good afternoon beautiful people,

I'm growing in my first dwc. just one plant for now. but I was thinking of mainlining but I don't know if its the best way to go about it. I also plan on trying to screen of green the plant and try and fill up my tent with just one plant. should I just top at 5 or try something new like mainlining?
 
I reckon it depends on how important the harvest is to you. If you need it to be as much as possible, then maybe stick with what you already are comfortable with, and if you don't - have fun trying something new.

thank you and right now I just trying to learn as much as I can so ill probably end up mainlining.
 
How about quadlining?
 
maniline or manifold is cool but it takes time topping and training to build the frame out, same for quadline or hexline. (Number of limbs… manifold = 2, quad = 4, hex is 6) The fastest way is to tie them over with lst and zero topping since topping takes time out for plant recovery where straight up lst punches many other forms of training right in the throat. Low stress for a reason = foot in turbo no recovery time needed

The Quadsquad Thread: A Community For Quadlining

As quadlining has become bigger and bigger on these forums I have seen that anyone interested in it has been able to receive the help they need on their own journals. Recently I have decided that it would be really fun to have a quadlining thread where people can come together and share their...

Well I have done a couple other grows and Ive tried topping and tying down so I was mainly just wanting to learn more and new forms of training. Also it does slow the plant down but I feel like In turn it gives out a more symmetry and makes an even canopy without having to weave to much or more than I would want when I put the trellis. But it might be easier to just tie down and lst bc I’m in a dwc.

Sure, Capn Butter!

whatever you decide…… training is fun as crap to play with but 1 topping is about all for me. I gots to get on with da program.

But yeah doing manifold is a great project for sure, I bet you’ll enjoy the challenge!!!

mark me down for YES you should do the mainline

Haha thank you. I’ll put you down in the books as a supporter
 
I mainlined this little Gorilla Glue which turned out nicely but I'd say it took longer to achieve that than a quadline. Be cool to see whichever you decide on though.

Wow! Very beautiful plant. How did it smoke? I may do a main line just because I want to test the waters and if it goes well next grow I might try a quad and a six.

I might try pinching the stems in late veg to slow down the faster growing colas but I don’t think I want to try to many new things this grow just because my last grow I tried to do to many things and I also was being impatient so I ended up stunting her really bad and the bud just ended up being a waste.
 
Will it be a photoperiod plant? Autos will need to be approached differently.

Absolutely agree I really only lst and always have 8-10 main colas. Here is a girl scout cookie extreme auto harvest this morning. It's short but bushy due to limited headroom. All from lst
