I'm getting close to the end of training. The branches are nearing the end of the pot, so I'm running out of room to stake lol. Almost all the inner branches are staked down as well. I left a few unstaked because staking them would make for too many branches in one area. Leaves start piling on top of each other and mold and all that jazz.

Thanks Canuck! I thought about doing that, but I decided against it. I may revisit it in the future though!
Thanks ATU! Yours are looking really good too!

That is a good looking quadline you have there! I'll try to post how mine are doing after I get home from work tonight. I realized I haven't posted in a minute lol.

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while. I would love to say its because I've been busy, but I've just been lazy lol.
The main takeaway from this thread was to show the process of how I make a quadline. The last post I made was really the last part of shaping the plant to quadline so I guess I covered it, but I wanted to keep everyone updated as to how these plants turn out.
Today is day 50 for both of them, and they are quite different from each other.
The Bubba Cheese must be mainly sativa because she is the tallest plant I have ever grown. The branches are long and the buds are small with nodes extremely spaced out. I'm not expecting great things from her, but we shall see how she turns out.
The White Widow CBD is looking very healthy, and pretty close to the ideal quadline in terms of shape and stature.
I did a defoliation session on both of them today, and for the first time I tried my hand at lollipopping. I've never taken off more than 3 budsites probably, but I could just tell that a lot of the undergrowth on the Bubba Cheese wasn't going to amount to anything.
I will continue to update in this thread so people can see how they turn out in the end.
Have a great day everyone!

Hey everyone! Just throwing in an update here on how the plants are doing. The buds are stacking quite nicely. I do have a few brown spots on some leaves here and there.
This is because an in-law came to stay at our place for longer than I anticipated, and I ended up going around 2 1/2 days without watering. Other than that, the plants are looking really good!
For myself, the quadline process was wrapped up a while ago, and I've just been watering since then and watching them grow.
Here's the pics, today is day 63. I plan to do some defoliating sometime today as they are getting a little bit bushy lol.

Remember that depending on your light penetration, light can be used by 6+ leaves. Use a light meter for optimal defoliation.

I started to try your quadlining on this Gelato I got the 1st nodes and such off and did the 2nd node last night, and will do the 3rd tonight and top it. I have 2 Strawberry Banana's that will be next. I have a Jack Herer Auto growing as well, but am very hesitant to HST an Auto. From reading lots, I had come to the conclusion not to do anything other than LST to the Jack. But reading the results here, i wonder should I dare?

Weed Pharma Not sure how missed this question way back when lol. I normally take the big leaves off, and try to get any that are blocking bud sites. Once the plant reaches a certain stage into flower (probably a week after the stretch is done), I don't defoliate as much.
In previous grows, I was a more aggressive defoliator, but I've cut back a bit lately.

PhantomSulker that's a great start on the gelato! I have almost always used HST since I have been growing, and I've never grown a photoperiod plant. This is my 7th grow, and I've found out that you can do just about anything to an auto. Good genetics is a factor, but I feel autos have come a long way from when they first came out (not that I was a grower back then, but from what I have heard they were pretty bad to begin with).
So...yes...I would dare lol ðŸ‘

Well, then maybe on the 2nd Jack Herer Auto I will do more to her. I can clearly see how fast the Auto is growing compared to Photo's. I planted the 2nd Jack yesterday. The Strawberry Banana has 3 shoots coming out of her so I am doing 3 stems on them.

Hey everyone, just throwing an update on how the girls are doing.
The Bubba Cheese has a few brown spots on the leaves still, but looks healthy overall. This was the one that ended up being trilined because I broke a main stem. I trained the 2 lower branches away from the top one so they could all get more space to grow. As you can see in the pic of the trunks, the stems all started creeping towards the light, so the branches are all growing in the same direction now lol. They are powerful things, these plants lol.
The White Widow CBD is looking good. She has one really good sized cola, and a lot of little ones lol. It is okay though because she will serve her purpose in a pill form. I'll be following nebula Haze's tutorial for that.
Today is day 75 for the both of them and they will be ready in a few weeks. The Bubba Kush in the pic is at day 105. I imagine they will all be done around the same time. The younger 2 are much farther along than the bubba was at that point.
Have a great day everyone, and feel free to post pics of your plants that you have started quadlining!
