I use a Pair of Daytons

grapepunched said:things are looking great....
do you ever cut back any root systems when transplanting???
or just add new soil underneath the roots? or both?
sorry if you've already answered this but you do use some very small
bottles and I wonder how often transplants occur....
thanks DrBud and k+

DrBudGreengenes said:Almost every MJ plant has a sweet spot...
"Sweet Spot" : The height at which a plant put into 12/12 will finish at the right height just under the bulbs
They each react differently to the first 2 weeks of Flowering....and if that "Sweet Spot" can be found and recorded (It's the same every time after that If the same grow conditions apply)
It can be used at will,.....once you have this data you can grow as many strains in the same SOG as you would like "Variety is the Spice of Life"
Everybody starts at a different height but they all finish at the same height
Pig-Pen said:No I understand all that.
Since this is a no-veg system,
Only in a single strain Garden is it no veg there are 14 different strains in there right now....some of these R under 24 hour light for 3-5 days til they hit "The Spot"...some go in the Morning after they are transplanted
do the size of the clones you take correspond to the determined sweet spot, e.g. you have to take 2" cuts from strain A, 7" cuts from strain B?
All cuts are 3/4' to 1.5" tall when they are taken
I'm assuming that all the plants in the cell have been maintained at the same elevation or do you boost the shorties closer to the light until they catch up?
All the cuts are at the same height....stretch for EACH and every strain I have has been recorded...the info is unbiased or it would be useless....My Educational Background is in Botany/Greenhouse Mgt.....the data is collected and used just like this was a commercial greenhouse producing any other ag. Product
If not, the couple of smaller clones that stretched insanely, would they have stretched as much if they were in less crowded, more lit environment?
yes they all stretch the same even if they sit alone in a room....stretch is determined by,size of container,and age of cut at 12/12
I'm trying to determine, in this case, to what extent extreme plant densities and light deprivation affect the initial flower stretch and if there's any pattern as to which strains are more or less affected by it.
you need to find the ones that say 2700k, Target seems to always have themG0d5hand said:Hello there Dr.Bud. I have a question for you. What type of cfls are you useing for your grow? I was homedepot today and they only had the philips daylight bulb. It has 42 watts, 2850 lumens ans on the back it says 6500k. I didn't see the warm white bulbs I think you said you used. I am not to familiar with the different light spectrums so I was wondering is this a good bulb to use for a setup like yours or is it the wrong bulb for flower as I think I heard that this porticular bulb was for veg only?
Thanks for all the info btw.
DrBudGreengenes said:My studies show that it is influenced more by container size and clone physical size at 12/12...than any other factor
Pig-Pen said:Gotcha. I thought "the next level" was a no-veg system for some reason. That clears up a lot.
I assume, as far as pot size relative to stretch, that you have found larger pots allow the plants to stretch out more simply on account of increased root space.
