Oh! This grow is current! When I hit the end, I thought you had abandoned it (found thread by google: White Widow Mainline, research for my upcoming grow)!

Subbed. Hope the early training works out for you!

Nice Yankee, Google ups, haha. What I was trying for the Cataracts as there`s not much at all. I`ll be awaiting the next update brother. Puff, puff, pass ---> my first batch of Blueberry Burmese I bred with a friend :joint:

Glad to have you along for the ride! Yes, it is a current grow so you are just in time.

Thanks EC, appreciate your support. If it turns out half as good as your recent cross run I'll be happy!

Yeah KC, almost famous ;)! Don't know if you've seen my other grow journal but I've got a couple of Mandala strains that I am documenting (see sig) since a search months ago turned up very little for me. Mmmmmm...blueberries - enjoy man!

Mother took a nap today so I was able to spend some time with my other girls today. Decided to upcan this girl from a 1gal to a 3gal pot in preparation for the move to flowering this week. I am working with a new organic soilless mix so there may be some drama waiting in the wings - if anyone wants details let me know and I'll post the recipe.

Here is the rootball after freeing her from the 1 gal pot:

Now with some stretching room in a 3gal pot, top dressed with some black gold:

Top view. The eight new tops are coming in and she should be ready for flower by the end of the week.

You`re not going 16 with that strain Yankee!? She`s a stretchy girl as I`ve seen (EC could vouch better I`m sure), you could easily top again by the sounds before flower or just into, wouldn`t affect you one bit ... :D

She could definitely spend some more time in veg as the flower room will be tight for a few more weeks so training for sixteen is certainly an option.

This girl is a cross of White Widow and Big Bud. I think EC is running a cross of Norther Lights and Blueberry - or were you referring to a different grow of his?

I had forgotten this was WWxBigBud, they actually have similar growth traits though. You wouldn`t evn need to veg longer, they grow like crazy for the first couple weeks of flower and I feel it`s safe to train and prune up to week 3 personally. If you have the space in flower, she`ll get a good size already with how you trained her :). Nice job again mate, thanks for correcting me :)

Thanks for the guidance KC, you've got me on the fence. I think if I do expand beyond eight mains I will leave her in veg for a while longer to bulk up, expand her root system and make more room in flower.

Hey yankee. I seen you on KC's thread, sorry I haven't checked you out sooner. Looks like my timing is pretty good though. Subbed and let the show begin.

Hey Stone, welcome to the thread. Pull up a chair and join in as actively as you wish! Haven't decided yet if I am going to put her into flower this week with eight heads or run her out to 16. Things are a little tight in my flower room right now so I'm leaning toward going another round of training before moving her into prime-time. Should be fun either way!

It has been 4 weeks since the initial topping on this mainline experiment. All of the stems up to the current eight heads have hardened, but I am going to leave the anchors on the four main branches for now. The eight new heads have a few more days to go before training down but I think this girl is ready to go to flower!

.....but.....

I have decided to experiment a bit more and do one more round of topping and training. As I mentioned in a previous post my flower room is pretty full right now due to a miscalculation in timing and there is no sense forcing another plant in when I can benefit from spending more time on this mainlining project. My guess is that training to a 16 headed monster will take another 10-14 days of veg time and I will probably upcan again to a 5gal pot to give the root system ample space to support her top.

Thanks for your support and I hope you guys stick around for the move to prime time!

I woke up early this morning and decided that today was the day to move Wanda up to a 5 gal pot and do the next round of topping and training. She is responding very well so far and I am chomping at the bit to get her into flower but I will probably wait about a week or so to allow the new tops time to grow out and establish some solid growth.

Wanda in her new pot:
