Ive actually read about that in a couple of different places, and they do say that the yield increase can be up to like 25% - which is well worth giving it a shot for sure, lol. I just wouldnt wanna fuck it up, and ruin a crop because i couldnt get the timing right on the schedule. All my timers are automatic, not digital, but getting a digi timer just for something like this sounds worth looking in to. Maybe do like a 2-3 plant run with some high yielding strain to see what the difference is. YOU should spearhead this idea WM, lol, i mean, you've grown some fuckin BEASTY ass bushes out of your WW n BB plants, maybe if you did the same strains, only with the different schedule, you could be the definitive proof that it works, considering that you;ve pretty much pushed your 400 to its limits as far as yield goes. If it works man u have my word that ill follow suit n give it a try. Im headed up to the moon tomorrow to pick up a couple odds n ends to finish my cloner anyways, so maybe ill pick up a digi timer too.

So i ordered my EZ clone replacement sprayers, a 500gph pump, neoprene collars, n 2" netpots (ima cut the bottoms off of the net pots, n just use the tops kinda as a way to just secure the collars in case my holes are too big. Thatll make sure that no water leaks through, cuz my pump is so powerful that them sprayers are gonna be pumpin out some serious water pressure, lol), n im finishing my cloner this weekend. If all goes well, n its easy to build, im gonna buy the parts to make a couple more, n then sell them fuckers on ebay with the title F**K an EZ Cloner!! THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING FOR HALF THE PRICE!!! , n hopefully sell that shit for like $150. a 35 site ez clone replica for 150 bucks aint too shabby, no? that shit could be a 3rd income for my ass for sure, id just sit around on my spare time n make them shits all day long man. Ill let you guyys know how they go, n if they sell, n if they do ill get you guys hip to it too n makin some cash!!

Ok, so while im waiting on my special totes to come so i can make a few of them EZ Clone DIY units (I ordered some discontinued rubbermaid BRUTE totes. 20 gal, and bright fuckin white. Them bitches will look nice as hell once theyre set up, lol), i have a marijuana mini dilemma. Nothin serious, just a question on what i should do.

I just set up my ScrOG net, at about 16" from the lip of my flood trays. Tray B is already almost touching the net, and Tray A is coming along nicely. There are 3 seedlings still tiny as fuck, but other than that i have 8 clones in there already rooted, and beginning to grow out. My Yumboldts all are turning into some nice lookin plants, but they looked like palm trees for a minute, lol, n my BB clones have nice root systems going, and have just started producing fresh leaf matter. The 5 White Dwarf autos will be a decent size by next week, so everything is coming into its own. Now, here is my problem:

I only topped my two The Black's , and one ICE plant. Im a week away from flowering, and now im worried that my yield isnt going to be what it should be, because i didnt top my plants before i start to train them. Every time i've topped my girls, theyve always responded well, and have given me nice fuckin yields, with big ass tops. My question is, since im flowering in a week, would topping them alll right now be hurting my girls, rather than helping things along? i know typically it takes about 2 wks for a topped plant to come back n recover fully, but do you guys think a week is enough? I know once i flower and the stretch starts, that everything will beef up, but i also know that the fatter a stem/branch is during veg, the FATTER its gonna be once i flower. I just wanna be able too get some serious fuckin top nuggets going on. Thats my main goal, other than trying to get at LEAST 1 1/2 lbs from this run.

Everything in Tray B is reaching maturity. All of the plants are showing pre-flowers just about, n some are even showing sex already (and i dont mean my autos, lol), so theyre telling me that its time to flower. So a week is the longest im gonna wait before i switch to 12/12, because come a week from now, the biggest plants will probably be protruding through my net 2-3 inches, and i dont want it to go much farther past that, cuz i only have so much headroom for everything between the net and my light.

So is topping my plants a week before flower a good idea? I need some serious advice here. Ill be taking pics in a few minutes, and ill post some up so you can see how a few plants are developing, and maybe get a better idea of what i should do to them tonight. The plants i topped at the beginning of the week are doing awesome right now, even though the branches havent fully recovered yet, they are huge still (the three plants i topped were fuckin huge to begin with, llol). So i dont frikkin know man. Maybe ill top them, but do like i did with The Black, and top them at like the 4th node up from the bottom, so that way everything from the bottom up will grow out, and give me even more tops to thread through the net.

-Bah, fuck man. Ill hook up some pics tonight.

I say go for it King. Figure you've got a week before you flower, but then its gonna take another 2-3 weeks for the stretch, and that will give them time to recover. Just my opinion, no real science behind it.

K1Ng5p4d3 · #**1444** 05-10-2009, 09:14 PM

yeh thats what i figure too pretty much, lol. I did it.

Ok, so back an hour Later, lol.
I just had to do it man. I ended up counting up 5 nodes from the bottom, and topping each plant that wasnt an auto. I had to man, it was bothering the shit out of me, and i just couldnt let it go. So if everything isnt poking through the net by next week, ill just wait another week, and then if its hell to deal with when everything is flowering, then that'll be my fault too, but itll be one of those problems thats good to have, yaknow? lol.

OK, heres a couple shots of the whole deal from Tray B's perspective:

This is The Black #1. I topped her and her twin last week sometime, along with one ICE plant. They all took it, and recovered all pretty much identically. I dont know what the bad talk about the black is man, so far shes been the easiest plant in the world to grow. When i had a little nute burn problem, they didnt get even LIGHT signs of stress. They just slowed down growing a little bit, while most of the others just crawled to a halt, and started burning up. But once the problem was fixed, and i flushed out the roots, the girls just started growing right back they way they were again. Its impressive to say the least.

N now here's just a couple pics of the grow from Tray A side, so you can check out all the clones n smaller plants down there. I know that flowering in a week would definitely hurt a couple of those plants tthere, so maybe waiting an additional week is going to be beneficial to everything. Im going to need an extra couple weeks anyway towards the end to get everything in order for my SOG grow, so maybe it was meant to be, eh? lol.

-sorry about the cloudy pic, lol. Like i said, i suck when it comes to pictures, but im gettin better

OK, now on to the flowering room.
Everything is flowering out nicely. I thinned out the foliage on Sour P some more, but light just wasn't getting down into the middle of her, so i supercropped her main branches yesterday. I just bent them bastards down until they snapped a little bit, and now they just wanna hang downward. I did this on my last grow with some really lanky WW plants, and it worked out pretty well. only this time around, im propping them back up, ALMOST in the position they were in, but pulled apart a little ass bit more, and then bent back a tad too. this will allow all the buds below the main tops to get nice n big. For 7 plants, i have less buds on these than i did on my last 1/2 lb run with 5 plants, so i need to make every nugget count

Sorry nothing is labeled this time around. Ive been doin a shitload of work around the house, n that mixed with Moms day today, i just had to snap n hope i was getting a different plant than the pic before it. Next update ill pull them apart so you can see how each individual plant is doing, and what they look like standing on their own two feet. As for the flood trays, its kinda hard for me to reach through n under n over the netting to pulll each plant apart so you can see how theyre doin, but ill try to get more n more detailed every time i do a pic set. I hope you enjoyed tthe update, and ill talk to you guys again soon

thanks for tuning in,
-K1.
