that's the wickedest "caveman club" bud i've ever seen. wow. smack someone in the side of the head with that. lol
I instantly thought of "alley oop" when i read your post :mrgreen:

Any ideas on how im supposed to dry that bud when i harvest it,im worried that the density is such that if i use normal drying techniques that it will mold up on me.

Cool,can you do me a favor,if you dont mind can you update your thread about the hijack reveg with instructions on how to go about a proper reveg,im clueless as how to do a reveg,i have an idea but no experience.

I do know that i want to try & reveg the moose after she's harvested to use as a mother & see if the growth rate will carry over to her clones.

i think i said in the first post what i did. just leave as many leaves on it as you can, trim off the buds, put it back on 18/6 and give it some nitrogen. i posted new pics this morning. :mrgreen::blsmoke::peace:

I found a side branch almost completely broken off from the weight of the end bud a couple of days ago(6 weeks flowering). I mixed up a paste of rooting powder and water put on the break and tied the branch back up. Today I checked it and TAH DAH!! healed right up with a bit of a lump where it was broken. I don't know if the rooting powder made any difference but....

I went to the garden today & have nothing dramatic to report on "The Moose",the buds are still expanding but at a more normal pace,the only real change is that the trich's are now cloudy where on the last inspection they were 100% clear,still no red hairs at all.

I decided to give her another dose of the Take Root to see if it will induce new growth,last time she was fed 5 tblspoons of the hormone but this time i decided to only feed her a single tblspn with her water & normal nutes, along with 2 tblspns molasses.

With the seedlings there is nothing dramatic,the seedlings that were treated are doing great,no issues with fatter stalks or stunted growth,the leaves on the seedlings seem a little healthier over the non treated seedlings but nothing dramatic.

The treated clones show no signs of fatter stalks,no stunted growth or anything that would make them stand out from the non treated clones, except for the possibility that their leaves look a little healthier but im not sure about that either way.

Now completely healed. Still a lump where the break was but the branch is firmly attached and the buds on it are maturing nicely, will probably harvest it next week. Thanx fdd, I did not know about this until I read this thread.:hump::peace::joint::peace::hump:

So panhead how much rooting podwer did you mix into the water when you used it...and did you only use it once? :peace::blsmoke:
The plant in the pics that ive named The Moose there was one treatment,i mixed 5 tblspns of the Take Root with a small amount of water & made a paste,took a little of the paste for other experiments so i figure i was left with roughly 4 1/2 tblspns of the paste.

I mixed the 4 1/2 tblspns of paste with her water & some molasses & watered her.

I have since gave her another dose but not a massive dose like the first,i wont see the plant again until tomorrow so i'll know then if the extra dose had any effect.

...waiting for the continuing saga of "The Moose". Just awesome.

I love all the experiments. I'm sure a lot of you have already thought about this, but... a good method to end all debate would be to get about 20 plants and test them methodically. 5 in a control group, 5 given rooting hormone during veg, 5 given none during veg but during flowering, and the last 5 given hormone the whole time. I don't have enough space for that, but it would be informative I think. You could even test different kinds of hormone to see what worked better.

Cheers

The moose gave it up early this morning,Timber !

Her main cola weighed out at 171 grams trimmed & wet,her total yeild weight was 486 grams wet, not counting about 15 grams of mini hash buds.

My best untreated plant from the same strain gave a 109 gram cola with a total yeild weight of 367 grams trimmed & wet.

I think it's safe to say that the hormones had an effect on final yeild weight as well as bud size & growth rate,now i need to plan ahead & give it to my next batch of this strain at exactly the same time in the bud cycle & keep the amounts the same also.
