For sure. I just meant they definitely keep plants short but there is a trade off. Lack of terps and potency and buds look fake.
True, but not the case with Florel... The finished product using Florel is nothing at all like paclo and others in that category... They look normal, 100% free of toxins and the buds look identical and carry the same terps, potency as they would normally grown. Honestly, I've used florel before many of times and I think the lack of stretch contributes to correct feeding rates, correct timing, agitating the plants and training and a small percentage of results likely go to florel as it simply kicks the plants into flowering mode faster than without it.

AKBB told me he had a crop once that he kept the fan on high, directly on the plants. He said it did not stretch at all. Which would go along in the same category of plant agitation. It's been proven to work but I never see reports of any growers doing it. Also, I was recommended to initiate flowering at 14 off/ 10 on for the first week, then switch over to 12/12... Also used bud ignitor, which is known to work well if used correctly, topped only 4 days before flip (which I wish I didn't do).. their's so many variables that come into play, Florel only contributed to a small amount of that. If Florel was as effective at the same rate paclo is, all the big commercial growers would be using it instead... since it does not carry over to the harvested flower, cheaper and does not carry much risk in damaging the plants... Its basically the same thing as the old Dutch Master Reverse and the newer product called Optic Foliar Switch.

Here is a pic the 95 Black Domina bx (Black Domina x NW Hashplant F3 x Black Domina x NW Hashplant F1) So out of my freebie pack I found two males and 3 ladies. The males I gave to a friend to play with and the gals have been in my tent just over a week now. I’ve been topping them to promote some side branching and their looking pretty decent.

Looks great! Loving those giant Black Domina fan leaves so far. Looking forward to these.

I've never really concerned myself with stretch and have always trained my plants in accordance to my height of room.

I do see the benefit of using Ethephon to control stretch as it appears to be harmless unlike other PGR's like Paclobutrazol, daminozide, and chlormequat chloride.

Basically, Ethephon has the same effects of shaking your plants.
I may even give it a try on some big stretchy bastards.

Has anyone ever grown a pineapple? This post reminds me of how to initiate a pineapple to flower. Place a bag over the pineapple with an apple inside and the ethylene has from the apple tricks the pineapple into fruiting. I wonder if it would work on cannabis...

Looking very good to only be on day 22 of flower... as you can see, the Florel did not alter the trich development....:D:weed: So ready for harvest time already!!!

Yessir... they are 22 days from the first day of 12/12! I know, it blows my mind a bit too... But they're not all that far along, I have most sativa doms in the back of the room and they're much slower. I think a big part of it is due to the Florel and the first weeks light schedule set on 10/14 and I'm beginning to believe the bud ignitor/bud blood works as well, cause I had girls in the last run kick into flower what seemed like a week faster than compared to when I didn't use it. It really does help, I know that much.

Florel is known to kick them into flower basically overnight.

Thanks brother!

We’ll call it day 45 flower for my 2 tk nl5haze f3 nl dom. Their grown 1 gallon super soil with microbes and just ro(Pheno hunt in small containers) extremely squat and very very little stretch. Man I got to say these are some of the most trich’d out I’ve ever seen! No joke I’ve grow 1000’s of plant and I’m super impressed... shit is dank. I will update when done but looks to be a descent Yeilder so far and I’d guess 9 weeker(we’ll see) if potency is everything he claims... well I thinks I might have a keeper . Bought a bunch of his gear as I’ve been looking for (legit) old school northern light, I’ve got a triangle x nl1 from coastal, 20 plant hunt and found an incredible keeper, have to see how his nl1 x’s stack up against that bad bitch

Lookin' good n frosty! What kinda terps you picking up on them so far? A buddy on insta just sent me some cuts and flower samples, one of the samples he sent was the GST (great southern trendkill skunk) x tknl5haze and it was some super potent flower! Ain't had that old school vibe and effect from bud in a while... Very heady and floaty stuff.

Greetings from the UK. Signed up just for this thread so I could gawk at all your lovely photos and contribute once I have something growing.

Just made my order with AKBB, went for:

Blue blood X Vintage blueberry
NL5/Haze
HCP v3
Black Dom bx
Americanna
Skunk Qabbage X Mimosa
OG Choc Thai
Dope Beard Durban (freebie)
Skunk #1 X Super Skunk (freebie)

Top dude, found time to answer my questions and make a few recommendations. Never been so excited by a seed purchase and a potential return to some old school experiences. These won't be slept on and I'll probably pop 2 packs per run in coco under LED, starting when they land.

I'll be sure to upload photos, and smoke reports once complete.

Have a top weekend :eyesmoke:

Treps so far are like a fruity kinda a smell tho the number 1 has an added dank lime type twist... love it got me rubbing those sugar leafs I’m sure the smell will change around a bit, but very pleased so far!

My AKBB Update
as of right now I am NOT impressed with these seeds. I have a nl5/nl1xnl1 bx I chopped after I got tired of looking at it 11 weeks into flower. it threw nanners that I plucked for a month, luckily they were sterile. I have a super skunk BX at week 8 that I had high hopes for but is now seeding itself.
the Nl is dried and is mids at best. I really thought by buying bx crosses that I would have something stable.
and before anyone tries to blame me for these issues, I have other breeders going right next to these without issues. I have 2 freebies from jbc that are looking amazing, a sour banana from crockett that smells like a candy store. cannarado pilaf that I have grown a few rounds and some cherry zkittles from green line. only problems are with the akbb.
