Was doing some tinkering since I seen some preflower signs. I often see ppl ask about this so here is a pic of a female preflower I have in veg. I will try to find a male later. It's clear by the 2 hairs protruding from the calyx this is a female.

Excuse the quality it's taken through a $10 60x loupe from Amazon and my phone lol.

Ok interesting note I was holding off of. I transplanted 2 days ago. I watered in my 3.5g per 5gal of mpk at that time.

2days later I'm showing preflowers. I was thinking I wonder if the pk had something to do with it... Nah to soon so I wasn't gonna say anything. Bit it was bugging me so I messaged @Dirtbag and asked him if he seen preflowers so quickly after adding pk in veg at the risk of looking foolish lol. Well I'm sure he had a bit of a chuckle then linked me a post on his thread from April.. within 3 days preflowers were popping. Let's just say I'm glad I took the time to send the mag and appreciate his response and advice. I am convinced the added PK has triggered the preflowers. I have never seen them come on so fast but I'm sold on the fact we should be adding our pk a week before flip not after. I have a feeling bud onset will follow this and be very fast. Time will tell.

Cheers man, give them the 24-36hrs dark at flip and I'd bet you'll have flowers forming in 5 days. This shit's no joke lol.

The biggest buds I ever grew were on plants I re-vegged after sexing. After 3 - 4 days I found the males and put the fems back in veg. Over the next week or two small buds developed and trident leaves were growing with them. After 3 weeks I returned them to the flower room, their bud development had continued through the 3 more weeks in veg then exploded stacking buds on buds once on 12/12 again. I did that to sex plants but I'm thinking now I should try that again off clones I know are fems.

Have you ever seen that with plants or done that to them? accidentally or on purpose?

Similar to monster cropping sounds like. I used to take my clones from plants that were 3-5 days into 12/12, when they rooted they did the weird 1-3 fingered leaves for a while and grow super gnarly and branchy as hell. And yeah they flower like crazy. I ultimately stopped doing it though since I found the branchiness to be difficult to keep organized and pruning was a nightmare.

I like to take my cuttings off the same day I flip when I'm moving them around but I'm seeing you're now giving them a pk boost prior to flipping to improve bud development. I'm not sure how that would effect the cloning. I'd have to cut them off a week earlier if I try that pk boost you guys are doing. No problem, I just have to train the brain to remember all this stuff.

I had my obligatory 4:20 and I'm finding it hard to hit the right keys with my fat fingers lol

Nope I haven't. Always been to cautious to avoid it. But this opens more questions than answers. Just got done a massage and have some work to do but hope some more discussion on this later.

They seem to be picking up since transplant.. no shock and probably more like relief.

All showing preflowers but not all determinable.

3 female BFT
2 female HBMC

confirmed.

No males confirmed but suspicious on 2.

Should be able to tell by Friday when I flip.

I'm removing all the offshoots up to the growing tip leaving the last 3 because they are small. Leaving the fan leaves but removing the ones growing into the middle of the plant for airflow as needed. I have also removed the bottom 2 fans from most of the branches. How much will depend on the plant.

Here is what I mean. Before and after at each node leaving only the 3 newest nodes untouched. Some only 2 depends on the plant.

Before

After


I stole the tip from @Dirtbag he strips right to the tip. But with small plants I'm testing this out for the first time
