It never did grow higher than 4 foot but every branch is turning to budMine did the same things. I started my plants early, but cloudy days in June caused some early blooming. Each bloom became a few branches on some plants. My hope is that it will give me more tops.
gratz on your first grow and my THC Bomb plant is short as well and maybe has 8 tops but has tri-clones starting at the lowest fullage of the plant to the topMine aren't tall, but they sure do have a lot of tops that look like they will fill in. My girl scouts are filling in nicely, but they aren't big around. The sweet Afghan delicious didn't bud early . Instead, was laid over, and it has fewer bigger tops. It's not very tall, either. That could be pilot error, though. It's my first grow.
With your shorter plants that alternated grow cycles was the quality in their buds worth the time and effort ?About 25 years ago when I was a gorilla grower in Florida I would plant my batches under small scrub Oaks. The shade from the scrub Oaks would initiate flowering early allowing me to pull the males. Then I would cut down the scrub Oak and allow the full sun to hit the plants. The plants would go back into vegetative stage until the natural flowering season started . Sometimes I would get short plants because of this . And then the scrub oak wood become camouflage for anybody walking up on my patches.
Sure why wouldn't it be ?? plants would be mature to flip to flower even light dep plants need to be mature before it would flip ..With your shorter plants that alternated grow cycles was the quality in their buds worth the time and effort ?
Absolutely.With your shorter plants that alternated grow cycles was the quality in their buds worth the time and effort ?
Yeah; it seams that way my favorite tree right now is my smallest one; showing best signs of potency. I agreee.Absolutely.
The majority of what I grew back then were sativa dominant hybrid of some sort. Usually the shorter ones were indica dominant, and a heavier type of high for us. Sometimes we would think that the short ones were a little better. Peace
I noticed your clone starts and it looks like you use 1 bud ? is that better then 2 or 3 along the stem?monster cropped green house grow View attachment 631867 View attachment 631868 View attachment 631873
Especially in a state like Fla., yes.With your shorter plants that alternated grow cycles was the quality in their buds worth the time and effort ?
They look like they're going to flower out pretty nicely even so.These are the ones that tried to bud early, then slipped back into veg. The Girl Scout Cookie on the far right was a late clone (mid July), but it did the same thing.
here's some pictures on it's progress-- doing great!I've never even heard of monster cropping haha. In my experience, depending on how long you've revegged the plant, there are all sorts of differences in growth which I personally don't find beneficial. Here's my experience with about a month of reveg. First, you get lots of dead brown calyxes, which can not only increase your chances of budrot, but it just lowers the overall bag appeal and smoke quality. They are the calyxes that form during the first time you flower. You'll see them on the bottoms of your trimmed buds and also when you break buds apart. Second, the shrubby new growth can be really leafy, which cause the plant to feed differently, often times leading to premature yellowing from the increased nitrogen demand. and third, on stretchy strains like sour diesel, every node stretches to the top. If you don't spend extra time pruning, you get loads more larf. These are my experiences, and I hope your experience turns out much better than mine. I'm actually running some accidentally 'monstercropped' deadhead og in my greenhouse, so I'm also curious to see your progress
