budtoker,

The answer I got on this for my issue with clones is I have alternating branches opposite each node. I was inform to use LST in addition with supercropping to slow down the growth of the leading branch to allow the one(s) behind to catch up in uniformity for that symmetrical shape. So I am bending the lead branches while extending the LST horizontal growth and even when colas are growing vertical to the till the final topping suppercrop the taller ones to let the shorter one until they meet before topping again.

At least that is how I understood it. *Disclaimer my current grow is only my second attempt at it on 4 clones at a time.

You bend the top node branch and the main stem over until it is at the same height as the lower node branch. Now you have two symmetric branches and the process is the same as a symmetrical seed plant.

couple pics of mine 5 days 12/12 i have missed the principle of mainlining and these are like manlined for 4 the lst!

so 1st 2 pics afghan kush
2nd 2 pics blue rhino
3rd 2 pics caramel ice
4th 2 pics critical 47
and last 4 pics of them together and temp and humidity of room

 

[bassman999]

They look healthy and uniform Budolskie.
Is that a humidifier I see to keep humidity up?

I just bought one for my veggers and they made a huge turn around in vigor and health in just a week.
I went from 20-25%RH to 40% +at all times

Its a bionare air thing that uses a filter it just circulates the air more it was only cheap in cash converters ive just took the humidufier out as they in flower now, I dont need it in the 3x3 under cfl just in tent under mh for them couple weeks

 

[budolskie]

Its an air purifier £20 I payed for it second hand

 

[bassman999]

I was asking as you mentioned your humidity and I saw in in there.
I did think it looked more like a purifier.

Ok I'm pretty sure im understanding what you mean but I am having a hard time making sense of this part lol

Budtoker0987,


The post after mine buy Mochican gives the best detail

• You bend the top node branch and the main stem over until it is at the same height as the lower node branch. Now you have two symmetric branches and the process is the same as a symmetrical seed plant.​

Before.........................................and After LST and Main-Lining, I think I let it go to long on the stem, maybe 1 before?



please comment if you have an opinion, thanks

So this pic i have here, ur saying actually bend the stalk over so the point at when they are equal in height? bend like put a crease bend in in it? how SIGNIFICANT you think would be if i just left it? They do look PRETTY close i guess

Thanks fellas

 

[Mohican]

Looks good - just train them like they were symmetrical

This is the post where Nugs shows how it is done:

as mo suggested would be your best bet, you can also remove the plant from the pebbs and bury it again but on an angle, like a slant, so that the smaller node is on top.

the now smaller node will grow straight up and the bigger node will bend round the top and in a few days they will both me perfectly level....

Welcome, mainlining is great, I voted for a new name Twerking!
