Aspirin: How long for effects?

[WashougalWonder]

I used to mix it up...sativa dom, then an indica, back-n-forth, mainly because of the tollerance issues. Now, I find myself pushing the seeds from sativa doms twords the back of the cupboard and going with the heavy indica's.

Are you running one growth room and one flowering room?
.... I'd rather cull 50 seedlings due to a back-up, than have vacant spots in the flower room. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I find the sativas give me less of what I need most of the time. I also like the growth patterns more of the indicas.

I have 2 rooms, seedlings are in veg room under the table under fluorescent t-5s, they go from clone tray to seedling tray (humidity covered). After a week or so, they move above table and are under the HID. Yeah, I throw out a minimum of 50% of my clones and 20% of my vegged stuff to stay in count every week. Sometimes if I have enough of a specific, I will pass on a flowering round and just get babies and perpetuate, never going to flower room at all.

I have like 6 mainstay breeds, and 5 up and coming, gee what is it like plants. I try to use 2 different species each day to avoid the tolerance issues. I have one for daytime and one for night time usually.

I know it's tough with a perpeptual garden, but if you can add a couple of weeks to the flowering time, you'll likely find a whole new effect for each strain. (psychotropic wise)

Well the flower room has potential of 10 weeks, many mature before that. I have to really watch what I am doing so I don't end up with everything coming out at the same time, stall on this one, advance that one depending on maturity.

Now, back to the aspirin. I have a young one of these I put in the flower room, just in a 1/2 gal pot. Should show flowers end of next (this)week. When do I start the ASA (that is medicalese for aspirin) after the flowering starts? No interest in anything but pollen off this plant.

Light poison at the same time? Suggestion for the method?....hours, etc.

Found the giberillic acid in many products for making tomatoes set, spray on application only. Want to avoid if at all possible, I want this to be as pure as possible.

To those of you beginners that think this may be for you...think again. This is an advanced technique. If you do not fully understand the growing process, and don't know the "'why's and how's" ...this can ruin your genetics.
(learn to grow, first)

Anyway...
I start the process a week or two into flower. I give her a chance to fall into her biological rhythm, then I start messing with her.

2 or 3 - 325mg aspirin (ASA) per quart of properly ph'd water. Treatments (aspirin in it's daily freshwater) continue till nanners show. Continue normal feeding schedule whilst waiting. If you water every day, she should get the treatments every day. If you water every other day, treatments are every other day...
Allow nanners to ripen and at least a couple of 'em open before discontinuing treatments.

The idea is to stress her into offering you her nannerdust. The method of stress almost doesn't matter, unless you overdo the stress and it kills her. Using aspirin and light poisoning together is fine. They'll likely fight over credit for making the nanners, but that's ok. :jointsmile:

For the light poisoning, I wait till she fully acclimates to the flowering schedule. (at least a full two weeks) After she settles-in, I'll wait for a couple hours after lights-out, and I'll sneak-in and bring her in the house. I'll set her in the clone room and properly light her as if she was in growth mode. I leave her in the light for between about fifteen minutes to a half an hour, (I set my timer or I'll forget) at which time I'll put her back so she's there during the flower rooms lights-on time.
I vary the times that I come in, sometimes even skipping a night, and the duration of the night-lighting. (remember...you want her to stress the nanners out of her) A couple of weeks of this and she usually cries "Uncle". Sometimes a tad quicker, sometimes a tad longer...

With either of these methods, you can reveg her without nanners. With the ASA'd lady you'll have to severely cut-back the rootball to remove residual aspirin though. Flushing didn't help on my first go around with the aspirin technique, but downsizing did work.

Better luck this time. :thumbsup:

Cool Rusty, I think I will have better luck as this plant is going just for the nanners, no intention of allowing to mature, or reveg, just want the nanners.

It has been in a week, started to show first flowers yesterday, will give another week and start the process.

Speaking of re-veg, I noticed yesterday the males I had pulled up outdoors, had re-vegged and got bunches more pollen off them before lifting the root ball off the ground. Damn weeds.
