Let's talk flowering techniques considering they a few days short from flower switch 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

MH bulb for First two weeks of early bloom apparently meant to minimize stretching and internodal space?

Has anyone had success with shock ripening in late bloom?

what are your guys flowering techniques? 

 

[Pi2 301]

My is 12/12 on HPS. Freezing water on the end (2 weeks)but I'm "dirty" grower..Don't know tricks 4  hydro.

How long did you veg that monster??? 6-9 months veg time ?

 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

4 months months veg time : grow room temp humidity and water temp dialed in.

foliar feed once a month

sitting in 100L barrels. 2 inch pipes circulating water.

thanks for your interest. 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Managed to almost fill 2 meters from two plants will let you know the flowering result hopefully will pull .9 per a watt.

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Has anyone had success with using MH for last week of flowering as bloom finisher?

response appreciated

thanking you

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Just adding to the previous post

metal halide as a bloom finisher should be the spectrum of 10000 kelvins will add to shock ripening and stacks on the trichomes in last week of flowering.

4months veg?

Id go with lst. I top but your doing sog/scrog.

squeezee and bend to avoid long intervals of internodes on all branchs. If you new too techniques just google them. tgey really work. specially pinching. pinching will make the branchs thick aswell as the bud.

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

4 months from seed started 1st February - doing single plant scrogs. 2X SCROG 2x trees.

if you look at the stem structure I'm sure you can see all techniques used : pinching, topping, once Scrogged stripped away what doesn't reach the light.

but are you speaking about pinching in bloom?

What stage do you pinch in bloom? 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Used the metal halide for first two weeks of 12/12 have now switched to HPS. 

Measured on the largest stretch branch 2inchs internodal space. 

does anyone have tips regarding bud development?

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Not much feed back for a growers platform. Guys we never stop learning so let's interact and exchange knowledge. Every one deserves a chance - you never know whose reading your information and hat they learn from it.

never the less,  has any one had success with , molasses in rdwc? Very tricky but if some one has had success let's talk about your mixture and your Mixing process

Wassup man, good to see flowering rocking on those 2 ladies!

for myself i have been using the MH for a long time the entire flowering with an CFL of 3k spectrum next to it to add a bit of reddish. I cant complain about it it has always done good to me and my buds were really nice, it does seems to produce a little bit less taste on the plant tho for some reason, maybe just the heat or lack of something, but at that time i didnt have anyway to compare side by side. the best is to be able to mix spectrum if you have 2 lamps, and go on a more violet spectrum on the end of flow around 10k like you say with some UV if you can is the best otherwise i would stick with the hps. 

 

As far as tricks for bud development i have to say beside having a healthy plant there is no trick! when i reach week 5 6 i try to clean a bit most of the fan leaves to keep only some lolipops on the branches, not so much for bud development but more to avoid mold and optimize air movment around the buds. If you have a really good air system it is not even necessary but something i like to do ^^

 

Have a good grow!

Thank you for your response Dust.

here is an update after the transitional stretch:

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

end of week 3 flowering : 

 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Branches have shot through the canopy, took a fair amount of training and a fair amount of mastery.

it is illegal here in South Africa, but in jhb too many people are held down under the long arm of poverty. But I do this to give them a chance allowing them a better life to support their families 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Fed some sea kelp seeing results and it's only 3days later will post end of week to give a feed back - I'm very sure it will be positive 

BW

[RIX 26]

I pinch and bend aswell as flush then full feed them once a week ish. 

Pinching and bending gives mad growth to lower arms. 

do ghs flowering youtube guide starve/flush then full nutes once a week from 2nd week of flower. might fk up leaf a bit but the amount of growth is noticable.

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

15ml sea kelp per 100l + powder feed = definitely made a difference in 1week. 5 more weeks left let's nurture and hope for the best.

Things are coming along nicely in the garden of Eden - thought is post an update if anyone needs some knowledge with hydro hit me up.

2plants filling just over 2m squared

BW

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Another update - nearly ready for harvest - been a long grow but hoping the well veg developed tress will add to the potency of the fruit.

2plant grow over 2meters squared 

Bless all the growers

Thinking about banging out a sativa Dominate hydro for thc4 (the euphoric real high feel) any advice from sativa masters on growing sativa for calyx swell and trichomb production? 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Realized I've only been posting of the one plant meanwhile I have another lady in the room not 100% sativa but the hybrid is taking a lot longer than the cheese I have - how much longer do you guys think? 

[BREAD_W1NNR 55]

Some close ups and a full garden shot.

Growers and master growers will appreciate and know the dedication to get the garden into this form.

anything is possible with patience

if greenhouse seeds has a job for a grower in their 20s experienced in soil and Rdwc fly me out to dam
