Re: Broken stem

When CFL's say same out put as..whatever.

Thats how much light they put out compaired to an incandesent.

You have 2x4x20=160 watts, not 800.

Re: Broken stem

Noobies right. You only count the actual wattage, not what they are equal too in the incadescent world.

Re: Broken stem

ok
well that's kinda messed up isn't it

bit misleading as well seeing how they advertise these as being equal to 100w

Re: Broken stem

I just read in a thread here somewhere that Home Depot has some 100watt Compact fluoros that are equal to a 1k incadescent. Those would work excellent for you. I use two 65 watt ones that equal 500watt incadscents. Maybe you should look into the Home depot lights. The ones I use came from Lights of America

Re: Broken stem

ok ok ok, the plant itself is resiliant as all hell and we all know it! just stake the damn thing, tie it to the stake. use a cloth tape as bandage for the snapped areas , and it will b fine.keep it on flower and grow it out!! oh yeah and stop tryin to turn it into a f*****g pretzel, maybe that would help. and foliar feed too.

focus on teh fact that its a plant, genetics cellular make up and all, its designed to survive!! jsut help it out a bit

Re: Broken stem

That's actually a form of LST growing. you squeeze the stem until you feel the hurd break and the stem becomes slightly mushy. Bend the plant over and tie it into place if it is required. After a couple of days a sort of knuckle forms at the crush site. I've done this at least 1000 times and never lost a branch or bud from it. Now when the whole stem actually split apart...well that's another story all together.lol
Great pics longisquama.

Re: Broken stem

wow.
that's agressive training then!
gotta say it's a bit amazing to see this plant just 'bounce back' as if nothing happened!

 

[Sinista2006]

Re: Broken stem

whoa. but are there any real benefits to 'supercropping' over succesfully lowstresstest ? certainly the lower the stress the plant is subjected to the better it grows? amazing stuff though!

 

[Racefan]

Re: Broken stem

It's another form of controlling growth and it has been proven for years to work. Some say the breaking of the hurd actually helps with the intake of nutrients and the low amount of stress that is there is supposed to help with resin content (although I'm not sure of this)

 

[Sinista2006]

Re: Broken stem

i can't believe this still falls into the category 'low stress testing' !!!

It promotes groth below the damage.

...would you then say this action actually buys the plant more time for the lower buds on the bottom to fatten up/take in more water/nutrients ?
