Lol, thanks, I don't do secrets ;)

Not sure if you have the following but they definitely made the difference for me in finishing times and how quickly they develop early on.

Timer: 11.5/12.5 (main lights)
Pre-lights-on: 1w/sq.ft of 660nm initiators (10 minutes)
At lights-off: 1w/sq.ft. of 730nm initiators (10 minutes)

I dont, im running 12/12. Im going to try copy your lighting! if you dont mind:)

Can you send me links too those initiator lights...I have never heard of such things?

Here mine at 35 days. Yours seem bulkier in comparison

Yeah, try it, it helped bring my finish times down by 5-7 days on average. I made one of them and bought the other but neither company is in business, lol, tough game. There's some good threads, one dedicated to far reds you can check out, lots of info and links there.

Buds look great, bulk/size can vary a lot by strain. A bunch of my crosses are sativa-dom hybrids that tend to put out some nice big colas/buds.

Nice, making your own seeds is a great way to save some cash and make some potential fire. Only thing with bag seed is you don't know the source so watch for hermies when you start flowering out the offspring.

I have about 8 males going right now, sats, indicas, and hybrids. I've found they flower and are ready to harvest within 20-25 days, 22-23 is pretty typical/average. If you flip your males a day or two before the females (when running them in separate areas) they'll be ready when your females are ready to take pollen. If you're open pollinating you just flip them together and they'll synch up on their own, that is the male will be ready at the same time the females are. Nature knows what's what when it comes to sex, even plants ;)

For pollinating there's a hundred ways, all you need to do is collect some of the pollen, as simple as putting a piece of parchment paper under a branch or two and tapping them (in an enclosed area of course for this method). Then take that pollen, a small artists paint brush (I buy them at the dollar store) and paint the pollen on the buds when they've hit around 3 weeks from the flip. It doesn't take a lot of pollen, and it flies around so be careful that other flowering plants that you don't want seeded are not around.

We all know the secret is beaver poop and beaver water!

Please try to be a little more understanding of the passionate Sativa people. We are few and far between. I am trying to preserve the tradition with as many of the next generation of growers as possible.

Cheers,
Mo

Lol, now you've given away my remaining secrets ;) Everyone's going to want beaver crap nutes and beaver dam water, maybe I'll get a web site up and start selling some :mrgreen:

No one here trashing sativas, specially yours, just the messenger. Cheers Mo, keep growing out those monster sativas in garbage cans :clap:

Castoreum /kæsˈtɔːriəm/ is the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American beaver (Castor canadensis) and the European beaver (Castor fiber).

Castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor anal sac. Beavers use castoreum in combination with urine to scent mark territory.[1][2] Both beaver sexes have a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands, located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail.[3] The castor sacs are not true glands (endocrine or exocrine) on a cellular level, hence references to these structures as preputial glands, castor glands, or scent glands are misnomers.[4]

It is used as a tincture in some perfumes[5]and as a food additive.[6]

Because of its scent properties castoreum has long been employed in the perfume-making industry, and processed forms of castoreum have also been used as food additives, in the latter case primarily as enhancers of vanilla, strawberry and raspberry flavorings found in products such as iced tea, ice cream, gelatin, candy, fruit-flavored drinks, and yogurt


Don't ask why I know.

These are pretty well done at day 48 from flip :shock:

I have to figure out what if anything changed other than I was running a little higher RH (55-60%) during lights on, these matured way too fast in the last coupe of weeks. Definitely some signs of neglect being away and working stupid hours. Going to give them one more watering and start pulling them Monday.

Not much left to mature on these imo.
