Need some/suggestions help!! as so far things are not working well........ We have Northern lights, Big bud, Sweet dreams and Fast and Furious growing as MOMS.. all in different stages.....
The seeds were obtained at BC BUD which shipped and supplied with no problem at all.
Sex has been determined but we have now discovered that males in the Northern lights do exsist.
Our commercial grower ( for smoke/medical club ) ( customer ) uses (3) Three 4 x 6 tables with 1000 watt HPS.. ( 84 plants per table ) we clone in 1" rockwell and after the proper rooting has occurred he transfers to 4 " cubes and maintains 18/6 light period until roots appear at bottom of the 4" cubes. At this point the light period changes to 12/12.......flowering must be complete at 50-53 days.
When the MOMS were about 3-4 months we took about 90 clones and gave them 30 of the Big bud Sweet dreams and Northern lights Having visited the bud room several times it was surprising to see that all of our plants grew much taller and stronger then the plants that were on the other (2) two tables ( Chronic ) As of the last couple of days the males had showen up and we removed them and the balance of the plants sweet dreams and big bud are flowering and will produce some results but the buds are spaced apart and do not appear to be that tight .
Our goal is to find a plant that will remain low 24 inches and produce 20 grams per plant everytime and finish in 52 days. The overall smoke quality is not as important as the yield. ( quite a few members that share in the crop and expenses ) What is a bit frustrating is that the seeds that were chosen and ordered .. were suppose to meet the criteria.. short plants , high percentage Indica, quick finishing times etc.etc. and because they are from seed we thought the genetics would produce stronger plants... bigger buds
We have also noticed that when we cust the clones from some of the older MOMS ( 4-5 months ) some trays root very well on the 7th or 8th day and some take much longer WHY?
I have more to say but I believe that this give's some idea of the problems and will get this thread started..
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated
Thanks
