about how much do you yield from each plant? and how long do you veg them for after rooting, about how tall are the clones before u put into flowering? this info would be great. thanks buddy.
I asume were talking about top 44 here correct ?
I only grow the top 44 strain in a rotating sea of green type grow & my yeilds are pretty low to suite my style of growing them which is set to achieve max floor space.
I cut large clones from my mothers & use shultz take root cloning powder along with peat plugs for the cuttings to root in,i alow then to sit under a humidome for 3 days then i remove the top of the humidome & let them sit another week,i do not mist the cuttings,this slows down rooting,it normally takes me 10 days to have clones with good sized root systems,after that they are placed in 3.5 quart pots of soil & they go straight into 12/12 for flowering.
I strip away any lower branches & only allow the top cola to grow out,my yeilds are right around 3/4 ounce per plant,some colas hit a full ounce but most do not with the average being 3/4 ounce per plant,not high yeilds per plant but im not looking for that.
Ive compared several other strains in my sog to see which strain was best suited for my needs,i ran big bud as well as critical mass & critically smashed in the sog op & by far top 44 was the best suited.
Now for the full sized plants,i also grow critically smashed in a full size plant grow,these are not high yeilding plants but the bud is out of sight,i allow the cutting to root for 7 to 10 days then veg the clone for one full month,after that they go into bud,my yeilds are right around 1.5 ounces per plant,ive thrown a few extra top 44 cuttings in that room when i had a little extra space & allowed them to grow out like the Smashed strain,the yeilds were over 2 ounces per plant both times i have done this with one month veg time.
I could see pulling a quarter pound from top 44 if it was allowed to veg for 6 weeks,not harvested too early & allowed to pack on weight right up till the end,the top 44 strain will put on bud weight when you think its just about finished,when you watch the trichomes & they start turning honey colored they will have another growth burst if you allow them to push past the initial coloring of the trichomes,this is where top 44 goes from being good smoke to fantastic smoke with a knock out buzz.
