Anyone Have Experience with 'Super Producer' (Flo)?

I'm raising a few of the strain Flo, which is a super producer, and I've read that this means that when the plant is budding, as long as you can keep it alive it will continually produce more buds.

One of the plants commenced budding under a 24/7 200 watt CFL and, as I'm unaware of the origin of the seeds other that they're from a guy on holiday in Amsterdam, I'm assuming that this particular one is of an auto flowering type. Two weeks back the trichomes were all milky. however the buds were still packing on size with new hairs and bulking up with more trichomes, so I'm wan to harvest it yet, and, since it's a super producer, I'd like to keep it alive ad infinitum, if possible.

If anyone has had experience with Flo or any other type of super producer, could you please pass on your techniques for the harvesting of the buds please?

sounds like a tall tale to me. flo grew like any other plant for me. got rid of her quickly, not a great bud structure or bag appeal.

Thanks for the response Uncle Buck. Point taken with appreciation.

I will experiment when I get to point where I'm budding the other fems, although it does sound kind of impossibly difficult to do, really, because once you've harvested a bud there's nothing to sprout a new budding site from, is there? So how then can any new buds form?

wonder if what they mean is that when you take a bud, if you leave a bit of it behind that bit will continue to form new calyxes 'n' shit (scientific term) and keep growing into an even larger bud?

If that were the case then auto-flowering Flo plants would be a THC mine of continual bud production.

I will snip off part of a bud and see what happens (and post the results) because I'd expect that if this 'super producer' aspect of Flo really was pure bullshit, it would have been called as such by many more growers.

i think that if there existed a strain that awesome, people would be onto it already.

cannabis plants grow like annuals, you cut them down and you grow new ones. a perennial type of harvesting plant sounds like gimmickry.

I have not heard the term "super producer" but I know DJ Short often mentions that most of his genetics can be re-vegged after harvest. This is useful if someone did not take clones but finds a nice pheno upon chopping. I think this might be what you are referring to but I am not sure.

Edit: phone turned pheno into phenomenon!

Its nothing very special.
Its just that some buds are fully ripe since others not. You harvest the ripe ones and the ones on the plant will start to swell about 10-25 %.
Its not ment to produce for ever. But new flowergrowth will develop until a certain point. After that all will be ripe and with no interaction by human the plant will finish lifecycle and die. Now you could reveg the plant to get clones for next season. But that can be a pain in the ass but its doable.

Have seen it done with pure sativas on canary islands -spain-
close to equator its a common technique I believe.

I dont do autos usually but tested some this year (wasnt impressed two different strains)
They took forever from may until now but breeder said 60 days from seed to harvest. Lol
I observed a similar thing with the autos.... some buds of all parts of the plant ripened about two weeks earlier while the others still full of new growth. One plant I cut and left the lowest pair of internodes intact the buds still shoot new few pistils and will take forever.

Oh btw. and that new pistils make very fluffy bud

Peace

Thanks to all for the responses. I cut off a small lower bud but left the next bud below it intact and it doesn't seems to have increased the growth activity of the lower bud. It does sound like 'super producer' is just a gimmick. Using that logic all plants are super producers since they can all be revegged!

If a continuously producing strain like that existed it would be in EVERY garden. Which it is not. Take from that what you will.

Well wanka did have the ever lasting gobstopper ! booya....

I still would have called it gobstopper, maybe ill pop some beans and do so

It sounds as if what you should be looking into is a perennial strain.... You can find it if interested through the breeder doggy butts. The strain is called big bad john... It's a perennial that if let alone in the wild colonizes with 3-4 offspring per growing season..... Here is a link for all the nah sayers.....

So kinda by default whut your looking for is available but it's has a some difference from whut effect your looking for reproduction wise.... I hope this helps.
