" Most people who grow for money chop early "

if your growin for money wouldn't you want to chop late rather than early? due to weight increase?

Day 54 today all the smaller branches that didnt get staked are falling down from weight. Trichs are still mostly clear so begins the flush. I will be flushing for approx 6-7 more days then it's into a 48 hour dark period until harvest. It's getting close :)

Once most of the growth is over they cut down to increase productivity. look at it this way. You vegged for three weeks and flower for 9. They would just put 64 plants under a light and bud right away 7 weeks later they chop. 7 weeks per crop vs 12 weeks. do the math per year. they get around 6 a year and you get around 4.

Smiley, okay gotcha now. Total crop time is dramatically reduced that way, yes, but if a grower veg's somewhere else on a 3-4 weeks sched. Than just transfers newly vegged clones into the flowering chamber every 8 weeks on the dot, it'd be the same deal minus the week equalling more bud in less space due to the veg time, using less plants. Lol but this is commercial growing we are talking and everything goes. I'd like to think I'm somewhere in the middle.

Thanks Bonk Kong Man! I'm gonna check you out after this. I have 32 x 3" plants. I'm hoping for 3-4 pounds but have accepted I may get less due to having that really high heat for alot of the growth. Although, the density on those buds is shocking, they are like 3 inch wide rocks. Really, really sticky rocks lol. I will have a wet weight report in about a week or so. For now it's just 3-4 more flushes, next with molasses then the rest pure water until harvest time. Did I mention that I lowered the temps at night dramatically (57-58) with my portable a/c unit? It's turning alot of the leaves purple. Hopefully the buds take on a bit of purple hue hehe Well that's all for now I'll throw some pics up soon, try to get some good ones up :bigjoint:

ciao fo now ~ BCbuddy :leaf:

UPDATE DAY 57 FLOWERING/ DAY 1 OF WEEK 9:

Okay guys...this is getting to the finale~ this is the last update I will be doing before I do a harvest spread :weed: I will be starting my multi-staged harvest ( due to amount of trimming) on day 60. Harvest pics will be in a few days. I have 3 flushes into them sofar, last one just pure water, no molasses. One more flush to go then no more water, period.Each set of plants that will be harvested will be kept in a 48 hour dark time until trim. Here's the last pics of my girls while they are alive and intact;







this is one of the smaller buds that is going purple quite a few are turning














two smaller branches that were cut early and trimmed

So I gotta know....I know this is gonna come off wrong but. How does putting them in two days of darkness help?? I know people say that you will get more trics but how does that make sense?? It takes around 6 days for trics to form....I know the theory says your plant will be forced to produce trics to boost potency. But again how does the plant magically produce them faster because it's being stressed??

It actually has nothing to do with more trichs. I am doing this to speed up the amber in the trichs. It is a fact that when placed in 24-48 hours dark the plant will mature more than a plant under regular lighting. That is all I'm doing. The reasons for this haste is harvest is my own business and if i didnt have to I wouldn't even use this method, just trying to speed things up at the end. I have read multiple threads about this and yeah it's a phalacy overplayed to say the least, but, it does quicken things up :) BTW I have been looking with a 30x magnifier and I have more than enough trichs already and people trying to pull these majic tricks out of their asses for the final days before harvest are idiots, or just plain misguided dudes. I believe in maximizing the minimals, if you get me bro :bigjoint:

Thank you for the info. I didn't know that at all. I hope you didn't think I was trying to be rude. I think you know what you're talking about and I've learned a lot from you for my own grows. Do you own your own dispensary??

naw man, I didn't catch even a whiff of rudeness :) I do not own a dispensary, that would be a pretty large leap for a first time grower ;) I grow for me and whoever ends up smoking all this chronic bud i sell lol Thanx for the compliment man :D I think I just have a knack with plants and I have the ability to sift through all the garbage and know what really is needed for the plants to grow properly. Nothing special man. Proper lighting, nutrient administering, pest control, ph control, good genetics, proper temps and humidity and all the other basic shit needed to produce a crop. Next grow is going to be a SOG grow with less wattage but I plan on getting a bigger harvest. I'm just a beginner who really did his homework and spent the neccessary money to do it properly, that's all. Any help you need with growing just ask, NP :)
