maybe it's all timing ;) I think If you have a great setup, and everything is consistent, the transition from vegging to flowering should actually be quite quick ...
General note about flowering transition: more mature plants transition better/quicker ...

Strong note on general. Some genetics will lean well enough in SOG's with min or zero veg time and all that rot. Just in general, the life-cycle of a plant mimicked into a shorted time span indoor generally benefits from some veg. Optimal growth however is not a tent/closet growers best. Even with SCROG. But one reason SCROG does really well is the health/maturity factor when switching nutes/lights going into flower.

Having to put declaratives in because this is not woo or any 'fucknuttery' ... just basic plant science on life-cycle observations other people have done in the lab on most cannabis forms.

Optimal results vary from person to person. What I like to see is considered wasteful in both time and effort. But I have definitely run fast SOG enough to know why I prefer the long take. And outdoor in general.


Righto. Just had to chime in that your timing and nutrition control with that SCROG is a good thing and I wouldn't change anything about it. And that indeed your flip point will be fast with a "mature" plant versus a seedling. Canna 101 for what it's worth.


Cheers.

cheers for that in depth reply :) Thanx for the kind words, I'm still learning lots all the time, and consider myself quite knowledgeable when it comes to growing erbs :) I also love my outdoor cannabi, overall i go for my outdoor erbs 8/10 times, simply cause it doesn't have that sleepy after effect when i wake up in the morning, i think my hydro is more potent, but my outdoor has a much more psychedelic effect, changes visuals and makes me very talkative. My indoor slams me after 1 cone, and i always feel i had too much, hard to find a balance, so my outdoor is my first preference, good thing i got bucketloads of both.
Can't wait to see how my skunk turns out, i never ever thought i'd be able to find a skunk strain myself. so i feel like superman at the moment ;)

Mature plants will also show sex prior to flowering.
All my little clones show pre-flowers within 3-4 days of planting......genetics maybe? time of cloning? not sure at all....

Men in Black 3 everyone!! as if i'm not going to watch this !!!!

I totally agree with you. I have tried putting clones from the cloner straight to flower and she didn't look too happy for a week. several leaves with light green spots and burned off but did grow afterwards. The stress is just not worth it and the yield will be small! I like to give them at least 2 weeks of Veg before the transistion.

hey flo, how often do you check your ph in your res, does it rise? and do you keep a lid on you res?

Edit: Bought a sea hawk grow tent today off ebay, now the wait :(

her Gorbzzz! no my ph doesn't rise it actually gets lower as the week progresses, it starts at around 6.6 ish, and works it's way down to around 5.8-6, as long as i flush atleast weekly, my res stays extremely consistent. I haven't been checking it lately, but last time i checked with my new ph pen it was fine.
Yes i keep a sealed lid on my res. i plumb my hoses so i can seal my lid 95% closed, it is also on the outside of my tent, in the growroom. stays fairly constant also at around 20 degrees .

good job on the sea hawk! let us know what it's like ofcourse. ebay is usually quick....

Is the perlite acidic?
no it's completely stable and neutral if washed properly. after the food gets used up in the res, it becomes unusable non-plant food (salts...which remain dissolved but aren't taken up, these are alkaline salts.) as to why i sometimes flush early, if i see the ph drop more than usual (rarely) i know it's used up the food. The foods help balance the PH. when i mix up a fresh batch I have learnt not to adjust the ph, as it drops by itself, the only time i have used ph adjusters this grow is when i used CYCO XL (super phosphoric acid) that brings the ph down to around 3-4. so you need to bump it up and watch very carefully. I was lucky this grow to get good results as my old ph pen was playing up

Can it make Time Lapse Videos???
time lapse?? i think anyone can make time lapse really, if you take enough photos of the same spot, and then post them up as a time line, same sort of thing yeah? or if you mean actually leaving the cam in there to take pics every hr or so, i wouldn't do that with this camera, you would have to leave it connected to the computer and i don't think that would be good for it. If you want to do time lapse photos, then i would suggest a webcam in there wirelessly connected to your computer, and run the cam to a power source like usb adapter maybe??? That would be cool

For time lapse videos you really need a DSLR and an intervalometer. Point and shoots really don't have the software to do it. The cheapest DSLR will likely run you $500-700 and a decent meter runs about $80-120
