Do you know how/when to stress your plants to increase flowering?
[close]
Drop that knowledge, please! (if you are a bad bad boy)

Light manipulation, adding co2 when done correctly works too. Key is not too much light intensity. If you can't figure that part out adding co2 is pointless.

As I mentioned, gentle twists of the stalk improves yeild big time but I usually only do this on lower yeild sativa strains.

If you have experience you can use subtle technique in veg stage as well to train your plants.

Also, a good time is(for indoor) make sure your plants aren't reaching for light. This is a common mistake. Your lighting system is obviously important, but so is proximity to the plant. You don't want it too close(burn) too far (reaching). You need to find a good balance.

Lst and scrOG are methods you can Google. Easy and free plant manipulation/training

I'll drop some more shit later and maybe some more pics

Picture a man growing corn outdoors, that's my endeavor. That being said, yield ain't no issue!
i know with outdoor, I can only get so good.
I just want to make my stuff taste better. I am very sure that I am curing it to spec.
I got beef with Brian sumner and it’s onsite for that fat fucking red coat.

2-plant guy here... Yeah, I'm growing outdoors so I don't have much control over a lot of variables. Just soil, food/feeding schedule, pot size, etc.

I did top the plants 3 times and they split off successfully. I didn't do any additional stressing though. I read about it and didn't really feel my limited understanding of it would help my grow.

This season I'm going for 3 plants. My friend gave me the feminized seeds. They are called purple bud or something super generic. They did grow purple, so it makes sense. He got them for free and passed them on to me.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Use the other doods advice for two/3 plants outside.

With his medium, you wont overfeed.

Other than that, watch for bugs/mites

If I can find some coir locally I'll try it... but watering several times a day probably won't work with my schedule, so I'm a little dubious about that.

Thanks again guys.

Fuck yeah, those bud pics are amazing. I would really like to make some rosin and oil out of them purple buds. They look extremely juicy and promising for great yields.

  the biggest yield you can possibly get from a plant will be from natural sunlight.  Some basic tips from an experienced but comparably ignorant weed grower;  don't put them out too early and if you do, put a strong led light on them at night till june 21 (to be safe).  IF you put them out early and they're not getting enougl light they might think its fall and go into flower for a while till they figure things out.  This is stressfull on your plants and will reduce your quality/yield.  Also get a jewlers loop to inspect the trichomes in the fall and harvest when you got 20% amber.  Don't dig holes just make a pot from something like a garbage can and put holes in it -this will help prevent over watering.

A few holes in a bucket won't prevent over waterering with soil, so be careful. This can cause nutrient lockout and it's hard for the roots to expand in an over soaked soil.

If the medium is CoCo or something similar it's impossible to overwater, but the added bonus is flushing out nutrient buildup which could burn the plants and or throw off pH.

Yes a 1/100th is necessary for pest/prevention, better yet a 1/1000th. Obviously check daily for bugs.

As for yeild, just good seed/genetics and proper maintenance coupled with a tad knowledge and preventative actions and you'll get good yield.

I'm glad you upped it to 3, because it's pretty common at first to lose a plant or two which would absolutely suck if you only have two plants. 3 plants just kinda gives you a back up, or things go right and you get more cannabis! Win/win

If you buy nutrients, remember to only use half of what's recommended(I think somebody else mentioned that?)

Good luck. Youll do great. If you didn't feel nervous, that's when if be worried.
One of my Buddies put it all on the line to go commercial. Put in some hard work, and a few years later ended up in Forbes for selling a medicated drink co to DixieElix for FU cash.i think they bought it just so he wouldn't compete, or that was his plan at the beginning.  It literally is the Green rush days.

Anyone here building their own LEDs right now? I'm almost committed to it for this new space. The huge ride in electricity costs with this last move is almost forcing it, and with the rise in LED tech, it's almost decided for me.  Anyone with experience?

Thanks man! And kuddos to your buddy!

I'm doing R&D on the CBD aspect as well so I'm going to be busy as fuck.

At least it's enjoyable

Should be a fun experience in all!

And FYI you'll see some new products on the market soon!

  I said the holes would "help prevent" -compared to a hole in the ground which may not have adequate drainage the garbage can with the holes is better.  "help prevent" is not "will prevent"

Ok, I found some coir locally. They have the bricks and the big bags. Is one better than the other? The price is about the same base on the amount of liters it comes out to in the end.

  Do call and find out weather the coir you got has had the salt taken out.  If not leave t out for a couple of rainstorms or hose it.  The salt will fuck everything up.

Disagree here. I've only ever grown indoor, but the strongest bud I've ever had has been Souther Oregon sun grown. There's something to be said for what the sun provides that we haven't been able to replicate with indoor grow lights.

Bag appeal is the primary difference once you've got it down. Put the best outdoor you find up against the best indoor and the indoor will always look better IMO, but as far as the quality of bud outside of appearance a goes, outdoor can be just as good.


What's your flush, dry, cure process like?

Yep! 8 of my top 10 flower we're grown outdoor

Obviously indoor grows have way more control and 5hus bag appeal flourishes with indoor grows.

I'm jealous of those outdoor growers for alot of reasons, just not for plant inspection

Have fun looking for sleep for awhile 😂.

Are you getting to build out a new spot, or are you taking over an existing space? Trying to salvage a couple thousand incredibly poorly designed square feet (with backers who didn't understand the process and just wanted to capitalize) was as big as I got, and it was worth every headache, even if it did totally fail because they refused to spend the cash to solve problems before they were problems.


What LED's are you gonna run? I don't think it's a matter of growers being unwilling to adapt (okay, it is with a ton of growers), but the results just weren't there a few years ago. I'll be looking to get back up and running on a small level, but haven't started checking new tech yet. I'd love to know what LEDs you've seen comparable results from. I was excited about CMH but didn't have a chance to test it before shutting down a few years back.

Lol, well if I was gonna lose sleep at 1000 plants I'm really going to lose sleep now.

We just purchased an existing 25,000sq foot facility that's practically brand new. Doesn't need any work other than set up.

But now.... Things keep changing. Talk is now of another brand new facility capable of 30,000 plants and now we have to expand on my team.

LED is brand new to me, but I've witnessed one grow on vipar Spectra 1200's and it's fuckin downright impressive.

Right now, we are still discussing as a team, which to choose and trying our best to calculate all things. It's clearly an important decision for the business, the plants and the growers so I don't want to fuck anything up.

This is already becoming a 12 hour work day and all it is at this point is discussion, phone calls, emails and government regulations.

I can't wait to just get set up and grow.

I'm all ears if you have solid suggestions however, and I think it's great chatting with a fresh perspective on the topic of lighting

I should have owed $300 in taxes this year. But my buddy clued me in to his tax lady. All my medical marijuana can be used as a write off or something like that. And I'm getting $2200 back. Finally, a loophole for me.
