Staggering branches

[brider]

is this normal.....they are from old beans f

rom about ten years ago....

 

[FredDaHead]

seeds from 10 years ago........im surprised they are growing

mj seeds tend to have a shelf life of around 2 years

Damn, u got 10 yr old seed to germ? Typically plants from seed grow symmetrically until the photoperiod is changed to 12/12. At least this is what I've read.

 

[brider]

yea i soaked them in tap water for about 36 hours.....they were kept in a grizzle dip can for all thoes years......

 

[brider]

I had about 200 hundred beans and around 50 or so sunk to the bottom of the cup......so i put them in the soil and waited to see what happen.

 

[brider]

out of the fifty beans i planted about half came up........after about 30 or so days i put them under the flowering lights and ended up with 15 females.......all of them have staggering branches.........the plants seem to be mostly sativa........i would say 60/40 leaning towards the sativa side

 

[brider]

i have grown my share of beans and i have never seen this so dominate in a plant.

Everything looks normal so far. Are you flowering or still vegging.? Many people will love to read you are using 10 year old seeds, giving hope to all with over due seed collections!! I'm chewing Grizzly Right now. What a goof!

 

[brider]

im about 3 weeks into flowering

 

[brider]

the beans came from old brick weed

 

[brider]

...... about 3 weeks into flower

If ur in flower then staggered branching is normal from flowering plants from seed.

I know i've read on this site that when growing from a seed stagered branches in veg. means its mature and ready to go into flower stage

Who and where? Shoot a link. If u'd like regurgitated info from some respected literature to back what I'm sayin I'd be more that happy to provide it. I don't know everything ,but I am familiar with my literary resources. Ultimately the proof is in the pudding.

Flower time

Wow... 10 yrs... nice... life never stops amazing me. I wonder how the strain is? Be sure to upates us when you try it.

The staggering leaves are normal and are actually considered a sign of plant maturity. Some people choose this time to move their plants into the bloom cycle by changing the light cycle to a shorter one.

Cheers

My citation to back my claim in this thread on staggered branching

Flower time

I read that and can't say that the individual was right or wrong, however I'm more inclined to go with a trusted published growers handbook. Its not called the bible for nothin. There are a few things in there that don't work for me (that I have tried, so this is not the only way.). I trust a known author's words over a member unless the member can show me exactly where the info came from and I can verify their credentials and track record. I often ask the question "how do their peers respect their opinion"? The people's who's advice I try to adhere to are consider authorities in this industry by many. with that said this is what I was referring to>

 "Phyllotaxy changes when a seedling enters the flowering stage." ([I]Marijuana Horticulture: the indoor/outdoor Medcal Grower's Bible [/I] by Jorge Cervantes 62) "Growth patterns and chemistry change during flowering..." (Cervantes 62).

He is so on point I read that Ed Rosenthal tired to sue Cervantes for plagiarism or something along those lines on 13 occasions if I'm not mistaken. So yea I trust both of their advice. I have a book co-penned by Ed from the 70s that's how long this dude's been around.
