bridge . But once you add that to your process , it will multiply times 2-3 once you perfect it .
