This is complete bullshit. Loss of vigor is actually poor plant management resulting in stunting or bonsai. I've been cloning from clones for years. No ill effects at all.
Cutting 3 weeks off flowering time

Yields go down after years of this. Tried true and tested

2-3 lb per 1000w 6-7 times a year depends on what strains

Uh, nope. I've been pulling record numbers with strains that have been cloned many times over the course of years. Did it MYSELF.

I have too, like 7 years running. Yields better then ever.

Just did a rack turnaround in three hours. We were short handed and slackin', usually takes only two.

May I ask what kind of hydro set up you have and what method? Great thread. Thanks.

@Chillin chillin sorry if i missed it, was it only 1 pheno you chop down at week 7? Would you happen to have any macro trich shots of that pheno after/during chop?

Chillin, I recently read an article that showed the cannabinoid levels of weed at various stages of flowering and it showed that there's quite an increase between 7 and 8 weeks but then it gets much slower from 8 to 9 and slowest from 9 to 10. So maybe waiting one more week would be worthwhile. They only had a table for high CBD strains, but it shows the total cannabinoids and that would be similar in high THC strains.

What strain did they use to make that table? It's a well known fact that different strains mature at different rates.Chillin, I recently read an article that showed the cannabinoid levels of weed at various stages of flowering and it showed that there's quite an increase between 7 and 8 weeks but then it gets much slower from 8 to 9 and slowest from 9 to 10.

I suppose, though I have yet to see one that really ripens at 7 weeks. Might exist, just haven't seen it yet.

UV would probably not touch it with the amount of air brought in for that setup. Even one at intake would be useless as only the air passing within a few inches is sterilized, just an FYI is all.

Great thread if only for time it takes to share, not getting involved in the finish times though, I'm still trying to get enough not to run out and have to pull early lol.

I have a friend who cuts at 45-47 days and has for 20 years. In fact he's growing mostly strains I gifted him when he ran into hard times.
Yes he gets more harvest per year but I get the same weight as he does running a single 600 to 63 days as he gets from 2 600's.
And I'm pulling1.5-1.6 lb.'s from a strain I've been cloning off of for 10 years in a 4x4 under a 600.

With the UV air purifier, it's intended to kill the mold spores in the air. I easily avoid bud rot just with a PC fan in a small grow chamber. It's not hard to avoid, you just keep the air moving enough.

I don't get it either .,.. Well I hope not lol, I'll have to look closer
. Just clarifying that with the amount of airchanges a typical room has UV is useless IMO, hell Im skepticle they work in a house lol. With a sealed room running CO2 they would be great because eventually all the air would pass by (theoretically). Sorry for blabbing on....stoned

I got the air cleaner to remove odors mainly. The UV is supposed to oxidize organic vapors with a titanium catalytic element. It's also supposed to kill airborne pathogens. Whether or not it actually does that, don't know. Seems like a good idea to have some kind of air purifier around. Bud rot though is a air movement and cold temps related problem. It's caused by condensed water vapor in the buds.I don't get it either .,.. Well I hope not lol, I'll have to look closer
