I started 12/12 today

[prostel]

:D hi all, this is my first indoor grow and today I started 12/12 cycle with my CALIFORNIAN ORANGE BUD plants.
1-am I late for topping and if I top them now will I give them stress resulting in hermie plants?
2-Should I top them or this strain is not good with topping?
3-Heat can really change the sex of plants? How?
thanks for the answers:rasta:

[prostel]

I will try to send pics of them :)

1: too late for topping, you should top the plant every 4-5 layers of leaves while in veg, and if you top it give the plant a two week recovery period before flowering

2: Most strains react well to topping, shouldnt be a problem with Cal O Bud....

3: If its too hot you'll get more males apparntly

Hope that helps

Peace:rastasmoke:

Well topping them will increase your yield, by keeping them short and bushy.

I top all my plants, or attempt to FIM (Grow Marijuana FAQ, Cannabis cultivation - marijuana growing tips & photos (http://www.drugs-forum.com/growfaq/727.htm)) them

Because your plants only been in 12/12 one day it should be fine to reveg, but be quick.

How old are your plants? they should be at least 6 weeks old before flowering if grown from seed.

Your plants can double in size during flowering so you should flower them when they half the height you want them too be at harvest.

So if your plants are like 4 weeks old then yes reveg and top once or twice, or attemp a FIM.

Up too you :D

p.s Yeah i helped pretty damn quick but you were just lucky i was online, normally it takes a while to get posts, if you get posts at all :(

Peace :rastasmoke:

The BDS Website says 9/10 weeks. Yeah i think they a great height for flowering :thumbsup: . Dont worry about topping or fimming.

"California Orange Bud is a variety with a wonderful sweet orange aroma and an extra sweet taste. With good care it will produce a heavy crop of very good quality. California Orange Bud is one of the easier varieties to clone and cultivate under a variety of conditions. Buds are covered in bright orange and deep pink hairs. Orange Bud is a wonderful selection for the experienced and less experienced grower as well.

Sounds great hey =D Have you taken clones????

This technique works great:

Grow Marijuana FAQ, Cannabis cultivation - marijuana growing tips & photos (http://www.drugs-forum.com/growfaq/1122.htm)

You should take clones in veg, but you can take clones up to two weeks into flowering without a problem.

I bend them. when should I untie them. I am planing to bend them 2 weeks more in 12/12 cycle. Do u think is it gonna stress them or I should set hem free now.

[prostel]

I am not plannig taking clones. I do not let any one to visit me. Even my sister.I want to stop growing for a while.I want grow-free house for a while.then I can buy seeds again. maybe diffrent strain. but in case I want to askHow does it take if I grow from clones? shoter?

[blank_21]

I dont have any experience with LST'n, so wouldn't know...
I would set her free tho....

Your spelling sucks! use the edit button if you make mistakes.

Im guessing you asked "how long does it take if i grow from clones?"

Yes clones grow much faster than from seed. Theres no germination or seedling stage, they go straight to veg :D
