Are these getting thedouble scrog?
Great question BoogieMan. . . that is something I am debating on myself!Are these getting thedouble scrog?
Could not of said it better....Man Meeksy, do ya know how long it took for me to read all the recent info on the last couple pages hahaha. You throw so much information out in this thread it lows my mind. Just the info on the purple stems is insane. You desire to share whats in that brain of yours makes you one of a kind my friend. Folks help people out all the time, but the info your posting is basically takin people to school!!!
Thanks fr all ya do brother, oh yeah, those Raskal hunnnies look kill for such a young age
Peace and be well
Ken
Thanks a ton for checking it all out and spending the time to understand everything Medusa! I'm glad you were able to find the thread since I know you were asking about it.Meeks all i can say incredible log your info is superb !!! I will have to read several time to fully understand a Million thanks for sharing all your precious time
I have never done an upside-down cannabis grow. . . or tomato grow for that matter. What I can tell you is that the plant senses which way to grow its above ground structures based on phototropism (grows away from the shade) and the roots grow based on gravitropism (grow downwards). Other than those simple tropisms, my orientation based physiology is very limited. I will keep your question in mind and try to get an answer from a professor when I have the opportunity since I am curious also!Wondering if you have grow MJ upside down ? Have wanted to do this as my tomatoes grown upside down always produce more . Only problem I see is how to get the proper light to them?
Ken has a way with words for sure! Thanks for the support from both of you!Could not of said it better....
Nice, you should give it a shot and see how it goes! I have only see a couple grow logs start on that topic, and I've never seen one finish before.I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND THAT'S A FARMER GROWS ALL VEG'S AND FLOWERS COMMERCIALLY , AFTER ALOT OF RAZZING SHE FINALLY PLANTED AN UPSIDE DOWN IN THE GREENHOUSES ! SHE COULD HARDLY CHOKE OUT THAT IT GREW THE BEST AND MOST, AND FIRST TOMATOES.
i know youre asking meeks but ive done the dark period at the end of flower to increase resin and i didnt see a difference at all.Meeks I was wondering what you thought about the theory of extending the dark hours before harvest? I've heard something about the resin or crystal content benefiting from a long dark period before harvest is there any science behind this that you know of. Thanks Meeks..!
again not speaking for meeks either but in his other thread I asked this and he has a detailed explanation and its no , he does not do it or see a benefit from it but obviously its way more detailed than that....lolMeeks I was wondering what you thought about the theory of extending the dark hours before harvest? I've heard something about the resin or crystal content benefiting from a long dark period before harvest is there any science behind this that you know of. Thanks Meeks..!
Thanks Pura, they look much happier today than they did when I was taking those photos. I am super excited to see what these genetics hold!Looking good bro! Can't wait to see what the ladies can do.
Just did a massive deep clean between crops! I used 1/4" Top Hat Grommets from Botanicare or other companies for $0.70-1.00 each. . . for this reason, the cost of producing PVC manifolds on a large commercial scale may get too high, but on a small home grower scale they are affordable and work perfectly! The holes are drilled into the pvc (can be 1/2" or 3/4" pvc) and then you push the grommets in and the drip line slides right in and makes a snug fit so there are no leaks. I recommend designing your pvc manifold to be as short a run of pipe as possible, to reduce the size pump needed. . . I made a mistake making my manifolds as large as they are.So clean.
Stupid question: how do you make the drip line connection from your pvc? I always end up using the black vinyl stuff from mister landscaper (punch hole, while I assume you drill??), but would prefer the manageability of the hard pipes like your setup. Tight.
Thanks for the positive vibes Rival, I think you're right, they are already perking back up now that I tweaked the irrigation and did a small flush! I will post some pictures at the bottom to show the difference in just 2 days.I think them ladies will be fine. They r gonna produce some fire for sure. Best of luck wit everything, Meeks.
The reason people seem to notice larger or "better" trichomes after an extended night period is simple. When the plant is experiencing a night period, the stomata (plant pores) are closed. This means that the main escape for water out of the plant is blocked and the turgor pressure inside the plant will begin to build as the roots continue to intake water. This increase in turgor pressure is what allows for cell expansion (i.e. growth) and is most likely what is producing the larger trichome size (if there is one) after an extended build up of water pressure in the plant from a longer night than usual.Meeks I was wondering what you thought about the theory of extending the dark hours before harvest? I've heard something about the resin or crystal content benefiting from a long dark period before harvest is there any science behind this that you know of. Thanks Meeks..!
I've done the same and feel the same way! Thanks for offering your experience Big C!i know youre asking meeks but ive done the dark period at the end of flower to increase resin and i didnt see a difference at all.
Thanks for reminding me that I had already talked about this Soser! In my other post, just to do a quick summary, I went over the balance of photosynthesis versus respiration. During the day in ideal environment conditions, your rate of photosynthesis is greater than your rate of respiration, which means you are building carbohydrate/sugar reserves even as you burn some for respiration. Then at night, you have respiration but no photosynthesis without light, which means you are burning carbohydrate/sugar reserves and not putting any back with photosynthesis.again not speaking for meeks either but in his other thread I asked this and he has a detailed explanation and its no , he does not do it or see a benefit from it but obviously its way more detailed than that....lol
Haha, I like that term, I wish there was a degree (piece of fancy paper) I could get on that subject! Thanks for the kind words and obviously your readership!Meeks, you cannacologist! Your threads are just packed full info. I love how you are the local horti prof on this board, and appreciate you take the time to answer everyones question. Amazing brother, keep it up!
What ever works to give you the results you want, I say do it! Check out my answer to JLR if you want my explanation of why you might see the difference in the trichomes, and check my answer to SoSer for why I personally don't practice this technique.I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't chop my plants without a 24-48 dark period. I've tested this many times, and to me, there is a difference in trichs.
