Well, if you have to start the whole thing from point zero, a packet of beans...
* 3-5 days to sprout seeds
* 6-8 weeks under veg lighting to raise seedlings to sexual maturity (preflowers forming at nodes)- cut back growing tips a few times to force plants to branch out, so to provide a quantity of stems for cuttings
* About 1 week to sex plants- either shade one branch for 12h/day for about a week or take a cutting from each mum, wait 7-10 days for cuts to root, about a week under 12/12 to sex them
(if starting from known female mums, the cycle begins here)
* Take first batch of cuttings from the now known to be female mothers, wait 7-10 days for roots to develop; profuse root formation occurs by approx day 14 from cutting; fits the 'every-2-weeks' cutting & harvest schedule rather nicely
* First batch of rooted clones goes in to flower; they'll be ready to harvest in 8 weeks
* In about 2 weeks, mother plants will have regrown, ready for another batch of cuttings. Take second batch of cuttings.
* In ~14 days, the second batch of cuttings will have profuse roots and can go into flower. They will be ready to harvest in 8 weeks.
* In about 2 weeks, mother plants will have regrown, ready for another batch of cuttings. Take third batch of cuttings.
* In ~14 days, the third batch of cuttings will have profuse roots and can go into flower. They will be ready to harvest in 8 weeks.
* In about 2 weeks, mother plants will have regrown, ready for another batch of cuttings. Take fourth batch of cuttings.
* In ~14 days, the fourth batch of cuttings will have profuse roots and can go into flower. They will be ready to harvest in 8 weeks.
* All flowering trays are now full and the cycles repeat. On introduction of the 5th batch into the flowering area 14 days later, the 1st batch is mature and ready to harvest. Exery 2 weeks, a batch goes in and a batch is harvested.

THanx again Al, seems everyone misses those first three months. Five months from seed to weed, thats what I say. VV

I learned the same technique from an old BoG post. Yet I mentioned it somewhere on here and everyone said I was retarded...

It's functionally difficult to shade a single branch effectively without hurting the branch. I found a tube made from a bit of rolled-up and stapled weedcloth (woven polypropylene fabric, moisture permeable, used under mulch or gravel in gardens) works pretty well. Lets moisture through so the branch doesn't get trashed from excess humidity, blocks enough light to make the sex reveal.
Yep, I wrote the initial piece in this thread presuming one already had mother plants established. Getting mums going is a bit time consuming; if you are lucky enough to be able to buy clones i.e. from a med pot place, you save a lot of time. Once the pipeline is loaded, the twice monthly output is brilliant.
ha ha! I guess you haven't worked out that I'm in really in league with the aliens.Thanks for this Al. I'm glad you're on our side.
Torchwood will be coming after me any minute now...
Nah, I just know the rotating SoG system pretty well- and I hunt-n-peck at pretty close to 90wpm.

Thanks.
I've not used it. I do use Canna's PK1314 for 1 week at 0.5ml/litre in week 3 of flowering only.
I have used Canna's stuff for many years with high reliability. If, however, Boost is primarily sugar based, I'd be doubtful. Knowing Canna, I suspect there's more to it than just sugars, but I just don't know. Their website kinda sucks too- doesn't tell you much. I've found precious little evidence for sugars (ie molasses) being able to pass the root barrier.
On the reputation of their other products, I might give it a go, but at $105 per bottle, it better make the plants jump up & kiss my arse. I'd be a lot more tempted to try it if Canna gave a general idea of what is in the stuff.
I really have a deep dislike for "magic sauces," those hugely expensive bottles of mystery goo whose hawkers vaguely claim to turn your molehills into mountains. Sellers of magic sauces can hit me with the science- or piss off. There's too many abject frauds out there, including those sauces claiming to contain things of dubious use to cannabis plants like molasses, beeswax, etc etc. It really takes no more than nutrient and H2O2 to run an op very well, thank you.
I give most folks little help, you're no different.
I don't mind discussing general concepts but I'd like to avoid designing other folks' ops from top to bottom or hand-holding them through a grow. It's just too taxing on my limited time. It's why I have PMs disabled. Remember, I'm a slacker and I'm running a very productive op. There's enough info on room construction and general theory of growing cannabis all over this board to get anyone through who can take the time to read the stuff. In terms of troubleshooting, there's folks on here who are much better at diagnosing stuff than I am, too. See potroast, he knows everything (please don't kill me pottie....
).

LS, you asked:
You simply gave me a fine oppty to be a bit of a smartarse. Thanks for the free kick.
...when you probably intended to say:
The two sentences have markedly different meanings, don't they?

It is good stuff, but you do have to use it by the label directions. PK1314 gets used in flowering week 3, for 1 week only, not at the end of flowering.

ive got the bottle here.
it says
. add pk13/14 3 weeks before harvesting,to a full nutrition tank in the following.
suppose it depends on what strain you have, as to when you start to give, some strains take longer than others.
so if a plant took 8 week, you would start to give at week 5.
