How would you even begin to contain a plant vegged for 40 + days in RDWC?
I'll have 12 foot ceilings by than so I'm good.people can veg for a week if they want but they have to have there plant picked at 50 days.this is what I was saying.will be a good way to keep it honest and a growers ability to eyeball a good plant and pick his trophy 100 day contest.a contest of grow and instinct.the 50 day limit will also keep people from vegging 2 months.than we can all compare 100 day old plants finished.also the growers can have a pretty good feel of the plants cause if the veg 2 weeks they will still have a month to pick the one they want.they can veg for a month if the like but will only leave 5 weeks to flower.will keep everyone honest and be an actual contest on grower ability and not so much a contest of genetics
Im Trying to keep it simple right now.Re: contest. Sometimes what begins as an interesting and fun idea, ultimately ends up being an extremely regrettable decision.
Some people would luck out and pick what turns out to be one of the best examples in their batch. There's no "instinct" for divining what will be the best plant from vegging. If we all just get the one and have to choose it before even knowing what it does then the whole thing is a total craps shoot.
I completely disagree.Ive been able to tell a keeper 2 weeks into flower.You can see the leaves and calyxs under a microscope and look at the over all growth and vigor.Ive rarely had a garbage plant in veg turn out to be a prized champion in the garden.They usually continue down the same pattern of circling the drain and turn out to be garbage,Not saying it NEVER happens but normally strong plants in veg covered up in trichs under a microscope turn out to be good plants.
Also running warmer lights off temps will keep them down some.
under a microscope.I discovered it years ago looking for mites.tiny bubbles.Some have way more than others.take a leaf sample from different plants and look under a 50x microscope.you will see some have way more than others.trichs are a genetic predisposition.Small environment variables can increase them but the genetic still has to be there.
I've got plants in solo cups right now under 30 days from getting seeds wet that have trichomes visible to the naked eye.
Next ill be told genetics dont have shit to do with trichomes.Will be good to know so i can throw away all my moms and start mixing trichome juice and unicorn piss to sprinkle on my plants.
I didn't catch the microscope part. I'm running on no sleep after a double that went late last night. That's why I deleted that post. That and because smart ass comments never turn into anything good.
That Cherry Lime Haze, FPOG, Sundae Driver, Wedding Cake, and Stardawg BX2 all look good. Will probably get at least 2-3 packs of each depending on the 4/20 sale

I wasn't trying to stir the pot either
Without magnification all you're going to see on something at that stage is the cystolith hairs.
I've had plenty of plants from seed that looked very disappointing in veg next to their sisters. I've even considered culling them. I never did cull them and I've never regretted it. I've even had some major surprises. I've also had plants from seed that were carbon copies in veg and completely different in flower.
Gotta disagree friend. These are globes that can be seen with the naked eye under HPS. You can see the difference between hairs and globes in the pic I provided.
