Reversing Flowering stage

[Nugachino]

Next grow, if you're trying to determine sex, wrap a branch with light proof cloth, paper, whatever and see that that one branch gets 12 hrs of light. It will show sex soon enough without the entire plant going into flower.

Not trying to thread jack. But does covering a branch like that really work?
I've never heard that one.

I have tried it personally and yes it does. Doesn't seem to affect the rest of the plant either, which is ideal.

Well then. Next time I've got a plant I want to check. I'll keep this in mind. Cheers Dannyboy

To sex, you can also just snip a cut and stick it in 12/12 in a prop....it'll probably show sex before it roots. Never heard of the selected branch light dep, but these plants are pretty amazing so I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

i believe some folk have classed cloning from a flowering plant as 'monster cropping'. This is due to the fact that if you take a flowering clone and then clone that in an 18/6 light schedule it will root and also reveg creating very bushy plants.

this is the clone after one week... pistils have been replaced by leaves and it appears that it might just make it... I have the mother plant re-vegging along with the clone on 24 hour light for the past nine days... new leaves are forming in place of the pistils.. thanks for all the help with this newbie... it is appreciated... Peace
