Thanks buddy!! She's sparkling man..all of these girls just melted my heart with their yum factors!
@West Hippie is cloning always and forever he is my guru for all things cannabis but @Tkmk is absolutely killing it and his lady @Mrstkmk. In addition, we may want to ask @Regrowth or @Stunger? Anyone have some info for my friend here on cloning? @7Dust2 drop your question or lmk what page it's on in your journal and I'll copy it over here
This @Mars Hydro FC4800 !!!! It is insane the buds it produces!! My grows have went to the moon since October being with them! I can't rave about it enough! Between that and @Prescription Blend nutes, it's the 2 for all! Add in these genetics from @Weed Seeds Express and bam! The trio of all trios!
Hah feel you

Hey G! Thanks buddy. How is everything? I have to get over and check on your newest grow!
One of my favorite things to do...Hah feel you
I think I have found pics I am not good with-dark flash shots! Idk maybe I'm not doing it right but I tried...
Drought Day #3
Happy Thursday! Sending out the grow love!
Highya Krissi,
Love the lights on drought pics! So, do you drought them, then harvest? I've seen StoneOtter do this, but didn't seem as much trichome increase as you have. I'm impressed. It seems that growing cannabis is a super-talent. your skills are getting more interesting! Happy Smokin'

Thank you!! I've got much to learn!
Well Bode, I couldn't drought them after harvest
Just kidding! I know what you mean, at least I think I do!
You should be droughting at week 7. A longer flowering strain you could do week 8. Honestly the study was a great study but the only one, so all of the droughting we are doing is based off of that 1 study, what we have heard from others and know about droughting in vegetable crops along with a lot of trial and error, seeing what works, what works best and what doesn't work.
It's different for all mediums as the study was done in soil. So I can tell you it is a controlled drought for up to 11 days. We pick the weeks we do to drought because that is when the GRN (genetic regulatory network) in the plants starts telling them to crank up and finish off. But in their head, they just think there are seeds in the flower that are getting ready so they do everything they can to protect them.
OK so basically...
In a drought, when we drought, the GRN sends these "O fuck" signals out to all the protein receptors in the plant.
Different proteins are responsible for different things. ABA, absicic acid, is the main component or driving factor in a drought. It is this protein that tells the plant to increase resin and trichome production. During this time, all those other proteins that are responsible for things like THC CBD also amp up.
The only thing the plant cares about it saving the seeds they think are in the flower. So that GRN system tells the plant to take care of the flower and screw the leaves. That is why you would use a LWA (leaf wilt angle) to measure the extent of the drought. The leaves are what will tell us primarily, when the plant has had enough.
Now, with all that science said, I have droughted a bunch now-every plant since Ammy basically back in October. I have found that not all plants show the distress in the leaves, some show it in the flower. I have found that what works best for droughters is to get fed and spend a few days back under the light for maximum effectiveness rather than just drought to harvest directly. Idk they like turn back on into overdrive just taking in everything like they are afraid to lose it again and they go ham in those final few days.
Very nice explanation, Thank You! I've heard other things like that to stress out the ladies. My ladies do fine (in my opinion), so I don't mess with them, other than a little topping, and removing the lower larf. In the garden, I can't set up tents to drought them, so I accept them as they are. But you have a way with them to increase potency, and that works for you. Just trying for a way to up my game, that's all. Happy Smokin'

No problem. Of course there are tons of ways to stress them
@Maritimer will tell you though he learned first on a reservation in the 80s. The Indians just covered the fields up with a tarp when it rained. He asked them why they did it and they said "stronger medicine".
Do you snap your branches to increase resin?
No, I don't. I've always tried to treat the plants as good as possible. I understand the stress principle, but I choose not to do that. I'm still trying to keep branches from breaking off, lol. I did discover the best way (for me) to grow, and that's with diy microbes. I'm really impressed with those results. Happy Smokin'

I need to try my own DIY stuff soon. I'd like to in my garden as well @Pat Puffer gave me a great concoction I am really excited to implement this spring!
My friends, Limelight just got a trich check and she has not only gotten oodles more overnight but also oodles more have turned amber.
I mean I would like to keep her some more but here's the current scoop on our lady belle
I think half of my heart is breaking and I'm also thinking I really need to get Ammy Jr trimmed tonight...
@Mars Hydro I think I'm going to cry
I feel your pain. 
So much to do and only so much time to get it done.
Then in 3 months you be saying “damn she smokes nice”! And you find yourself doing it all again.

Highya Krissi,
She looks so fat! Real nice!! Soon, Aphrodite and Puddin' will be the big bold ladies, then your heart won't ache for awhile! So, did you harvest Limelight? Based on the trich pics, I would have. But everyone is different! Happy Smokin'
