Manifolding

I use all leds as well and to be honest 110 watts from wall is a bit low. You need more light. I started with some weaker lights like that in the beginning and experienced similar growth. Look up the light and check ppfd. That's real important with these leds.

The three I use
All kind.
L300 actual draw 220w
K5 xl750 actual 430w
X2 CGL actual 750w
 
Tent is at a fair 74 degrees lights on daytime mostly. 8 degree warmer outside of tent. Led is not hot at all I have to run a/c in apartment to keep the 72-74 stable inside the tent. I also water with nutes once a day but in coco I dont see that as a problem right now. the light is at 18" maybe I should move it higher? will the plant actually seek the light to get closer or will it suffer not having enough?

Im also investing in a light in a day or two that will put out 390 actual watts then i can push for 500 using both lights
 
Above all make sure there is a ppfd chart that shows the amounts of light given. Dont trust there coverage specs they all try to show the veg coverage only as the plant doesn't need as much light then as when flowering.
 
I have not attempted it fully yet myself i get close but not a good manifolder yet. I don't know why it's feels like i'm skinning a rabbit? I got jittery and quit LOL but i will get over the hump. You guys are so good with these things.
 
I'm trying manifold for the first time to. These girls are 5 weeks old from seeds transplanted once I just top dressed them with flower nutes meaning I'm one week from switching to flower. The last picture is one that doesn't want to grow up (mutant) it has never been topped but has multiple 11 finger leaves her nodes are so close together they touch I'm starting to think the branches are going to grow around then above her main you can see them around the sides. I have 2 blurples think 230w together and a sf2000 205w all actual draw. I keep my lights at about 30 inches until I get the second multi fingered leaves then I stay around 25 inches until the switch to flower I let the girls grow to the lights until they're around 16 inches away where they stay until harvest. Last harvest from 7 plants I got think it was 25.9 ounces I'd have to look at my grow sheet to be sure if not it's 26 something hopefully I'll better that this time with manifold definitely beat the one before at under 10 that's before the sf2000

EDIT = Sorry I think I ended up with 6 plants by the end last time, I lost one that hermied

You guys got this my 2nd grow in 2018 i basically just jumped to manifold even tho i only had 1 grow under my belt and was super new to growing any type of plant and i noticed a great improvement my best manifold i have done got me about 175 grams per plant and i had 2 so i was set for awhile.
 
One time on my manifold i was bending one side of the main stem and it snapped only hanging on by its outer skin but i used electrical tape to hold it in place while it healed and it healed right up and still had a great harvest just a thought next time you break something you might be able to fix it if you get to it in time. was googling mad posts to see if i could save it and was reading alot of posts about people saving alot worse.
 
Yep I totally understand that feeling!! Though now I've been through it once I expect it to feel a little less weird next time!
 
a guess, you will increase your harvest each grow as you learn from any mistakes you make like most of us are still doing. My yield grows each time when I started I counted grams now I count ounces hopefully one day I'll count pounds haha....
 
Quick pic update, here are my girls approaching week 3 of 12/12. I'm pleasantly surprised with how quickly they are coming on. Canopy lost a little evenness in the stretch but I'm still pleased.

Lookin good.... they're at the point where I like to start serious defoliation but that's a preference thing and is pretty controversial subject
 
Heres my half ass, uneducated, illprepared manifolding. They both are growing like crazy. They very rarely pout after cutting. Not pretty but should still function correctly.

I did a bit last night but ran out of time. They're due a drink today but will get a more thorough chopping soon. I need to lollipop them a bit.
