I want to know if Sativa-led strains are suitable for main lining training.

[mingzhu]

Why no one gives advice; what am I doing wrong?

You're doing a good job man, everything is looking very healthy! Looks like you're going to have some nice buds

 

[SoOrbudgal]

No worries mingzhu your plants look great. Keep doing what your doing those buds will fill out and grow into colas. I give my plants a rest from removing leaves or tiny lower branches after 3rd week of flower especially with the auto. The photo plant has more recovery period. Beautiful clean setup. Sit back and enjoy watch the height of light and reaction of the plants. Great going !

Because it’s genetics that determine bud size. All you can do is proper training and give each branch the light and wind exposure it needs. The rest is up the genetics you selected. So it’s not a matter of opinion as much as it is the strain you have selected.

Everything looks great; this is their photo today; from the 30th day of flipping; the photo is a bit unfair! Thanks to all the guys and your opinions!

 

[mingzhu]

This is a plant 30 days later than above; I shortened the vegetable time; the flip has been 8 days; 2 days ago I gave the flower boost; I want to know if it is a woman; thank you again!

Hey Mingzhu - here is a link to my Thai strain after it was harvested. https://forum.growweedeasy.com/filedata/fetch?id=312501. I used Nebulas adapted manifold method, one can see the plant can not be to big from the pics. Acutally it was under 3 ft when harvested. I am not sure if the LED spectrum / 400 w minimized the stretch or the combination of Nebulas manifold and the led but the Thai never reached the predicted grow height.

One note was I had the lights out set to 11.5 hr per day instead of 12 because I could not trust my timer.

Just an observation with the thai strain. Mind you I had the Cotton Candy Kush produce one pheno type that was completely Sativa and when I looked up the strain one of the parents was a haze and that one got pulled for the cats to eat because it was out of control even after manifolding.

cheers

They are rewarding you for your hard work! Keep on keeping on!

I am thinking this is not a woman... just a sac with no pair of white pistils

 

[HappyDaze]

Hi Mingzhu... nice looking plants. My experience with pure Sativas is limited to one Malawi that over grew my scrog net by a half meter, it was an out of control mess that I let veg too long. Your manifolding technique worked great, it will be interesting to see these girls finish.

 

[mingzhu]

The flower of the plant seems to swell rapidly in these two days! This is a photo 24 hours after the photo above!
Thanks again to everyone for reading and advice!

 

[mingzhu]

The tip of the leaf has some mild nutrient burning; do I need to rinse or lower the nutrient level? Who can give me advice! thank! This is the 30th day when plants have white hair!

 

[mingzhu]

Today is the 32nd day after the flip; I took some photos; although I am a bad photographer (this is a bit unfair to the performance of the plant), I still want to put it here; perhaps it can be given some reference; Thanks for all the comments and reading!

 

[mingzhu]

This is some close-up of the trichomes and cola

 

[mingzhu]

I am happy to share my happiness; and I am willing to accept all criticism and corrections; but I feel that not many people are concerned about this article; perhaps I chose the wrong channel!

looking great

Hey mingzhu - I can say the mainlining / manifolding technique work very well. I used the one Nebula offered and it was pretty much all I had to do, other then tie some branches down. However there was one pheno type from the Kush that was all Sativa in the characteristics and that includes 11 finger leaves but it was to spread out and hogging to much room in the tent. She was pulled and given to my little pride for there greens. With that being said it appears some plants respond more favorable to main lining / manifolding then others and some just want to grow all over the place.

The only downside I see is the time it takes for the plant to recover no big deal but a lot of wasted time if she turns out to be a male...
