Early flowering tips?

[Shaun1says]

Just put 3 soil clones in flowering (as well as some in hydro) 3 days ago. One Master Kush, One Sage and Sour, and one Pot of Gold. I have been using the 3 Foxfarms as well as a Nute called "Purple MAXX" recomended to me.

My question is does anyone have any sudgestions of how to increase yield or cron-ness in these next few weeks?

Thanks in advance

I hate seeing posts without replies, but I'm not a cloner. I assume you just flower as if from seed. I don't think there is anything you can do to increase potency if that's what you mean. You may want to choose your words wisely. I know I am.

Best of luck!

Shaun1says,the best advice i can give you is to keep giving them VEG FOOD for the first two weeks of flowering.Alot of people go right to bloom food,then 3-4 weeks into flowering they lose most or all of there bottom fan leaves because they dont have enough nitrogen in there bloom food.Remember the start of 12/12 is a huge vegatation growth so give them the they need for it.Good luck,sounds like some nice stains.

I came up with an answer. I think what you were asking is how to increase the "chronicness" of your plant. And I'm sorry to sound political. Chronic is a strain not a state of dankness, just like hydro is method and not a strain. These two terms worked themselves into the brain of street dealer, and everyone is now selling dime bags of hydro, or chronic.

Chronic = NL x Afghan x NL / NL x Big Bud x Afghan

1# Rip out all plants.
2# Find cuts or seeds of Northern Lights, Big Bud and Afghan.
3# Grow out and find the best Northern Lights female you can find, and make a clone. If you happen to find strong male in the group, save his pollen.
4# Grow out and find the best Afghan male you can find. collect the pollen.
5# Grow out a Big Bud make and collect the pollen.

Looking at the above liniage, change it into a simple math problem to solve. So now "Chronic = NL x Afghan x NL / NL x Big Bud x Afghan" looks like Chronic = ((NL x Afghan) x NL) / ((NL x Big Bud) x Afghan).

Once you have your supplies, pollinate one of your Northern Lights Clones with some of the afghan pollen you collected to create seeds the more the better. Grow out all those new seeds to find the best female in the group. Make a back up clone or two of this plant. You now what to pollinate the best female with some of the Northern Lights Pollen you collected. Grow this plant out for seeds.

Grow out one the Norther Light clones you have made in 3# above. pollinate her with the Big Bud pollen you collected in 5# above grow out that pollinated plant to seed. Grow out all of these new seeds and find the best female in the group and make a back up clone. Pollenate this female with afghan pollen you collected and grow her out for seed.

You now have two very different seeds, a "NL x Afghan x NL" seeds, and a "NL x Big Bud x Afghan" seeds. Grow out all the "NL x Afghan x NL" seeds and "NL x Big Bud x Afghan" seeds in different rooms. Find the very best "NL x Afghan x NL" female and the very best "NL x Big Bud x Afghan" male. Collect the pollen from the male and pollinate the female. Grow out to seed. The seeds from the last cross are "Chronic" seeds, and contiain the "cron-ness" you are looking for.

The term "chronic" was being used to describe the potency of cannibis by dr dre and the like, way before the strain came out.

On behalf of shawn1 I just wanted to thank you for that complicated mess of an answer to his simple question.

facelift, i wish that I had the kinda setup to set all that up but in a small closet with just one 400 MH/HPS light and no other available rooms It is not prabable. Thank you for that tutorial though.
But I really looking for what I could do to increase THC potency and resin glands or increase my overall yeield. I have heard so many things on here that I am not what people are just trying out and what has been proven to work. Although I like experimenting on my own if there is something sweet all you expert growers do I was just hoping to be enlightened by it.

O and by the way I got pics!!

The whole closet

The Pot Of Gold

The master Kush with Sage In Sour behind and Purple Erkle to the right

btw the hydro are sorta hidden behind the POG

Hey Shaun1says,

Its looking good in your closet

I think strains will be as potent as they are meant to be

Any thing you do will only have a minimal impact IMO
and if you mess around too much you may do more harm than good, which obviously would be bad

But like I said it`s looking good in there, just keep doing what your doing and it should be all good

Good luck with the grow

PEACE

I wish I had the set up too. Along with those plants you have. When I grow I've stuck with a "glow box" and bag seed or seeds created from bag seed.

the advise about the veg food at first is right on.I normally ween them off the veg slowly and go 1/2 veg food 1/2 flower food for a couple of weeks.then when you gt into the last 4 weeks or so you may want to try a product called "top max".It works really well for me in the last growth period.

For more potency and better yield,I would have to say keep temps at 75 with lights on 60-65 with lights off.
