Lollipopping before flowering?

I will give you a million dollars if you can do it 3 weeks! But dont count yourself rich yet… “Once you have eight main branches, the mainline structure is complete. The plants are usually about four to six weeks old and entering the late vegetation stage.” This is for synthetic growth and I’m growing organically!

No one gives a shit about mainlining. Grow a healthy plant to harvest and then give it a shot if you want to try something different.

You got nothing to lose and some immature buds to gain. Go for it. Should've planned for a quicker veg, but shit happens.

A couple of years ago I chopped a plant 30 days in because it threw a few bananas. Dried to about 30g of surprisingly good bud. I was quite happy to vape it. Especially because I had nothing else

Here's a Sunset Sherbert chopped at 38 days due to nanners. Wife loves the early shit. My regular shit kicks her ass. This plant was sexually mature though, since it was a clone only cut.

I've always viewed mainlining as a waste of time but a picture speaks volumes.

5 weeks of playing bonzai master for a dwarf plant seems pointless

Pay up..........3 weeks from sprout.

You means this is not how it works??

So what is your point? How does this help you? If you think growing organic is fast you're in for a learning experience.

The point is that that @Bukvičák said he can do my 8 weeks of growth in 3 weeks. LOL

‘That is not true … flowering estimates are guides only. Whether from their own breeder testing or ( more likely ) marketing hype to keep seed purchasing open. Just like feed schedules from nute makers - they are guides only also .

That’s why I look at grow diaries ! 8 - 9 weeks for my strain : https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/royal-queen-seeds/green-crack-punch/diaries

SMH

so you are basing your grow - your skill on somebody else’s grow ? And whatever RQS pasted on seed description?

In all honesty your pics are very deceiving because they do look like 3 week old plants. My 8 week mainlined plants look considerably different.

Dude, stop comparing my mainline with your plant !! I want 8 main colas and not what you are doing …. Do you understand the difference ???

If you're in a hole, stop digging!

Nice try! But I don’t see a 8 mainline.

Neoliet said:

When I check the grow diary’s for this strain, Green crack punch, they count the first week of flowering when they flip the switch… And it takes then 8-9 weeks till harvest. Why should it take longer for my plants? Actually I have veg them even longer, 8 weeks, so I would think they are more matured..

I thinking about to flush / starve them 1 week earlier, and want to start giving them PK boost 1 week earlier, to gain some time.

Click to expand...

Vegging them longer doesn't make them more mature and reduce flowering time.

You've stressed them an amazing amount, which is why they look so tiny. Probably stressed from both your mainlining attempt and other new grower mistakes.

PK boost isn't going to gain you any time. Like the previous point that's not how that works either, that was what I was talking about. A healthy and bountiful plant can be grown easily with just base nutrients.

Flushing is a fool's errand. It doesn't provide any benefit.

You're the one that doesn't know the difference..........your plants are not mainlined my friend.
This is mainlining..........at 6 weeks.
