Fridge Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hi everyone, this season I'll grow some clones besides plants grown from seed. I always mainlined my photoperiod plants from seed so far. I know it's a bit different to train clones that way. I'll follow nugbuckets technic but maybe one of you guys has some additional advise? Or should I just follow the instructions in the link below? https://www.growweedeasy.com/main-line-clones-nugbuckets Thanks for any input! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 So recently I also started training my clones. You get soft plant bending wire from hydroponic.co.za. I tie it aroud the stem and bend the branch how I want to. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can definitely mainline clones, although it won't be as symmetrical as a plant grown from seed because clones would stagger their nodes as they are not the main stem of the plant. You'll notice on a normal, untrained cannabis plant that the nodes on the main stem are symmetrical and the nodes on the branches are staggered. So I rate you just gotta choose the top two nodes, of which one will be lower than the other, and just train them to grow level at the canopy. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Awesome thanks @Ill_Evan, I guess it's just a bit more training then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Thanks @SkunkPharm, for some reason I overlooked your post. It seems like I don't always receive notifications anymore. Anyone else with that problem? At what stage do you take wire the off? I always just tied the branches down and left them tied down till harvest. Maybe I should go with the wires this run.

I agree...At the OPYou could still do it, it will just take a bit more effort... Go with Nebula Haze's method if you want to shave a week off the veg period...Here's a link to my Nebula Mainline;https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/harvested-nirvana-blue-dream-indoor-grow-nebulas-manifold.1548198/Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 @TheUltimateNoob, thanks I really appreciate your input. I have plenty of time to train my ladies and enjoy the process. Going to check out your link now :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 That was an awesome read @TheUltimateNoob. Quite a lot of information. And that plant of yours filled the tent quite nicely. I think I'll document my process too. This below are four mainlined plants from seed just after the went into flower. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Documenting your grow really helps as its easy to figure out what you did differently if something goes wrong.
