I know its an old thread, but if you read this and are starting on PP here is some useful advice as I have done these for the past three grows.......Height is always a problem with these girls as they go ballistic and even when flowering at 10 inches tall they will reach 4 and a half feet tall, even with a shit load of lumens on them. topping works ok, but you lose the best flowering head. I bend them slowly and train them, but even then the side shoots take off and go HIGH. In short, on the height issue, if you are short on space/head room then do NOT grow these! You can try to flower really early, but they reward you by not showing signs of flowering for three weeks if they are too young, so get some clones if you can and they will show earlier. If using fem seeds then keep a real close eye on them for the first four weeks of flower as they will throw out little bunches of bananas (male flowers) at the internodes if they have hermie tendencies. Clip these off and they go to full female mode....Sounds like its not worth it with these....right?....WRONG!!...the yield (about 5 oz dry) per plant and the stone(oh man, the stone!!) makes these a treat to grow. Oh and you can throw the nutes at these babies (2.4 EC) and they do not burn. The stalks smell of pungent diesel fumes if you rub em and they ripen real quick, so dont worry if they flower late. Reports I have had back are that it was the best bit of green around for 3 years, and thats some feedback when we regularly have chronic, blueberry and haze.
PEACE, poosticks
