Virtual 420 celebrations

Hey folks just wondering who's going to be partaking in any virtual 420 celebrations. With so much of the country locked down and social distancing a must many 420 events are moving online. I've seen a few different things on Instagram about Facebook groups, or YouTube streams I've even seen...

Set the timer for 12/12

In house fun house

I see we are flippin today, it will be interesting to see how the yields compare your 11 plants vs my 6 plants.
I've always vegged for 8 weeks this grow only 6 weeks as the girls are pretty big for 6 weeks ( don't want to run out of head room ) I've toyed with the idea of runnin more smaller plants vs fewer large plants this will answer a lot of questions for me. May your plants grow many luscious buds covered in frost

I'll have to check them out hear they have some great offerings. So many great seeds out there. I gotta try that chem 91 you talk about so much 1 day.

Hey, cheers for a 4/20 flip! And thank you to the well wishes. Last grow was 5 GBS I'm pretty sure a 4 week veg and ended up with a little over 12oz. These are regs so I doubt that I'll get all 11 to flower but either way looking for a quick turn around, pick the best pheno and run a clone comparison sog for F2 seeds. If I get close to a pound again that would be great but it's ok if less. These ones have a pretty good stretch to them though so well see.

I would say a year of sog vs a year of well trained plants/scrog would be close to the same yield. With more plants you get less yield but also less veg time and faster turnaround for more harvests in a year while training takes more time but has a higher yield potential but it should work out to about the same weight. I see some doing the mainline and quadline but that required a long veg time for me, personally would rather run more then veg out a couple but it's just personal preference really. The most training these will get is some pinching so the side branches catch up to the main.

Here is one of the biggest girls from last time.

Not bad for a few weeks of veg and minimal training I think but not all strains have side branching like this.

Pennywise · Apr 21, 2020

I tend to take the minimalist route, top em then pull branches apart for better penetration then clean up the bottoms once stretch slows down.

BedroomFarmer · Apr 21, 2020

Yeah I agree. I did that mainline once and I think I may have accidentally "quadlined" before it was thing on here. Just took so long to get to flower, Not for me

Pennywise · Apr 21, 2020

I think my yields went up when I stopped doing all the heavy training.

BedroomFarmer · Apr 21, 2020

I definitely agree, people on here seem to love it! But I dont see many people doing it else where. Makes for a nice Bush after many weeks but i never thought the return was worth the work.

Pennywise · Apr 21, 2020

It was talking way to long to veg, most of the technical reading I’ve done advise against heavy training. Robert Clarke is one of them that say they do best if we let them grow natural. I really think a lot of strains that seem to need training should never have been released.

SOG001 · Apr 22, 2020

I do little training I top once and remove the top fan leaves to alow light to penetrate the lower buds and I have very good yields

That makes a lot of sense and what I've personally experienced. less work too to just let then go

Topping is cool, I like to pinch the mains so the sides catch up if needed but whatever works.

Here they are today

Got a new little toy, a magnetic stirrer for the nutrients. Got some Megacrop going now but got the idea from floraflex. It may need a stronger motor but not to hard to switch one out.
