I'm sorry but I feel like I'm being attacked.
I have been growing for close to 20 years now. I know just about everything in the books when it comes to growing. There are some new and odd techniques I am not very aware of, thus I came here for some advice. Maybe I should elaborate a tad:
Most people I know that monster crop do it with clones. This is because you can treat every plan like a mother. Before you cut down your harvest, about a month and a half before, you simply save a branch to replace it by revegging it.
From what I have seen, tons of nodes pop up at the base, and topped off with some FIMing you get one hell of a monster. The reason I am concerned with using a whole plant that is about 2 feet tall is because EVERYTHING online talks about using clones. My plant has way more nodes than a standard clone. Many things can go differently because I havent heard of this happening before. Will every node explode with more nodes like the standard clone? Will the growth be stunted because it is focusing on so many areas at a time it simply cant keep up? Will this not be the case and explode with a massive appetite and grow at an extraordinarily rate?
I don't know. I can make educated guesses, but I can't be certain. Clearly something is happening that is exploiting the natural genetic emergence and causing this glitch when you monster crop in the first place. I just want to know if any one else knows how this works on a much larger plant. It could go the exact opposite way, and just cripple the plant to the point of not having it worth my time.
I didn't feel as if I needed to wright a lengthy description of my concerns because I am just really looking for some one who has monster cropped a large plant before. I'm pretty positive it will be fun and beneficial, but I am not certain. Which is why I am asking questions. Never be afraid to ask questions.
