Hopin?? you guys can help out at Newbie Crossroad #00485 (lost count during grow box construction actually).
Yrs and yrs buyin?? baggies that barely closed but never saw ??how? a bud actually forms. Have also seen so many great pics of flowers and buds you all have posted but none that I??ve seen so far show what??s goin?? on below or behind the flower tips and foliage.
You??d think plants magically jump from flowers to harvest-ready buds.
In a ScrOG you need to know where to tie down branches to establish where they will turn vertical. But how many new mini nodes will be part of the bud?
The pic below shows a primary branch which is 7 primary nodes back from the plants main kola (off camera to the left).
As a newbie grower, I??m puzzled by what I see here at Day 11 of flowering. We know buds have at least a few ??stemmy? ??nodal forkings? inside ??em but in growing you may not know what??s up if you have a plant like this (bagseed skunk I believe) that was probably sliced and diced for commercial productivity, and where new flower tips seem to appear every time the plant nodes off again.
This has gotta be a pretty stupid topic (anal question) for the experienced eye but... I??m putting it up as more or less part of my Fragmented Searchup Grow Journal. Hopefully the thread??ll help out some newbie out there in the future someplace..
First time growers can??t know if the flowers (like blue arrowed ones in pic) will simply form smaller buds (or ??nuggets?) of their own.
Or...
Whether these pistil clusters - flowers - will spin up into the larger kola. If so, then it would be important to locate your tie-down for this branch more over to the right. In other words - tie someplace before / or lower than the nodes that have flowers.
One thing that haunts me is what the term schwagg means when people talk about bagseed. This plant has to be skunk. But m??man for 10 yrs knows I want good weed. Thing is, I make it a point not to ask details like strains - so - well - what I??m saying is I don??t know if this photo shows some kind of genetic anomaly from commercial production trimmin, prunin, revegging, clipping, topping and so on.
Should all of the ??blue arrow? flowers in the pic be climbing vertically together at this point? Will they twine up as parts of a huger bud or into separate smaller buds? Stupid but I could not say they won??t rise above the canopy as individual bud sites?
ArightOkay, Here??s how the legend on the photo breaks down:
Blue arrows - point at flowers which, to this newb, look like they could become buds of their own, OR could just as likely beome part of the final big bud.
Letter A. -- This is approximately where I had this branch tied down so far.
Letter B. -- This lower secondary has a visible flower tip, which - please help on this - I??d like to know would Letter B, be a good typical cloning candidate for my second attempt - plant has a lot of these that prob won??t make it up through the foliage (leaves) anyway.
Or, since I??m sure yields not gonna be an issue, should I instead clip out a few primary tips for my second cloning attempt.
Oh - almost forgot - Since I will be cloning clones at/from flowering phase, how much longer than normal is rooting liable to take? A couple days more or a week or more?
Letter C. -- Primary branch exits main stalk.
Letter D. -- Location (behind leaf and wire) where I think this branch should be tied down. Yes? No? Maybe?
