Dan's Strain Hunt, Your Experience Is Valuable To Me...

dan1989 · Aug 10, 2017

Hello farmers,

I'm looking for suggestions for a strain that has a high stretch rate when placed into flower. My idea is to flower straight from rooted clones and eliminate the veg stage altogether. I would like to think I could still achieve 3-4 ft plants with this method. Any info or experience you may have with this method is very welcome. Speed is of the essence in my upcoming plans and this is the best way I can think of to accomplish this. Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to say I will be giving the clones a couple of weeks to settle in so you could say I'm not eliminating the veg stage altogether, but minimising it as much as possible...

a thousand times, Reserva privada sour diesel, gorgeous flavor, stretches a lot but if you can wait a couple extra weeks the buds really pack on the yield. If they still exist grab a pack you will definitely find a keeper

well, I for one think you're dreaming, no offense. If you want a four footer, I think you have to grow a two footer first.

All of my forum cut crosses are grown how you described. Make sure you're using fabric pots or hydro as that makes a huge difference in final plant and bud size. Fabric pots create much larger plants. The plant i have the most history with on that is granola funk from bodhi, but i have a couple other forum cut crosses that are similar. It's a very durbanesque style bud structure with large clusters that look sort of like a single flower at each point. I'm having trouble finding a picture but it's the forum cut structure seen here that I'm talking about that i find excels at exactly what you're asking for. My granola funk cut can be cut as early as 52 days but is ripe in 57, the fastest cut i currently grow now that I'm thinking about it.

Look up shroomking on ig he was doing this with ghost train haze

dan1989 · Aug 11, 2017

So it can be done, correct?

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...

why are u thinking the taller the plant more bud u going to get if any think u need to look for something with a super ez rooter and stress res from shock from going from cut root flower

and u said u going to give it some time to recover a couple weeks that might as well be veg 1 week to root 2-3 weeks for recover so u at a month right there

I grew the moonshine ghost train haze a bunch. It's a 12 weeker but worth it in so many ways. Very sativa stretch.

It seems like going straight to flower is not going to give your roots time to grow enough to feed a budding 4 footer. But I'm an old outdoor guy, you guys indoor continue to amaze me, lol.

I really dont think you should be aming for a certin height you should focus on fast flowering yeilders for this set up. a few years back i would run 100 plants in 1 gal pots under 2 600s vegged for 2 weeks then flip the only set back is maneuvering the jungle amd keeping up with watering i would flood the tables then shop vac the excess off

If I had the patience to do that I would probably do as you said and basically cram lots of little plants into my tent, but to be honest, I prefer fewer plants as I'm still an amateur and controlling that many would be a little overwhelming for me I think...

Hello stranger :) actually tind my objective is to keep the plants small. I'm sure I'll have to do a few runs to gauge the right veg time, yield is of course important to me. There seems to be growers who support this method.

You speak as if growing outdoor is a step down from indoor. If we had the weather here in UK, I could grow outside just fine and not have to worry about all this minimal veg time stuff :D

dan1989 · Aug 11, 2017

I'm getting some good info here guys, keep it coming. All input helps!

dan1989 · Aug 11, 2017

I should have mentioned I'm looking to grow in COCO here. That would have helped lol

True true. I'm hoping that using a 600w LED alongside my 600w HPS will create more internodes, offsetting hopefully the shorter size. I've heard LEDs help that

So what would you do to minimise the veg time?
