Show off your mainlining, manifolding, or other training!

I’m in flower on my first grow and thinking about what I want to do differently next time. One of the things I want to do is more intentional training, possibly mainlining.

Please share photos of your mainlining or other training that you’re proud of. I am thinking the equivalent of the bud shots thread, but for training. It’s an art, show it off!

There’s a great on-line ‘resource’ called GrowWeedEasy, I hung out there before I discovered Overgrow was back up and running.
The site has a crazy number of hyperlinked tutorials. If you haven’t seen it, pack a lunch, it’s a big ‘bunny hole’… :wink: :smile:

I did the mainlining first and then the manifolding, mostly so I could understand the difference. Now I do sort of a ‘free style’ based on the plant’s responses.

I still go back there occasionally to check up on what’s new.

Cheers

Yes! I’ve seen that site, and will spend more time there I’m sure between now and actually implementing anything. I added manifolding to the topic, I forgot the word for it and knew I was missing one!

Let’s see if @MissinBissin see’s this? He sent me a cool pic a few months back…

That looks great! I think I really enjoy the symmetry, this is part of why I said it’s art. And everyone has their own hook/tie-down system, container size/etc. Thank you for kicking off the photos!

That looks great too! I continue to be impressed at how much it all fills in when just bent over. Looks like it filled your space really nicely.

Yeah, I can appreciate it when somebody puts in the work to make it so symmetrical! My own efforts are dealing with so many plants that I can’t possibly keep up on them all, but getting a good underlying structure going early really helps, even if they get out of control as they grow.

I just tried out a "Bro Science’ experiment of reversing Yo-yo’s to hold branches down (had a bucketful going to waste). Feels like I’d need to modify the yoyo’s to have less tension if I wanted to do this regularly, snapped a few branches in the process.

Tried a Screen 'o Green as well…

If I only had a couple plants this might fine, but as it is, it’s far too time consuming every day!

I like that you’re continuing to experiment! I feel like your yo-yos trial might work if you could set a maximum retraction point. Like “don’t let it go past here, but don’t keep it under extra tension”, tying something onto it, or looping it around a zip tie or who knows. :thinking:

It looks like I could just cut the metal spring little shorter and it would back off the tension…will have to find time to test it. Your idea would work too, but I want it to be as few ‘moving parts’ as possible so that I really do it! Once it becomes complicated I tend to find excuses to put it off.

This is pretty simple, and serves the same purpose.
Zoom in on my pictures in the above post.
