Dank's Three Strain Grow LST CFLs In Soil

[danklover79]

Very nice DP, good info about the monster cropped plant, I wondered about the revert back to veg. The PP is the only fem, except the AK X that was marked fem?, so my friend didn't know for sure if that cross was fem, so it's why i was thinking I might have to flip back. Now those pics have me thinking if I shouldn't use this technique, sounds very effective to me.

id say the easiest option is the clone method, take a clone when you have buds formed and just use one of the lower branches and you will then have a monster cropped plant when its back in veg.

now ive not had any problems with doing a reveg of a plant after harvest, all mine reveg just fine, but 3 members on here have given it ago and all 3 plants died and never went back into veg, all i do is harvest the plant and leave a few lower buds on it, just 2 or 3 is all thats needed and then i put it under veg and 3 weeks later its back in veg, so far all mine have lived to grow again.

ive not tried putting a plant into flower then into veg without harvesting it first, but this method should produce the same results as taking a clone during flower then putting that back in veg, but the only downside is you have 3 weeks before the plant goes back into veg so them 3 weeks you lose as the plant does nothing at all and wont be back in veg till week 3 of the veg schedule.

so id say if you want to experiment with this method then go down the clone option, removing some lower buds helps the plant produce bigger buds up top, plus you can then see how the plant flowers and how nice the buds are, then you can either keep the clone or kill it if your not happy with the results, but if you put a plant into flower and let it start flowering then put it back in veg you wont know the end results until its back in flower and harvested, so personally for my first try id go down the clone route,

that way you can flower the plants when your ready and you wont be pushing the harvest back any longer than you want, 3 weeks is a lont time to add onto the grow so you will lose 3 weeks just putting the plant back in veg, so using clones week 1 the clone grows roots, then 2 weeks later its back in veg and growing well.

its quicker than planting another seed using the clone method.

also all plants will show sex under a veg schedule, now mine usually show sex around week 6 of growth under 18-6 or 17-7, if you use 24-0 for veg then plants take much longer to show sex and ive had strains that dont show sex at all under 24-0.

i like to make sure my plants are mature before i put them into flower as this cuts down on the stretch period, if you flip 12-12 before the plants mature then the stretch period is longer as the plant has to mature before it starts flowering, so if the plant is fully mature when you flip 12-12 then plants can start flowering as little as 1 week after 12-12, plants not mature will easily have 21days or more of stretch before they start flowering.

but at the end of the day its your choice, if you go 12-12 then want to flip back to veg then the plants need to be far enough in flower for it to turn out monster cropped, so id go with the clone method, you could take a clone from each plant then reveg them then once you have sampled the buds you can decide which clones you want to keep or not keep depending on the results.

im pretty confident your friend is right about the fem seeds. if the method used was the rodiliation method which im sure it was then they should be femenised seeds, this does not mean a male wont grow from the seeds but highly unlikely, so far ive not had any males grow out of my own fem seeds,

the only time ive had a male grow from a fem seed was when i purchased a jack flash for herbies, it turned out male so let him know it wasnt souvineer quality and he replaced it with 2 jack flash fem seeds the next time i placed an order, just about to harvest the one in the next day or 2 then if the quality is their ill keep the clone and give it a longer veg time

Gosh, it's fun popping around to other threads. I just learned a ton of great information! DP, you're awesome....as usual.
Hi Dank!

 

[danklover79]

Hi yourself Canna, and yes DP is definitely my boy, and very active and informative on this site. I really need to build me a small box to clone in, or whatever I feel like doing with it at the time. We're moving soon, though I can't say exactly when yet, but I'll let everyone know when i do. Going to a spot with a higher elevation, and a more favorable political climate, than the area I now have come to truly loathe, and in which I so unfortunately still reside. Really looking forward to it, I just love the mountains, grew up rock climbing, and hiking, and any other outdoor activity you can think of!

very informative I'm taking notes

 

[danklover79]

Definitely glad to have DP along, he really is a truly good grower, and a good guy as well, I've learned a lot from him for sure. I just chopped the DWC girl a bit ago, I posted it in the other journal, but I'll post pics here as well. Looks like I'll only end up with about 1/8 from her, but I succeeded at my first DWC experiment, and that was the main goal. I also learned that I won't be buying more of those seeds, very weak genetics imo, just hope she smokes well.

 

[KiefTreeFarms]

So glad I stopped by today and didn't miss this. The one I re-vegged must have been me, so I will give that another go. I'm happy with my yields but would always love a bit more for my efforts. Thanks DP and congrats on the dwc success dank.

 

[g-one-three]

So glad I checked in today, I had always been under the re-veg equals hermie assumption, but man I may have to give a re-veg clone a try. Love the info.

 

[bluefly43]

Between DP and KJC I have enough info that I had to move my files to my base computer. I have a lot more from other members also but Kudos to these two for all they contribute to this site.

@Dank congrats on your DWC grow, I'm sure this one will go nicely for you also...once you get yourself sorted out on what you want to do

 

[Skybound]

the hermie trait comes when flowering is extended too long. Reveg is the same thing, but the lights are timed differently.

 

[donpaul.p]

great news the dwc made it to harvest, any plans on giving it another go,

the only hermie plants ive had are hermies i made go hermie and from seeds i have purchased, ive never had a reveg go hermie, i guess its possible if you didnt put the plant back into veg, so say you went from 12-12 to 18-6 for 2 weeks then back to flower then i can see that this would make a plant hermie, but from my own experience as long as its back in veg then their is no issues when it flowers, the only difference i do notice is that it takes a bit longer to flower, not much longer but i think this is more to do with the amount of growth the plant has than the reveg process.

reveg plants are more work but i do one each grow or reveg a clone and the results are always worth it,

 

[danklover79]

I actually do plan to do DWC again, a single plant scrog setup, already bought net pots, and a tote for a res. I need a bigger pump, and a larger airstone, but not planning to do that grow until next spring maybe. I think i can pull 1/2 a pound off a plant in that setup, with hps, or an LED panel in a tent. I should be in a bigger place by then, so I'll have more space to grow in, and possibly some breeding.

 

[donpaul.p]

im sure you can hit them targets, dwc certainly grows much quicker than soil grown plants, so hitting them yields will be quicker then soil grown plants, im tempted to flip to a big dwc set up and give up on the soil, but im getting great results this time round and soil grown plants are so much easier and can be left to do their thing,

so really not sure what method to go with, i like the speed of dwc but like the ease of soil, ph is not as critical in soil,

 

[danklover79]

I'm smoking my second bowl of the DWC popcorn buds right now, and it's pretty smooth, even finishes smooth. It hasn't cured yet, but I just dried the popcorn for 2 days, then cut it all up into a pile and left it on the table. It dries pretty quick this way, and is not bad, but I'll leave the top bud hanging, and properly cure it.

 

[donpaul.p]

i do something similar to quick dry buds, i hang most of my buds and let them dry aas usual but if im out of bud ill remove all the bud from the stems and put it in a shoe box, then once or twice a day ill give the box a gentle shake and the bud dries pretty quick that way,

with the buds i hand i sometimes cut a slit in the branch and find that this can help it dry out a bit quicker, just depends how quick i need the bud

 

[danklover79]

I put all the lower growth in the trim pile, so there's some popcorn in the trim that I plan to make BHO with. Gonna make an extractor tube from pvc, until i can afford a proper kit. I smoked it for the first time not long ago, and it was like getting really stoned for the first time, and it lingers as well, really strong stuff. Just gotta make sure you get all the butane out of it, and it's pretty smooth too, it's really more like vaping than smoking.

 

[donpaul.p]

ive seen a few vids of that method, not something ive tried but i always got lots of trim lying around, ill be paying the postage in my magic butter machine this week so should have that in a week or 2 then ill run some trim and bud through that, ive got a sweet tooth so ill be making some cakes and cookies,

oh, you are making me sooooo envious. I want my cannabutter so bad!
Let us know how you like that Canna Butter machine for sure DP!

 

[Light Addict]

Hey Dank good weed sir! Dpaul I rang and paid my order for Magical butter yesterday got my tracking number today so should be here sat or monday. 40 quid and change. Ill have to wait till big Gertt is done to make any butter though

 

[danklover79]

I hadn't planned on an update today, but I have a new baby! The GDP X Purple Cheese broke the soil early this morning, and it's under the light, and looking nice and happy. It sprouted with a nice green stem, no purple at all, and no seed shell stuck to the baby. I also picked up some goodies at the head shop, for the oils, but I'll show you that in a minute, here's the new baby.

Here's the AK X, which is doing very well.

Finally the Purple Paralysis.

Now for the goodies, I bought a vape pen, with the dome tank, so I can have something to use for bho, or other oils. The whole setup was about $35, so not too bad.
