Let's pre-flower for massive growth on purpose!!

**needsomeasap** · 10-30-2010, 11:55 PM

Hi.
new to site and growing period. i am doing my homework tho. i found a plant growing outside where i smoked some bud the year b4. it died when i tried to hydro it in river (ha, learned since then), but it was in the pre flower stage and had ALOT of growth in just a couple of weeks.

so i live in southern US. should be able to do a grow this winter, gonna try anyways. seeds get here in a couple days. so how do i get a not-one-foot-tall-plant? just exposing to some light for awhile in the middle of the night isnt enuf, i would want buds sooner just in case weather is bad or i suck at growing.

how can i extend pre-flower growth speed. is it the amount of light? more than 12/12, less than 16/8? i think we had 13.5 hour days at that time, and "it depends":rasta: on strain?

if it is even photoperiod activated.

im trying purple widow(up to 10ft!), orig haze(yea baby), pure power, g13xHaze(uncle sam's), and some Ruderalis strains(not photo dependt i know).

btw, anyone know where to get wild/pure ruderalis
i am going to try some breeding with all this stuff too. getting root gel & reading up on high school's "dominate/recessive" genes this week if any1 is looking for grow buddy or someone to teach the old ways b4 they lost to

Sorry, but why on earth are you in the advanced area then?

You have much reading to do, searching to do, questions to develop and answer. Here in the growing section in general you should be able to develop and answer many of your own questions.

We are very willing to help those in earnest, but not those that are too lazy to work a little to learn.....*sigh...the society of entitlement*

Read some books too, like Cervantes books, Rosenthal writings, and some of the other major players in the growing world.

When you have specific issues regarding a specific problem with a plant, fill out the troubleshooting form in many folks's signatures. Some of us will only speak up in soil such as myself and others just for hydro. The forms help immensely.

:thumbsup:

18/6=vegatative stage
12/12=flowering stage

The above is mostly true, there are exceptions. Now, go do some reading

Wow... I hope you save those good seeds until you have read until your eyes bleed because it would be a shame to see them go to waste.

Look when I first came to this site I was scolded badly for not doing proper research, I research daily for yield, Better strain management, how to cure, clone, and whatever else I need. Take what the pros have to offer, I'm now on my second grow, I think I would call myself a novice, but I'm on the door of advance. All the pros can tell you, Its not easy to grow. So read up have fun and learn my friend.

**needsomeasap** · 10-31-2010, 08:10 PM

well i am trying to see which forum i like...perhaps i didnt land on the right one.

is this really a novice question? no.

i have been researching for a couple of months now. this is my first post reguarding cannabis.

maybe you should read all of my post. there is no answer or question to this issue via a google search. THAT is why this is posted in the advanced section. How many newbs show up here trying to initate pre-flower.....ummmm ZERO!! sigh...the society of entitlement well, i am trying to grow ruderalis for the :microwave: generation.

I asked about wild/pure ruderalis so i could start from square one and not use some diluted strain from Mighty Mite. ooops, oops, that sounds sorta like research, eh? work on my part...ya. When you have specific issues regarding a specific problem with a plantA specific issue...check....specific problem...hey wait, you mean plant first THEN present the issue? ha ha, ur smokin b4 these forums eh? i could be prepared.
btw, you have only been here one year. i know, i know, "i was dividing the 10th chromosome in Columbian Gold while you were still learning how to roll":S4:

:yeahright:
ha, that is very close to what i put in my post.....you didnt even read it past the first line did you. I bet when you first started you did alot of what your accusing me of...the only thing here that makes sense....

welcome to the party!! Mendelian Genetics, plz o plz dont tell me you are going to google that after 800+ posts here. does anyone ask first about pre-flower and know very little about nitrogen, bat crap, cfl, amber trichomes, coco peat, tolerate temps from high '20's-100's, clones via root hormone/aspirin-and-water/willow bark, stressing roots to make hermie for all fem (although likely hermie too), spraying with silver or treating with acid to make fem....sigh......

ostexcuseme:i think alot of good grass & seed has already gone to waste somewhere around here.

If anybody that isnt needing to grind an ax with a newb:icon506::buzz_saw:....and...AND...actually knows the answer (they may just feel ashamed they didnt know the answer and never thought to ask).

pre-flowers show at their own pace...PERIOD! this usually happens around the 4-6th node, once the plant become sexually mature. you know it's sexually mature when the nodes are opposite.

i'm not sure why you want to get pre-flowers to grow abundant? these are merely flowers that grow in veg that show sex of a plant. not all strains/plants will show pre-flowers in veg.

and before you start trying to throw shots at people that are trying to help you perhaps you should get a grasp on grammar and spelling. i find it pathetic that you are 41 years old and can't form a complete sentence. and you supposedly split chromosomes in Acapulco gold.....sure buddy. how many sets on chromosomes does cannabis have?

and then you go and ask for a grow buddy or someone to show you the old school ways before they are lost....yet all you do is insult anyone who tries to give you good advice. funny stuff. we are a pretty tight-knit group around here. perhaps you did land on the wrong boards.

you might get the answers you want if you post, concise, to the point questions and not throw up a post that doesn't really go anywhere.

you have no business breeding.
