Slap Plants Around
Your great book says that slapping my plants around will make them more resinous. Does this mean the better the fight, the higher the buds get you?
Ralph
Via Internet

Dear Ralph,
Slapping plants around may make a demented grower feel superior, smart and dominant, but it's detrimental to plant development and overall resin production. The book says: "Stress can cause plants to produce more resin, but it simultaneously causes odd and/or reduced growth."

For many years, growers claimed that mutilating plants, withholding water, erratic photoperiod regimens, etc., made them produce more and more potent resin. They also claimed that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light increases resin production. My favorite myth is that driving a spike through the base of the main stem makes plants produce more resin. All of these claims are untrue! The secret to making plants produce the most resin is to grow strong, healthy plants, not to mutilate them.

Early Flowering
I'm growing six indoor clones with a good setup (proper lights, ventilation, fans and soil), but I mistakenly grew them on a 12/12 light pattern from the start. Now the plants are very short with few leaves but are starting to show flowers and white pistils. Can I put my clones through 24 hours of light so they can go back to the vegetative stage to grow bigger, then switch back to 12/12 to get good-sized buds, like I should've done from the start?
PS: It has been two months.
Rabid Child
Via Internet

Dear Rabid,
Sorry to inform you that you made a major fuck-up. The good news is, you should have a few buds to smoke. Sure, you can change the light back to 24 hours on and zero hours off, but it'll take a month or longer for plants to resume 'normal' vegetative growth. One thing I don't understand is why you've just figured out that your plants are flowering if they've been under the 12/12 day/night photoperiod for two months. They should've shown outward signs of flowering (such as white, fuzzy pistils appearing) within two weeks, and they should be finished flowering by now. Maybe the buds are so small that you didn't believe they were flowering.

At this point, you're better off starting with new clones or even seeds. It'll take about the same time for flowered plants to revert to vegetative growth, and these plants could easily have insect and disease problems since they've been in the ground so long. If you can buy or find new clones, use them. If you must grow new clones, do it. They'll be rooted and ready in two weeks. Female clones should be induced to flower when they're about 12 to 18 inches tall.

Sativa-dominant strains should be flowered when plants are smaller, and indica-dominant strains can be bigger when flowering is induced. If you must plant seeds, do it today. Seeds will grow about two months before you'll be able to distinguish sex and induce flowering.

Molasses and Kool-Aid
Last year's August issue had a question about improving taste with Kool-Aid and molasses sugar. Could I get some advice about how much of the Kool-Aid packet and how much molasses I should add to a gallon of water?
AKrider
Via Internet

Dear AKrider,
Sugar is one of the main 'secret' ingredients in many fertilizers. I have a lot of experience with molasses, fructose and refined and raw sugar, but little experience with Kool-Aid. I've seen Kool-Aid used and haven't been impressed with the results. Plants will suck up all the sugar they can when it's applied to the soil at irrigation time.

We did an experiment about 10 years ago and found that buds swell about 20% when sugar is added to irrigation water during the last four weeks of flowering. The sugar could also be enhanced with other flavors, but the flavors don't always come through as a notable taste when the weed is smoked.

Determining the dose of sugar is very easy: Add enough to a container of room-temperature water so that the solution is saturated. This will be about one tablespoon per quart of water. Remember, roots can only absorb so much sugar. Over-applying sugar won't make buds swell any more, and it'll also attract ants and other curious critters. This is why some growers apply only one tablespoon per gallon of water. If plants take a lot of water because they're in a windy location outdoors, cut the dosage by as much as 90%. As you can see, you'll need to play with the dosage a little, depending upon the growing situation of each plant.

im wondering,if someone has been inbreeding annual plants in a
outdoor setting in a northern temperate climate useing selective pollination for three generations,and the pollinated
florescence on said plant is left out into late october,enduring several rain storms which causes seeds in bracts to germinate,then seeds are "planted" in the seed mothers grow spot and it is discovered a month later the seeds
have sprouted,could an annual,when acclimated actually survive
the winter to begin positive growth in the spring?Winters do get cold around here,frost some snow lottsa rain.
Just curious.

Is true? That just right before to cut or crop the bud, you can leave the plant for a period of 24 to 48 hours "with no light at all" just water... so the plant react to extract all the nutrients to survive due in increasing of the THC level at the maximum?

Be careful when adding refined sugar to your plants..in excess it can cause fungus growth in the soil which will destroy your roots and eventually lower your resin production. Still give it a try but make sure you take baby steps before you try and jump.

Jorge check it out i got two 3 1/2 to 4 ft clones that have just started flowering, there in there third or 4th week.the clones were grown indoor, as soon as i got them because i didnt have an indoor setup i put them out.im thinking here it is aug. and they have been out for about a month maybe less should they have been outside earlyer?the hairs are just starting to turn that red color and its not baring much fruit.
people tell me when it starts doing this its finishing its budding cycle?am i going to pull anything off these guys. the strains are p1 and kraft.

TO GROWIN GRANNY...
sorry to tell you but those round swollen sacks are pollen sacks. it's either you have a male in there or you got a clone off of a hermaphrodite (a female plant with the male reproductive organs).
You need to either kill that one plant to save your whole crop from being pollenated OR take tiny scissors and clip away ALL little sacks you can find, I mean go over the entire plant several times but I do think just killin that one will save you the trouble of having to pick out seeds from your bud later on down the road if you missed some pollen sacks.
I hope I helped and you caught it in time.

Dear Daddy

Mar 22 2007, 5:19 am

Daddy, if those plants are still alive,,, lets see first go and get some CFL floods, 120 watt, get at least 4 and the clamp on lamps to hold them. then go to www.sportsmansguide.com and replace that foil with silver mylar blankets {4 of em for abt $8} or paint the walls flat white. get bigger pots. Get good soil and add lots of pearlite. I add transplant care nutrient mix from Gardens Alive at GardensAlive.com {I also use thier Green Guard excellent stuff, all natural.} It's full of bacteria and fungi that the roots need. Always remember as below so above with plants. care for the roots first. Do not use tap water. I favor rain water or filtered water. If the soil gets a white crust on top the water is no good.Poke your finger about an inch into the soil and see if it's wet or dry, also feel the weight of the pot if it's heavy it's wet! It's hard to over water these girls but you don't want rot so don't be afraid of them, plants like the attention. Anyway you can flower with the cfl lights it will help to lay down red mulch if you do. Holler if you want my help. Granny

I FINALLY found people that are serious and know what they're talking about! I need some advice, but first... lights- compact florescent{sic} flood lights, 120 watt 1300 lumens uses only 23 watts with 4 of them my veg chamber is glorious! Now. I was given a clone and told it was train wreck. After vegging her and taking new clones I've started her 12/12. she's doing amazing after 2 weeks except for these very big perfectly round balls at the junctions of the stems! it's all over her yet my other girls are normal. There's a little swelling which is usual but "train wreck" looks like little green shiny grapes! Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Why does this swelling occur and what's in the little balls? It's really got me worried. Help...

Mar 21 2007, 1:29 am

The most productive and efficient grow you can do in a small space is a laughable idea to the uninitiated, the mini-sea-of-green. It simply means you go 12/12 at six to eight inches tall and keep them as even as you can.

Trimming all the lower leaves and branches will allow air circulation and maximum energy concentration at the tops, where it counts. It will also allow closer plants meaning more tops. In the end you get a crop o’ tops!

Finding the end height of your strain is a matter of experience, yours or of your info source’s. If worse comes to worse and you run out of headroom this time simply bend them horizontal. Gently clear the branchlettes and bend the main stem over in a sweeping curve. Tie it into place with sting. If they all get too tall don’t cut them, bend them. Watch the branchlettes (my made-up word) change directions and turn straight up towards the light like a bunch of tops!

You can tuck too-tall tops right into an overhead 400w hood this way. Not 600w!

Avoid topping your babies if you can. On the other hand you can be a Luther Burbank and custom prune an inter woven walking cane, with experience

To ShortEE945,

I salute you my Brother! Grow your own. I am a bubble-hydro clone maven with good science myself.

I don't claim soil or seed.

Many parts to address here. I'm going to pull the camera way back.

I'm not sure about the courtesy rules here so I'll just start pouring and will stop if asked to.

First thing, every creature or life form should be allowed to grow all-the-way up. The steady, uninterrupted grow/bloom cycles mean your little girls will grow straight up into potent, fully-sexy bitches! The thing about hydro is we get to play God. We control how high they get in the end by deciding when to bloom.

Basically you start your 12/12 bloom cycle with the end zone height in mind. For instance, a certain strain will jump 3 x higher during bloom while another stays more squat.

I got a few questions as this is my first indoor setup. I have limited space to work with and was wondering if i can still get a decent yeild if i pop the braches at the trunk and trim at 18-20inches and not let i grow any higher just wider? Also some of the plants have a stem of 5inches to the flower, i dont think that it is the lights just that i left about 3inches of space in the top of the pots. Is a 3-5inch stem a bad sign in a 5day old plant? Last, i read once that UV lights at the end of the flowering is good? but for what and when, why and how high from the plant.....?

Hi Lizard Eyes

Mar 2 2007, 10:58 am

Its me, your friendly stranger. Why the all-caps lately?

I like to trim on the couch watching TV over a shallow cardboard box lined with newsprint.

Trim them while they are wet. Don't let them dry and the crystals won't drop off. You can beat them up pretty good and they won't separate until they dry.

Hang the trimmed bud while still on the stems and leave the trimmings spread out over the newsprint. If you have a stove with a pilot light arrange the shallow boxes on the stovetop and turn on the exhaust fan overnight.

Screen those trimmings for kif!

Hanging the buds on a coat hanger while still connected to the stem is important for air circulation and it helps the bud to not dry too quickly but evenly.

Congratulations! Bet you're glad you waited the extra time. What about those mites?

I expect a karmic bud or two to appear in my stash now.

Cool! Maybe I should write a book?

Feb 28 2007, 9:14 pm

I am a first time grower lookin for some advice. Right now I have 12 plants going in a 4 foot by 4 foot room lined with Aluminum Foil. I started this adventure from seed 18 days ago. Each plant is in a 6 inch pot. They range from 3 to 4 inches tall. I have 2 75 watt plant and Aquarium lights and a Warm White Halogen. about a foot and a half off of the top of the plants. As far as watering goes im not really sure on the amount but I read some where else they need 150ml a week but that doesnt seem like very much so twice a week I have been giving it 75 ml and all the other days they get 20ml. Im keeping them under 16 hours of light a day. They have a fresh air source and I keep it around 75f during light hours and about 10-15 degrees cooler during dark hours. Will these plants have to be transplanted into bigger pots? Am I giving them enough water or to much? How long should this whole process take before I can smoke down on the herbs? Or if you have any suggestions feel free to give them.

Thanks!

A small 'seaofgreen' is the way to go IMHO.

Then you have regular harvest and constant supply.

First Timer, if you harvest say 50g of dried bud,that you did not have to pay for,just think how quick you will smoke it.

Sarasin

Feb 21 2007, 6:04 pm

Don't look at growing in that view First timer.

The plant will give what it can give. In other words, what you gave it.

IF you stick to the basic rules, which are few, you will have a harvest.
It WILL only get better from there.
Don't be greedy or your crop will be a disaster.It leads to over feeding and ultimately fucking it all up.

Just grow it and be greatfull if you have a decent harvest.

It all also depends on how you have vegged the plant. IF you took it to optimum height (3 to 4 foot) and have topped it, and gotten some decent branches, maybe even multiple colas will be the result.

I find the vegging stage the most interesting. This is where all the pre planning is. Flowering is just the final stages.

Good luck. Remember to follow the basic rules!

First-timer, most indoor plants will yield anywhere from a few buds up to maybe two ounces if you do all the right things and have a high yield strain. I suggest planting more than a few just in case you lose some for any reason you won't have to start all over.

O.K. I'm a big fan and I have a three part question for the guru. What is an acceptable ec reading for irrigation water after it has passed through the medium? Can this measurement be used to identify toxic salt build-up in the medium? When using a leaching solution like Clearex to flush out the salts, do I still need to flush the medium with three times the volume of water? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi Jorge,

I have read all i can find from you and watched your DVD.
I have had 4 harvests from my 1m by 1m room.A success everytime.I have even impressed my experienced grower mates.Your advice was spot on and have had a smile on my face for months.
I have a question though:
Instead of using the 3 premixed bottles of Gro, Bloom and Macro, i was given 6 mixtures by a fruit farmer.
KNo3, MPK, Solipotash, Magnesium (epsom salts), Macromix(copper etc.)and a calcium mixture.

I also use FulvicAcid.

I have been feeding my plants and have great success but would like to know more about using this type of nutrients.

Cheers!

:)

Homedog that depends on a lot of things. People need more info that you are going to grow.

chadg you should repot the plants when they are root bound. when the pot is full of roots repot it.
