I've seen other reports of flower cuts going haywire by others before, so it may be a chance, but it is the exception rather than the rule. As in veg, take multiple cuts so you can be sure to get one that's good (my flower success clone rate is about the same as my veg rate) --but the cutting being different is going to be rare unless the mom is under stress or the cutting is not treated properly. It does take time for the reveg to take -- intermediate growth will NOT look like mom. I've seen rounded leaf edges like normal plants before the reveg fully takes. You gotta wait it out til the original returns. That's why I said it's not worth the wait... even first reveg growth is not normal usually then it returns to normal after a week or two in the intermediate stage. If you don't have the patience to play it out, revegged cuts or flowered plants are not for you.
If you've got no other choice than to lose an awesome plant, why WOULDN'T you take cuts even to see, know what I mean? Worst case scenario is no worse than losing the plant completely. You just gotta be on the ball and take and keep up with your veg cuts so this is not necessary A lesson I learned after a round of taking flower cuts almost exclusively.
Handling... touching your buds all the time, roughing them up. if you jar them up and you are gentile with the process you will retain that look. The moment someone puts it in a baggy or handles it too much the heads get smashed.they sure as shit wouldn't delete mine
I got a question for sub and some of the more knowledgable nerds... I notice a lot of sub's flower shots on the weed nerd the trichs REALLY stand out at a distance from the bud almost like little hairs. Most bud I see (both mine and others on this site) the trichs are small and retract close to the bud on drying. Most people's buds are covered in sugar. Sub's and one or two others seem to be covered in little sugar redwood forests. I seem to remember some bud I got a long ways back that was like that was reaaaaal potent. Never see bud like that here normally in the occupied republic of texas.
A) What causes this difference? Is it in the drying or the growing?
B) Does it affect potency or just looks?
If this is something you don't have time to post about sub, would be more than happy to see you address it in a future weed nerd.
i know you're joking but i'm not... in my experience so far everything TGA puts out has tons of resinYou make the trichs really stand out by adding sugar. You add sugar by punching the sharpness button.
these are some of mine -- they look great to me of course, but they do not look as great to me as sub's - to me most of the buds I see on the weed nerd look like the stalks of the trichs are like twice as tall as mine and stand tall like proud trees... could just be rougher handling possibly, and certainly my grow conditions are not as optimal as subs... i've seen lots of great flowers posted but very few that have that distinctive look to the trichs that sub's does. i don't have near the experience or skill level of sub, just hope to get there someday -- gonna be a while since i am not growing currently doesn't take my curiousity away
Had a feeling some of it may be strain related too, but seems like most of sub's stuff has that great look At least tga genetics make those of us newer at it look better than we are... the non-tga strains I've grown out this year -- not one was as good as any TGA strain I grew in my opinion in terms of looks or potency -- actually that's not true white russian from serious was pretty damn good in all respects but the rest i would've rather had tga stock in there.
VERY good point
i almost wanted to trade places with a spider after watching last weed nerd -- that sucker was TO' up from the flo' up. imagine your first ever high being sub's stuff... no wonder dude passed out.
That's Space Dawg, came from a 5 pack (2 females) not the frostiest one in my stable... wait for jillybean in 2-3 weeks.
