WHO'S HAVING SUCCESS WITH MONSTER CROPPING?

Its not a mistake, maybe it should be called early monster crop (EMC), ( don't think it makes a diffence from a clone or plant, if you re veg when it shows its sex) I have done this often and my plants look yours but with a lot more buds by week 4.
I know its a Indica strain but that plant is a sativa phoneo, there no doubt about that so it will take longer in flower to show sex and it could take 10 weeks before you havest

didn't you say it took 4 weeks to show sex the first time ?
so its taken under 4 weeks to show sex this time, sounds about right to me

how long did it take in veg before the leaves started to grow normal ?

hope everyone can see this plant is a less bushy than a MC plant but at the same time its very bushy :)
and hope everyone can see what I was taking about now thanks to labs dexter

well done, don't remove any leaves till you see my plant at week 3 in flower

The plant after the fan leaves removed (early monster crop)

so give it a few weeks and your plant should look like this :)
When did you strip the fan leafs and did you strap the stems down please? I'll try and follow you're steps, I can definitely say my buds won't be that big coz I'm nice but I will post coz your the second person I know now lol EMC that's sick name. I did not do a journal because as you can see my writing is crap.

I pull the stems down in week 1-3 of flower to encourage small bud growth on all the shoots and let the shoot go after that, but your plant is full of small bud sites so its all good

with normal bud growth there is a 2-3 inch gap, on MC the gap is a lot bigger
with EMC there a lot of shoots and the gaps between the shoots are small ( on my plants it was between 1-2" ) so basically there was loads of small rock hard buds growing on top of each other
and thats why the buds look so big :)

looking at your plant I can see the same thing, so the buds will not grow large but you will end up with loads of small rocks hard buds all over the plant

I would try Cannatonic for that pain, 1:1 ratio THC:CBD
I did have CBD crew n barney's CBD critical cure but I have kids that managed to throw them away. So I ordered Painkiller it's ment to be good aswel have a read on it. And it's only 11 to 12 quid per pack of two seeds.

medicate yourself is the best way, the pain killer you have been munching on will just make thing worse and causes other problems, weed not being legal is all down to money, if everyone used weed to sort there problems, it would cost the government a lot of money cause you won't need the pain killer crap from the doctors

Thats hope its legal soon ( I live in the uk )

I know mate it ridiculous but hey ho it's how it goes lol, I know what your saying about the morphed crap it does do the job my mother said the same and she was a nurse but I need em and once my back is sorted I'll be happy.. Very unlikely lmao. I got a gas check soon and was wondering if they go in you're airing cupboard or the old boiler room if it's not there any more. And as for legalise it if they don't in a few years I might even move to Spain... I'm sure they let you grow three in your garden as percy ;) that will do me all year lol

I'll post the progress tonight not sure how far the buds are but it's the best looking afghani I a have seen lol. In tempted to do it again I have another female afghan but I just topped that, it's hard with an afghani because it's bushy as hell I was getting mad with it because nearly every so meny days I have to go in with a razor blade lol. I think a sat dominant or even anything less of shubaka is good for this because the plant matures and the buds are larger than what it was the first little flower, I guess that's why its good to ( early monster cropping, EMC <--- loving the name jacks :) it's best because the root is huge wich = to more n bigger buds and stems and I have to water it every day that's the down part lol

If I was getting the gas checked and had the plants in the house I would put them in the the shed with a ONA BLOCK 2 hours before he turns up.
cook a packet of bacon, 15 minutes before he turns up and hope for the best
gas check should be quick and simple (just check the cooker and boiler) but I would not want the plant in the house just incase there a problem.

great ideal about spain but there no work out there and the country in a bad way :(
Thats why I am not out there

will be good to see the plant (EMC :) ) having a large root mass, this late in flower is great and will help the buds grow large

Lool I can still get ESA lmao... I think anyway any country in Europe. But bout gas man I was gonna put the lady's in a wardrobe and take down the tent only thing I got a hole but on ceiling lol to draft air in but I think if take the cfl down it won't be noticed. It's just back pain taking it all down lol, plus I smoke bud even if they are here so I don't think smell is an issue and I have allot of smellies around coz I have 3 smelling akitas lmao. I think it will be fine just gonna be pissed if he don't look up there coz we have a combi boiler now n no tanks

As promised lol Here we are DSC_0075.JPG DSC_0074.JPG I had to give it abit of a trim to show and more light to get in the middle and I waterd that's why the droop. Jacks now I know what you mean about the node majig I monster cropped deep cheese from dinafem before and that was bushy but the buds were further apart. DSC_0084.JPG
I'm guessin early monster cropping is for a person who has three four stage plants in one flowering room and looking for a real monster crop. I really think jack you should start a conversation about this like to get the word out and show the advantages of these things I am thinking of doing the same again with Dr underground Painkiller and start it properly and we can show it and tell all. I say you because in the recent conversation you guys got deep into it. I bet it will be the new craze like vertical growing and what not
