Holy cow those stems are looking very nice. are these old or recent?
is that a coco medium?
and also is there a difference from lst and mainlining?
Thank you very much.

Mainlining is a kind of training technique using successive topping and LST at the same time. You keep topping and making two branches from each topped area until you have the amount of tops you want. I went for 32 but all my branches FIM'd and I got 2-4 extra branches per topping.

It is peat, coco, pumice, and perlite. Roots Organic Formula 707.

These pics were taken a few hours ago.

Very interesting, this is my first run where im using the FIM tech on my girls.
Do you have any trouble with weak small heads after you fim'd ?
some of the stems on my smaller ones seem really weak and puny.

happy 420 everyone I'm having some issues with my Scrog set up.
I'm running 12 5gals under my 1150, when I go to put my 5.5x6 net I can see it's pretty crowded.
I need some advance should I lower the number of pots? or should I have made my net bigger?
Some details they are almost 1.6 months old, in side coco/perlite
I have done some training on them but not too hard.
Thank you for any input!

I think your going to need not just nets over them, but some type of semi permanent frame to hold the nets and keep your rows to have walking space between them. I like pvc pipe frames. You can tie plants back to them so they dont crowd your pathways. Or you can crawl. I hate crawling.
Also i think your right when youre thinking about adding a light and/or cutting down on pot numbers. Hell, if you could, you could always just take two or three plants out, top every top, and keep them as mothers if you dont have those yet. Anyway. Its lookin good. Very nice potential there and so far so good on the pruneing. The flower is when hou have to do the real plant manipulation to pull better harvests.

Thanks for the very helpful repy!
and thats exactly what im using! pvc framing and ill probably hate crawling too =/
So for the flower ill have to train them extra harder?

6-8 oz! Nice yield mind I if ask about your set up?
and how many plants you run per light?
I do all LED in soil seven gallon dirt pots. I do three to four plants per 1000 watts. My soil is roots organic greenfields and original mixed with pro mix bx. I'm running vegamatrix starting this run and mammoth p is ran every run.

I think you will need more lights and you should of had the netting already on them. I put the netting on as soon as the plant is 6 inch above the pot and start training them strait away. These ones are under one 1150watts gavita pre plant
