update....looking good, just waiting for them to blast off....."8 heads" left..."16 heads" right......her ring is taller, and bigger diameter wise, cause we will grow her a bit taller to accomodate all 16 heads....

Lovin it, my friend! A technique so deserving! I must try my hand at it! +rep for the inspiration.

EDIT: I realized my picture was the wrong one and my camera still doesn't work... Well, on the right hand side of that picture are all my volunteers for main-lining!

EDITEDIT: Hope you don't mind me dropping the pics! This is much more recent:View attachment 2140050

1 of my 4 main leaders seems to be lagging behind a little bit. the 2 branches (to form 2 of the 8) are about 1 inch shorter than than the same branches on the other 3 leads, making them 4 inches long instead of 5.

you can easily use some light super-cropping to even them up.......of course it is easier when you have one tall one, instead of three....but a little pinch and bend won't hurt any.

.....so i have done some calendar work, and have come to the conclusion that this process adds an average of only 10 days to the total veg time.........it is easy to think that it would be more....but the calender don't lie!

....i average 48 days veg, and if i flip on the third of May for "8-heads", the total veg comes in at 58 days....not bad........

....now the 16 headed mama needs a bit longer, but she will be grown by herself in the greenie, so i want her a bit bigger than the average indo plant.

.....mrs. "8 heads" is going into the flower room on the 1st.......she is just starting to hit on all cylinders.......grew 1 1/2 in. over-night........this tells me that her energy is shifting from roots, to foliage, and is almost ready to flip........she is 2 inches above the ring.....killer structure, i have high hopes for this one!

total veg time.....46 days!

so, to compare.....my TGA girls in my other thread vegged for 47 days....no topping, and spiraled around the pots.......

and my bonzai's in this thread were vegged for 45..............crazy shit.........my theory on why this doesn't add much time is this......by prunning away everything but the shoots you want to grow, all the plants energy is directed precisely where we want it, and no energy is wasted on growing unneeded foliage......amazing plant.

so i thought i would take a smart pot comparison pic......so we can see what all my girls in different stages look next to each other.....Ace in a 7 going into flower in a few days, Vortex in a 5 vegged 47 days @ 22 days flower, and a bonzai in a 5 @ 38 days flower......they are all bomb as hell! enjoy
