check this sh*t out

[Gengar]

Yeah it is possible, im sure you can localise the flowering period. I thought up a similar idea were you could have a branch growing out a hole in the side of your veg chamber into a small 12/12 chamber. But your idea looks much better.
I didn't think about the nutrient side of things tho, I wouldn't know what to do there. Possibly alternating waterings of flower and veg food?
Nice idea. Big Ups

 

[Gengar]

I wouldn't turn it back to 18 hrs tho, i seen reports of ppl doing this and it seems to stress the plant into a hermaphrodite and apparently lose potency.
You could always jus cut the budding half of the plant down, then grow half the remaining vegetive side into the 12/12 side, and repeat. Hope you get what I mean

You'd still have to switch the lighting in order to get it to "re-veg", since the plant would most likely be hard to move. Nutrients would be simple, just use a 5-5-5, 7-7-7, 10-10-10. Something like that. And if you felt you needed to, you could always foliar feeding. The biggest issue that I can come up with would be trimming down the roots after a couple harvests. But most likely that issue would be solved when designing the structure.

Yes, half of the plant would bud and the other wouldn't if that happened, in Jorge Cervantes Marijuana Growers Bible there is a picture of just that situation where a plant outdoors was half lit up with a street lamp and the other half was shaded and continued to flower. Half bud half veg, its possible, but truly economical? No.

It has to be uniform....This plant would be so stressed and hermaphroditic it would be a travesty to all things grown and smoked

Well, I've committed more than a few abominations against God, nature, and all things holy, this wouldn't even rank up. Maybe u just lived a sheltered life?
I think the idea has promise.....either that or how about this? you have box in the middle of the grow room lit 18/6, on either side, or all for sides have strips of mylar, kind of like the setup you see in restaurant freezers with the hanging plastic, and have them velcro at the bottom. outside of that box have the flowering light, that way you could choose which branch you wanted to flower by training it out of the box...would prob be the definition of inefficient though

Take your brain out of the box it resides in. Just because half of a plant is "Veg" and the other half is in "Flower" doesn't mean that it would be stressed or hermaphrodite.? Have to keep in mind, plants have tons of "brains" not just one. They multi-task very well.

This isn't a debate about "would" it work. They science behind it shows it would work fine. The debate is the best way to go about doing such a thing.

What would you do about the different nut requirements of each stage of growth?? Good idea, not feasible.

actually two other posters offered solutions for that problem...you came to the show late...BUT NO REFUNDS...

Love how people just come in and completely shoot it down. All I have to say is "Keep having fun growing in your closet..."

†LOL† Is it just me, or does there seem to be ALOT of people that spend most of their time here doing just that?

Well some of are thinking and doing.

I just started a new experiment.

Gonna go fishing in my reservoir.

Yep.

Picked up 6 Goldfish today.

Got em home, gave em a temp home to adjust and have been lowering the #'s to
match 3 of my res's.

Took my BlueLabs tri meter with. Checked the aquarium at Petco,

2000 ppm
7.1 ph
68f

I now have them in a container and the #'s are,
350 ppm
6.8 ph
68f

no floaters yet.

Tuesday I will put them into the reservoirs, should be adjusted by then.

Screw the box, I'm a bubblehead.
I'm thinking INSIDE the res.

Thank you for sharing with the group....

 

[BoomerBloomer57]

again,

we never go over 650 ppm.

They came out of water at 2000 ppm.

Guys, I drink the water out my reservoirs on a daily basis.

The major adjustment is the ph.

right now I have it down to 6.2 with no floaters

When it gets to 5.8, those fishes' go in.

Sit back and grab a chair, I'm doing it and posting pics of it.

Success or failure,
fortune smiles upon the bold,,,,,,,

thats the one.

all fish are in one cooler now.

Yep... They think they know how to grow like a pro because they watch a few videos on "Youtube" or something. They forget it is a plant it seems like. I just want to ask them "If they put a plant in the ground outside or in a pot and just left it there with no nutrients. Do they really think it would die or something?"

People just need to stop being satisfied with the present, always want more and better, do experiments just for the hell of it, and never stop teaching yourself.

I agree, I'm on my first indoor grow, and I've already tried 3 setups, and 3 outdoor setups I'd never tried. I've also been experimenting on the use of molasses, organic vs chem, and 12/12 from seed. I have a weakness for loving to experiment, hopefully it will serve me well in my grows...

@OP: dont know if it would work because the hormones that enitiate flowering would flow thru both sides of the tree(?) But if you can get that built and growing I would love to hear your results with it!
