Before and After
Exploring plant training techniques, this time it's Manifolding with an early Flip. At Flip, looking downover her, she didn't even cover all the dirt on the bucket with her leaves. But she filled out nicely, a testament to manifolding.
"Manifolding adds time" - it does if you wait until the Manifold tries to re-bush like your other control plants, the Manifold plants will never be as large or bushy during veg, but that is okay, cause when you flip, all that "drive" goes strait into stacking tall colas, and literally nothing else. It does gain leaves like usual but just to power big thick buds. It is a bud building technique, and doesn't have to cost any extra time.
-In fact, Manifolding SAVES TIME, well at least during trimming haha
Im not a big proponent of this technique, because it's too easy to do harm or time it wrong, but I can definitely attest and support the idea of creating larger colas, less waste, easier trimming, and 'prettier' grows. Im glad to have grown comparison, less trained plants too, side by side, to provide a good idea about things.
