Orange Bud and in the bigger pots Master Kush (before being burned)

At the upper right a Master Kush getting healed

Master Kush before they all almost died because of a different soil mixture that was to hot. Instead of throwing them away, i chose to save them and give them time to heal, so far it is working on three of them.

Hey Esnero, good looking gang you have there. Good call on replanting instead of chucking, they'll pull through alot of turmoil. Good luck the rest of the way,

KIG cheers

 

[EsNero]

Hello Snidrasjed, thank-you very much, they will definitely pull through. Thank-you for the good wish

 

[EsNero]

Yesterday i potted the 5th of the Orange bud over into it's final pot. 1 Master kush at the bottom right.

Today i bended all the main stems over to the side, dunno if it will help.

Sub'd up to follow along. Welcome to 420!

 

[EsNero]

You're very welcome. Thank you.

 

[EsNero]

Yesterday i decided to supercrop my Orange bud plants, anyone knows how long i should wait before i flip to 12/12, please?

 

[Stinky Snid]

I'd say wait until she rebounds before sending her into flower. Wouldn't want her to start flowering under stress... This is merely my opinion, truth is I don't know. Hope you get a more definitive answer soon.


KIG Cheers

 

[EsNero]

We share the same opinion, will definitely wait long enough, hopefully i can switch to 12/12 next sunday.

 

[Heirloom]

I would wait for the repair 'knuckle' to form, then put it to flower.

 

[EsNero]

I will wait for that, do you have any idea how long that takes, please?

 

[Heirloom]

In a week to ten days you will look back at it and think 'wow, it healed up quick'.

My personal rule of thumb is to give them two weeks minimum before going into flower. That's for any type of training or stressing. Could be more depending on what happened. I like to see five pinnates (leaf lobes) minimum on each leaf going into flower and vigorous growth.

 

[EsNero]

Patience is the key, i guess. Definitely don't want them to hermie.

Thank-you.

 

[Heirloom]

It won't hermie doing that. You'll have to light stress it, let it go too long (over ripe flowers) or just have weak genetics. I suppose if you super cropped it near the end if flower it might induce pollen sacks on that branch. I've had plenty that flopped and kinked the stem from bud weight but didn't hermie though.

 

[EsNero]

Good to know, thank-you. Is there then a risk of a lower yield, please?

 

[Heirloom]

If a stem flops early, yes, it will affect yield on it. But they tend to do it the last couple weeks when really heavy. At that point it might be a few grams here or there because one side of a cola isn't getting the light it used to and slows development.

Be ready with support tape, string or something if you think you're going to have long tall heavy colas.

 

[EsNero]

Thank-you. And as for not waiting long enough after stressing the plants, will the yield be lower, please?

 

[Heirloom]

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. Yeah, it will effect yield on that branch. When the stem kinked, growth slowed or stopped for a little bit while it repairs the torn tissue and makes new internal pathways (xylem and phloem). If you put it to flower before the repair, it probably will not stretch the same as the others because it was not in good shape at the beginning and could not transport as much water and nutrients. It still would not hermi though, unless it had weak genes.

 

[EsNero]

No problem. It's all clear to me now, thank-you very much. You're a big help!

 

[EsNero]

Received my order of smart pots, 5 x 5 gallon, 5 x 1 gallon and the vaporizer i bought. Cant wait to use them

My plants are doing very good, growing vigorously. Each orange bud plant has 6 tops, 5 x 6, good enough for me. Pictures follow tomorrow.
