thats why im starting 2 plants every 2 weeks, but im still waiting for my first harvest, about 5 to 6 weeks to go then 2 plants every 2 weeks, depending on strain.
it will be so good, to have a plant a week to smoke.
im aiming for 1 to 2 oz a plant, maybe more, due to all my topping.
but yes 1 oz a week would do fine.
what do you say?.
Are you gonna make some seeds crazy,just use clones or buy more seed all the time?

might use the 250 hps for a couple of mothers.
what would you use for mothers.
big bang
arjans strawberry haze
pakistan valley
ice
indigo
ak48

If it was me i would breed durbanxbigbangxice and indigoxarjansxvenus.
Ak48 would be really easy to keep a constant supply of clones from and so would durban.
So i would breed durban with bigbang then recross the results with ice and indigo with arjans and then recross the result with venus:blsmoke:

If this is the first time you have fimmed then all though it takes a bit longer to start flowering you should notice a lot more crystal development imo as the plant has basically been attacked i am a great believer in the fact that among other things thc,resin,crystals etc. are part of its defense system.
Apparently a 36 hour dark period before 12/12 flowering can help to kick start flowering if you need them to come on quickly.
Obviously 36 hrs darkness is a trade of on the growth you would have achieved and the speed in which you want them to show sex.
When you attack the plant,fimm it,it puts our more tops in defense,then more fimming more top more oil more thc etc.
This is all just my opinion though and i have no evidence:blsmoke:

if i poll. a female with a male, do you have to keep the female, that has been pollenated, away from the rest of the females, that are not poll.
i know the male has to be seperate, but after i poll a fem. can i put it back with the other girls?.or will it need time away or a room of its own?.like the male.

I just get the tiniest spread of pollen on my finger and wipe it across a lower bud.
The grease of my finger stops any from dropping off my finger and leaves no stray pollen anyway.
If your worried about it though just wait 12 hours and then spray the pollinated bud with water from mister to negate and small particles that may be left:blsmoke:

been thinking about what you said.
and the plants make thc for some reason.
and saying they grow thc as a defense, sounds, realistic.
one to think about.

regarding the plants defenses - check out the paper Chemical Ecology of Cannabis (D.W. Pate 1994) - I have learned a lot from this an other references from that paper.

some flower pics,
these fem plants,
are deffo not hermie yet.
i thought i may have to sling these, but they are doing fine, as are the rest of the flowering females, all 11, of them.
they have streatched a little, but i wanted them to a bit, cos every plant has a min of 3 to 8 main colas, and im going to concentrate on just them parts of the plants.
3 to 8 donkey dicks per plant.
