You'll notice in my grow log there are 3 gallon pots with holes around the edge - This is setup to turn my girls into a funnel from the time I start to veg, basically, I will start bending as soon as they are no longer seedlings, bending the main branch (and topping it) and tying down all the sub branches, so when my 1' girls start to flower, they'll only be about 7" tall, but they'll grow in a spiral, creating a funnel of buds. I can get away with this because I have great lighting, and underbrush lighting as well. If you don't have great lighting, you can do the exact same thing, in more of a pine cone shape, tying your branches to the edges, and getting smaller as it goes up instead of larger, mine will look like a tornado, while ones with lesser light would look like an upside down cone.

Since your bending your plant slightly, and as it grows, it won't be as stressful, with a much lower chance to hermie. Also, I've noticed people that use this method, have much longer and denser popcorn buds from the undergrowth that are actually worth keeping
low_rdr Reviewed by low_rdr on . Typical time from seed unitl flowering?? It seems like a lot of people on here are growing with clones. I've heard growing from seed is a pain but it was the only available option I had at this time. My question is what is the typical time it takes to grow from a seed before you start flowering? My plants are about 6 weeks old and most are a foot tall and I will be transplanting the last few into larger containers soon. They all look pretty healthy and green. I do have 2 clones which are much taller but leaves are smaller and less Rating: 5
