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

[Ocotillo]

I want to skip veg stage all together and just go right to preflower. After that I want to skip flower and finish with the amazing growth from the preflower.

How can I go about this quest?

DO.

hi, thx dog:joint1:

yes and i think yes. an outdor grow now will take these from seed to flower with little growth. even just a few days of "the stretch" will improve yield tremendously, right? is it photoperiod activated/dependent? between 12 & 16? could i do this with an incandescent lantern or flashlight? Must avoid light stress by only doing from dusk til x hour, or in AM til sunrise, or can i let darkness fall for an hour or two before i start?

thx again
haters shoo-shoo

The plants genes are pre disposed to react to a certain photo period,... some more some less,....

For instance get your hands on a Thai land race, and as I've heard it won't flower unless you gradually change from 14-10 to 12-12.

I was reading some strain reviews last week, and one of them recommended doing the last two weeks as an 8/16! (8 hours light, 16 dark) to get the strain to finish!

Dont' ask which strain, I was :glugglug: :stoned: at the time

I deleted your childish rants and the bullshit insults you posted. Here's what's left:

Perhaps once you mature a tad you'll be willing to take a hint and do some learnin'. But till then...I think you should finish junior high before posting again. This is a medical cannabis site, not a day care center for wayward teens with a "poor me" attitude and no desire to learn or contribute in a socially acceptable manner.

Hopefully you find another site that will coddle your kind. But acting like a moron isn't endearing in any of it's forms, and our reaction to your barrage of bullshit and insults should be a clue that your behavior is unacceptable.

I can well believe this, and as one gets even closer to the equator the photo-period difference between vegetative and flowering for land races would decrease even more. As a lad I lived right on the equator (it was 7 km (4 miles) from our house to the equator sign on the road), where the length of the day varied by a maximum of only about 20 minutes over the course of a year. The days were never less than 12 hours, but our maximum sunrise-to-sunset time was only about 12 hours and 20 minutes!

It would be totally cool, and somewhat cheaper, to veg indoors at say, 13 hours of light, then flower at 12. :thumbsup:

I kind of want to skip the whole growing/having patience thing and just go straight to jars full of dank-ass buds!

Got one of them and unable to get more than a flower show, will not bud, just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger...................Would totally screw up the rest of the garden to mess around with a real gradual change to accomodate that plant. Not sure what to do with it at this point, just keeping it cloned until I have a new idea or can figure out a special space and light for just that plant. I want some real Thai so very badly.

48 solid hour of darkness should throw the Thai strain right into bloom.

Dad used to grow tons of it out in Bangkok when he was attending ISB. He says the trick is sharp light cutoff to force a build-up of the flowering hormone and then leave it on a 10/14 on/off schedule.

[canniwhatsis]

I've experimented with the 36-48 hour total darkness thing, I'm not convinced yet, so I want to try another blind test.


Of course, I"m not a botanist, nor do I specialize in MJ, and my strains are "iffy" at best (other than my seedlings, but with plant count limitations this strict I'm not playing with them!) :jointsmile:

[canniwhatsis]

Also, I'm not using land races,... just commonly available clone or seed.


I personally have not to date come in contact with anyone possessing a good land race,.... nearest was "Hashberry" I've got no take on that plant at the moment.

[khyberkitsune]

Technically, landraces don't have names They're usually labeled or marked CAN-# and then sometimes the region they were found is included.

Hashbery, eh? I've got some Turkey and Hungary landraces that I suspect would have excellent hash potential.
