haha, funny u should suggest.
last watering (nearly a week  ) was just water.
this one, was BigBloom n SuperThrive, plus gave em 1 more sprayin w the FX Max.
looks like it could turn into 12 colas if they fill in right. 
i think i let em get a lil too cool, now i cut back on cool air flow.
really gettin crystally early, i keep goin to my other log to compare the stages, mother to daughters.
1st attempt, 1st post.
1st attempt, 1st post.

The second set of plants look much happier than the first. Thank god I've taught you SOMETHING LOL!!!!  I have a feeling all that topping you did will add some time to your blooming....but the hps will work the other way. Wonder which one will win....

Lol.....did you ever read one of my threads about the time I supercropped the living shit out of one of my sets of plants? I REALLY screwed them up but I went WAY more crazy than you did.
I think balancing nutes and watering will see you through. I thought I read somewhere that people usually add nutes every third watering (to prevent buildup in the soil) but I'm not positive SO DONT RUN OFF AND DO IT unless you've heard that elsewhere.....like from somebody who knows. |

In other words if you cropped say at week 2 for example then week 3 is wasted time as the plant need to recover and spend time and energy on recovery rather then new aged growth and moving forward. so you can't really count the recovery time as part if the true veg cycle time.
And super cropping you cropped more then once most time or you cut it way to close. You have an older root system and a younger structure system so yes give it plenty of drainage and room for the roots to grow out even more. That is one of the major setbacks in doing cropping.

I may have to go out and buy some sort of "Owner Off" type spray for them to keep me from picking on them so much. Should I keep them on the flowering nutes? Somebody mentioned using Budswel and ph'd water. What is your knowledgable thought on that? |
and mad rep for you passin on great info |

Also Rock.....topping one bud isn't supercropping but lets say you went and topped all the TOPS before you turned them and ended up with about 20 budsites or something...THAT i'd call supercropping.

gotcha on the supercroppin.
well, i clipped the clones twice, but they split funny, well, cause they were clones, not perfectly symetrical anyways.
the comrades i figure twice also, depending how they respond.
Zandors infor on recovery time and figuring that into the grow cycle is an eye opener.
here's something else to consider,
i also pruned Betty often, like to open up below for better light.
this may be another reason she took so long.
also as youve said previously, the possiblitiy that a sativa or strong sativa mix may be more sensitive to everything u do.
these and betty all being the same thai, its possible that she just doesnt like being fussed over
we'll see what happens next. |

oh, hey, lets bring up an old, yet related topic.
the selfing.
i been givin it some thought while watching them develop.
and remember, i Reversed em.
here's my thought.
I cannot see doing that to one of these, itll get to both, and ill be littered w beans. i dont really want that. 
what if i clone the stronger of the 2 and re-veg?
i'd be willing to dedicate that one to selfing.
or, does going "clone, of a clone", degrade the strain.
it almost sounds immoral
i think we may need ur pal Rhiz the botanical wizard  |

Ive just never grown sativas Rock and cant say but I thought reaper said something along the same line as well....that the sativas seem much more sensitive to stress and then Rhizome seemed to think that the lighting was holding Betty back too. I would have thought 900 light bulbs would have done it no matter WHAT kind they were.
Thanks Gundari. |
