I don't want to go, I feel like im going on now but the aforementioned pheno hunting tips get brought together with 12-12 from seed to veg/sex and 11-13 to flower, that brings the whole pheno hunting business to a new level of efficiency i didn't think was doable for a mere mortal
When you get going and the gears are all meshing 6 maybe 7 crops a year from seeds is doable (with wiggle room lol) if you've a separate drying space?
You might be thinking nah not from seed and that's fair but there's some considerations to, well consider lol
From 12-12 @wk4 they're already sexed there's no transition time, then changing to 11-13 speeds up the onset into flowering therefore crops finish quicker, between the time gained at 0 transition and with 11-13hrs it brings down flowering on average to 7/8 wks (fully matured!)
Plus you already have your next crop to go in and keep monster clones on ice!
Pheno hunting isn't about yeild so I opted for two plants per pot.
my thinking was a clone and a tester is all I need, holy moly was in for a surprise
Basically nothing changed except 100% more plants, this normally wouldn't be ideal but 11-13 encourages shorter more compact plants so they make better neighbours.
I've Flowered circa 60 plants in my last 3 crops that's more than in the 2yrs previously growing in the regular way, not surprisingly I've landed more good phenos since starting this technique, I'm racing through my seed collection.
