It may be prudent to allow the plant to recover or grow long enough for a few days before tying the shoots down.
This trains the plant shoots to grow horizontally to create the manifold. Once the emerging branches are strong enough, gently tie them down to create a 90-degree angle. The plant can now quickly and evenly direct all energy and nutrients to the buds. This will strip the plant bare of all other energy intake means, leaving the plant with a bare main stem and the two branches of the third node. Next, we need to restrict the plant’s energy production into the 2 branches of the third node that will form the ‘manifold’s main structure.’ Remove all vegetation from below the third node.
Now you will have one main stem and 2 branches directly across from each other. Remove the top growth for cloning later or disposal. Stalk splitting damages the plant and may introduce disease. This will prevent the stalk from splitting later on. Using a sharp and sterile pair of scissors or gardening cutters, clip the main stem above the 3 rd node with a clean, straight across cut.īe sure to leave at least 5 centimeters of space between your cut and the lateral branches. Once you have grown the base plant, it is time to top the plant.

Learn how to protect your cannabis seedlings and what nutrients they need during their most fragile stage of growth. Never start mainlining a cannabis plant that has already begun flowering. You can start after this point however, you’ll waste time and energy the longer you wait. Waiting until at least 5-6 nodes have developed ensures the plant is hardy enough to begin topping and to provide good air circulation of the cannabis plant. This spot is where the leaf or branch separates from the main stem. Nodes grow directly across from each other. Once the seedling has developed 5-6 nodes, mainlining can begin. Seedlings, not clones, are the best this technique, so make sure you start with high-quality seeds. To mainline marijuana plants, it is recommended that you have a seedling plant, sterilized scissor or plant shears, and soft plant ties. This is not the goal when fluxing cannabis. In manifolding, the intent is for all colas to grow to the same size. While manifolding cannabis creates symmetry that promotes even distribution of growth, energy, and nutrients, cannabis fluxing is used to ‘fill in’ small or oddly shaped spaces. However, there is a small but important difference between these two techniques. Still, others indicate that mainlining refers to the growing technique, while the manifold is the actual structure that growers intend to create with the process.įluxing is another term that is often used interchangeably with manifolding. Others explain that manifolds are topped two times, while mainlines are topped three times.
