Ah, my first grow log on this site...what a pleasure it is!
So a friend of mine is really big on genetics and has raised a superior crop for new england seasonal length. he tells me these plants are ideal because they bud relatively early in the season and finish quite early, which is ideal because the relatively early and unpredictable times of frost for outdoor grows.
I myself am interested in the genetics and hybridization of plants and will start a new thread on the appropriate area of the forum.
The plants, 6 in total, were cloned from a gigantic mother. they were grown indoors since they were cloned under a 1200W lamp w/ 16/8 cycle. the grow-room was built with a ventilator as well. clones were made in early april, remained indoors for several weeks and then transplanted outdoors on may 8. vegging lasted until July 19th until the plants naturally entered the flowering stage. they have been flowering since and are fairly healthy for the most part. currently they are 5 ft, 4 ft, 3.25 ft, 2.5 ft, and 2.5 ft.
I've LST'd all of the plants during their time indoors and outdoors, which has allowed for increased growth on lower parts of the plant, hence the bushiness and vigor of the 5-footer. In addition, I super-cropped the five-footer along with the 3.25 ft and one of the 2.5 footers. I would happily like to debunk the myth posted on other areas of this forum that super-cropping lengthens the veg. stage. in this grow, and my experience, super-cropping simply increases the surface area in which the plant was exposed to light, promoting more lush growth. I highly recommend LST super-cropping :thumbsup:.
I'll keep you posted...in the mean time enjoy :)
