Hi all, first post so here's my story, just got back into growing after 2-3. I read nebula's manifolding tutorial and I thought it was really intersting and decided to give it a try. So I germinated 1 old seed I had (nirvana royal flush) while I ordered some jock horrors, so now I have 1 royal flush that is 1-2 weeks ahead of the jock horror. I may not keep the royal flush as I have limited height so I'll see how things go. So basically in the pic, the two on the right are the jock horror on which I followed nebulas tutorial. My main question is : now that I have the 8 shoots that should become my 8 colas, how should I manage things, should I LST them so that I have, for example, 3 colas in the center and the rest spead out towards the exterior or should I just simply manage the height of each of the colas so that they are even?

Forgot to mention that I'm in 2x4 tent with 600w MH/HPS, growing in soil

Beautiful plants!! I have never used the manifold technique so I won't give advice. But looks like they are well on their way to a potential great harvest.
 
Hey wallnut, welcome to the forum. You want the colas to be evenly spaced apart. This ensures good air flow and light saturation. The further apart, the better, within reason of course.
 
Looks really nice,that's just picture perfect. Welcome to the forum from what I see you will be a asset to us all . As for the first seed keep it going you can always raise up the other two to keep even.

Yeah the one on the left (royal flush) seems more sativaish then the others, I noticed the internode spacing was a lot more. I'm basically keeping it and praticing various techniques on it, that way if I mess it up it wont be as bad... One thing is that only have 5 foot high tent so I have to keep that in mind. I think if they double in size when I flower I'll be good but if they tripple... I may have problems...
 
No Title

a view from the top, what im wondering is should i keep a few colas in the center of the plant? also at what point do i stop bending branches to let them go up, when i reach the edge of the pot?
