Whatkind of soil/medium are you using?
Just keep in mind plants use the most nitrogen then potassium then phosphorus. Plants also have the ability to store phosphorus at much much greater levels then the nitrogen or phosphorus.

The hieght of flowering depends on the strain. Prohaps a sativa may be two feet but I would flower AK47 for instance at 5 inches and have it finsh at 12 inches with a solid nug the whole way up. 8 grams dry. I super crop though. The bottom of my stems are the size of my thumb. Only way to do hundreds of them

No more pics, sorry, camera died. I'll borrow a friends when it comes down to harvest or if I have any problems that I cannot identify... It is growing pretty well, except for a little stretching from when I went on vacation. I think I may start with an LST program to get some growth from the bottom branches (it sounds pretty easy so no questions for that...) , but I do have a question about cloning.
when can you start cloning and where on the plant should you take the clippings from?
i know lots of people use neoprene collars and such, but i was wondering where i could get those or what you can use as as alternative. I was just going to place wet tissues around the main stem so they dont fall down and then place above a bubbler with the bottom of the stem just touching the surface of the water. (I was prolly going to use rooting hormone too) then i was going to transfer to a perlite mix when roots develop.
I've read a little about supercropping, basically, you trim off the top of the plant or what?
well, i answered my own question about cloning and everything so I should have a bubbler cloner going soon...
foliar feeding for clones, yay or nay?
im using perlite/vermiculite for medium, I don't know if that is classified as hydro or soil-less but it is working... :)
here's a link for cloning

btw, thanks for all the postive responses
It's funny reading some of my earlier posts... For those just starting out, take the time and do a little research: It will really help. Be a knowledge sponge, if you have any questions, go and ask them in the live chat. Someone will point you in the right direction.
I cloned my main plant and have it under 24 hours of cfl in bubble cloner. I'm thinking about putting it into soil when it starts to develop roots.
Where can you get promix soil?
I will probably lst the clone and scrog it in honor of justaseed. Wish me luck!
I currently have a few plants starting in peat pellets to see if that works... I hear they don't allow enough space for roots. eh, just bagseed, we'll see what happens. I had another question, but I can't think of it at the moment and I've got to get going...
Right on MJM...I'm glad it finally worked out.It was a rough childhood but it should be fine!
Super cropping is more cracking the inner husk thickening the stems and giving a stouter growth. Twist slowly back and forth starting at the bottom.
Could you send pics or something...I am kind of hesitant to start working in the lower part of the stem for fear of it falling over, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. I have read other posts on supprercropping and nowhere did I find anything on breaking the tissues on the lower husk. Are you sure this gives the desired results, a stout shrubby plant?Quote:
