I won't be mainlining anymore, yield was smaller , it's cute and shows you can grow , but scrog and or lst has yielded me much higher harvest weight

I have 4 heavyweight goldmine plants I just switched to flower. I mainlined one of them so I’m curious to see how it turns out. All the others I topped twice as I usually do.

Sure, that would work. All depends on how big you train them to be. I move mine around the best I can in my 2.5sq ft grow box.

Well I was thinking g13 haze in 4 25l soil pots n train them to a tomato cage as said in beginning of the thread this will be my 1st time doing and chopping while they grow this seems a easy one to do and maintain as it's all done pretty early it's just tying down and a hair cut as the grow lol

I found the mainlining tutorial on another site, I tried the mainline with just 8 cola and it worked great - so I found my way here.
Next grow I tried leaving one extra node about midway up each branch on the top - one facing the right direction already, but about 3 or 4 nodes down from the main cola. Each of these produced a decent top and 2-4 dense nugs.
I did this on all but 2 (snipped for clones) just to see the difference. Once it was dried and stems removed, the 2 without an extra node weighed about the same as both the cola and the extra node on a different limb. So basically, it didn't matter, each limb produced about the same regardless. Then I got on here and on the first page or two it said an 8 cola plant and a 32 cola plant produced generally the same weight - when you consider the extra week(s) that went into the extra toppings and recoveries.
I though about that, and realized that in the interest of flipping quicker I wanted to try something a little different. On this grow I got my 8 main stems stretched out, but then just snipped shoots on the bottoms, topped a few, and am just using each limb as an experiment. It is already a week into flip. But slow veged under a 135 for 60 days while I was waiting on a harvest.
Here's what I have going on. Superskunk from ILGM. and its the "Superskunk Manifold" grow journal on here. https://www.rollitup.org/t/superskunk-manifold.982650/
A couple of tricks I devised might help. First, if it hasn't come up yet, when you do the main 'snip' starting out, laying a small pinch of flattened out grafting wax over the nub will help keep it from splitting, drying out, rotting, etc.
And the best thing I thought of yet (stoners have the best ideas, when they can remember them
) is to put eyelets or grommets in the edge of the pot. I also use the "expensive" rubber coated wire just to make hooks to protect the plant, but since it's harder to make adjustments on it I use the el-cheapo 'roll-o-twisties' for the actual work.

Check out my idea. A mainline to get it started and "distribute the nutes" evenly, but then fill it in. Like a scrog without a net.
https://www.rollitup.org/t/superskunk-manifold.982650/
I was also thinking about letting just 8 cola run in veg until they are tall enough to scrog, then super-cropping each limb out like spokes on a wheel and tying it down to the net.
