anyone tryed dis before? - Interrupted flowering Also known as ``buddus interruptus'', the procedure is to switch the lights to 24/0 for a day or two about at the end of the fifth week of flowering, when the buds seem to stall out. It should only be done once during the crop, and for no more than two days. The best technique is to switch for one day, wait a couple of days to observe the effect, and then give it one more day if the buds haven't responded. This is not the same as ``double budding'', as the plant is never actually kicked into vegetative growth. If the plants react well, you will see tufts of additional flowering parts standing out from the sides of the buds like little towers. Done early enough, these extra parts should finish in time, and they will add extra weight to the crop. This technique can be particularly valuable in scrog, given the large number of smaller buds. A caveat is in order, not all plants respond well. Some don't react to the light change at all, and a very few may be disturbed into uncontrolled growth from the tops of the buds. You might be concerned with a tendency for male parts to be produced, but I've been practising this method for a long time, and I've never seen a ``hermie''.

well the theory makes sense, Its along the line of the lights out before harvest deal. I can see how giving it more time to react and fix itself would grow those out. I just get a little nervous when they talk about making the bud grow flowers...But that dude said hes been doing it for years without 1 hermie... shit if it doesnt go hermie then Why not. The theory makes perfect sense. you gonna try it?... I dont wanna get hermies man!...LOL

hehehe ill clear it out right now....LOL

Umm... well like i said man... it all depends on what your after?

See when you use the stretch of the flowering to fill the space your causing a few problems.

1. you will find that the plant tips wont stretch more than 2-5 inches..

2. Those shoots that are growing will come up towards the light... but will not be large buds. because the stems are babies...

you want the side shoots to grow into branches... or the beginning of them at least... not just little shoots with 3 mm stems.


ok so now as you bend and the tip grows... then you pull back down and place it on the next screen hole...as that tip is growing the shoot under it that now is next to it is trying to grow up right?.... wel thats all fine and dandy... except as you can see... they will end up being uneven... cause the neighbore has to wait for it to grow and be pulled donw before it can start growing up... Fuck i dont know if that makes sense or not....


that is why im seeing a big benifit in supercropping instead my friend.... you grow them tall and branchy... then sudenly they all get brought down...all f the shoots are now trying to grow up at the same time... but there are 10 or so up the stem.... all starting off at the same time.... Ya Dig?

to answere your question in short.

No.. fill it in ..the moment you start flowering those shoots are gonna pop and max grow 4-12 inches.

Good luck my friend.,... remember its allways easier to cut off than to add on....

do you know if this works with the purple kush or the grape kush? Damn cheetah, i didn't know there was such a method like this. I'll try this if it works with this strain, on the next batch of flowering.
