1000w Coco Multi-strain Medicinal Grow

[t0rn]

IM stoked to see what happens in a few weeks.

Same here man~

Just put my ladies to bed for the first time, I'm going to turn the lights on at 11 am tomorrow and start day 1 of flowering!

My friend has a grow box and decided not to run his Giesel (G13 x Sour Diesel) anymore so he took a couple clones off his mother (so did I) and it's in the flowering room now. It came bushier than a french woman in the 70s and I had to do a lot of bottom clearing.

All in all I took 2 Romulan, 1 Kryptonite, 2 Panchota, and 2 Giesel clones today and I hope to have some better luck with these. Still waiting on 6 clones I took 12 days ago.

Awesome bro...I"m surprised the clones haven't rooted by now...but it sounds like you'll have anice harvest in a few months. Great job I"m actually going to go back and read how exactly you FIMed yours. I want to try it on one of my girls but don't know if I have the skills to do that circular cut...I was thinking maybe a "v" cut would work..thoughts?

It's not really about the shape of the cut, it's what you're cutting off. At the growing top what you'll have is a fan leaf on the outside and the 2 fetus growing nodes on the inside with another fan leaf cupping the other side. Visual aid shown here:

The picture is an easier way to do it. I don't agree with lopping off the fan leaves in the outside layer of top oval part. What I did was gently open that part and cut out what was growing under those set of baby leaves coming in. You'll cut basically where the red line is in the picture (but saving the newest set of fan leaves) leaving about 10% of the bottom of the inside part.

I'll get some pictures of the ladies in here today, it's day 1 of flowering and the Poison which was FIMmed clearly has 4 main and a couple side colas coming up into the canopy. I can see where doing this method and even topping are bad on plants that like to branch horizontally.

Visual aids rock LOL..thanks so much for this.

hey torn i try to fim four of my plants it is my first time trying this and from reading about it i know you have to leave 10 percent of the part you cut off put on two of them i fuck up and didnt leave any thing will the fim still work or what do i do

 

[t0rn]

One way or the other you're going to end up with multiple tops. The lower supporting nodes will be able to catch up.

 

[huey14]

ok so it did not matter then if i did not leave the 10 percent thanks

Ok, got some pictures from day 1 of flowering (yesterday) before I turned the lights out. Tossing some numbers up so I can keep track of how much each strain likes to stretch in flowering.

Just a shot of the room with the 1000w going.


Giesel (G13 x Sour Diesel) 21":


The Hog 21":


Panchota (bagseed) 21 1/2":


Poison 26 1/2":


Romulan 17":


Kryptonite 16":


Here's the new addition Green Crack:


Some clones that have rooted and the 3 latest bagseeds to pop out:

 

[420Marine]

solid job so far man..I see some of the clones have rooted as well..how many total are you still waiting on..do you have any mothers atm that don't have clones..just curoius b/c I"ve heard and read that if you take a clone off 3 weeks into flowering then it can go back to veg but they look terrible...I'll see If I can find a link for ya.

 

[t0rn]

My buddy had a clone off a flowering plant. Started reverting the flower structures to stems and leafs. It has a lot of single fingered leaves for a while.

Just looked and 2 more clones were rooting, the last Poison and one of the Kryptonite. I ended up taking a few more clones when I put them into flower. The newest ones were put into rockwool and I want to see how much better or worse they do. Now the clone dome has 3 Kryptonite, 4 Romulan, 2 Panchota, 3 Giesel.

Vegging I have 2 Poison, 3 Hog, 1 Kryptonite, 1 Green Crack, and 3 bagseed sprouts. Hopefully some more of the clones will be joining them soon.

Here's what the flowering clone looked like after it started to grow out, looks like if you had the inclination you could train it to have MANY tops.

lol funny you should say that..take a look at the last pic in the series of three pics..this was what I was telling you about..apprently it's callled "Monster cropping"

 

[t0rn]

I've read through "monster cropping." It's getting pretty annoying with the names.. it's just a clone that was taken from a flowering plant, nothing new. People add their own name to it and voila, you have some "guru."

It's funny to me every time I read people saying "I just used 'uncle ben's' topping technique," it's topping, plain and simple and has been done for lord knows how many years.

 

[420Marine]

Shhh with radical thoughts like that...you might get in trouble round here LOL..just joking with ya man but I hear ya as far as giving something that doesn't have a name a name, it is what it is.

The later you take a clone into the flowering phase the longer the clone takes to revert back into vegging and the harder it is to get the clone to root. Taking clones at about the 2 week mark into the flowering cycle isn't too much of an issue. The tops of the bottom nodes aren't receiving enough light and mature slower. What you don't want is a flowering top on your clone, although you could still get it to grow normally again, it would just take longer. I plan on clearing out the bottoms of the plants at the 2 week mark and it would be a shame to just throw it all away, so I'll be getting more clones then as well.

I'm trying to take all of these clones, which were all from a single plant (6 strains), in order to not have to keep mothers. So far I've taken multiple clones off each plant and I don't see the need for having a mother around. They take up more space than I'm willing to give them.

Taking old info and calling it your own rant off-

I can already see this guy making a thread "Grandpa Retards MONSTER CROPPING Method." When it should have said, "I took a clone from a flowering plant, big deal."

Day 3 of flowering now, I'm noticing the pre-flowers at all the inter-nodal sites are going nuts.

Quick question for you pros, do you start bloom nutes when you start to flower or do you hold off for a week and then start the bloom nutes?

Major HMK's Multi-top cropping! haha, just had to add my tidbit, Hey i notice that plant a few posts back! looks like mine!

I dunno :/ heh

Couple Kryptos have rooted now and are in 1 liter containers, still waiting on the Romulan. I took 2 extra Romulan in the rockwool, so I have some hope for them at least.

Page 19 has the start of flowering. The next picture update will be at the 1 week into flowering mark.
