Pre Flowers

[KailuaKid]

I have some pre flowers and just wondering if this means that the plant can go into flowering?
i have pictures and will post if wanted/needed

and the light cycle is still 18/6

Having pre-flowers not only means that she's ready to start the flowering stage, but she want to too!

You're the boss, (for indoor growing) you decide when she will flower, if ever. Some people do 12/12 from seed.

 

[THC...MATOES]

agreed, your plant is spreading her legs for you. Switch that girl to 12-12 and watch the buds fill in. Of coarse you could veg longer this would only increase yields. your choice.

do people that go 12/12 from seed get less buds then people that let there plant veg??

Generally no. They compensate with a higher plant count. cn

does "yield" mean how much bud the plant will produce?

oh i see. so they are more for quantity growers then?

 

[cannabineer]

It's a different style, and I must admit i have not tried it. However as a general rule, I'd say that your yield is bounded by canopy area and light intensity. Sixteen little plants will produce about as much as four monsters. The serious indoor yield-seekers practice "sea of green", many small single-cola plants packed into an array that looks like solid bud late in flower. Yum. cn

Auto's are more for the 1-2 plant growers. They're not for yeild, they're for personal smoke.

Yeild is the total amount of bud the plant will produce, yes.

yah that makes sense, i would be leaning more to sea of green side but right now i have two plants that are older then the other i got, (it was my friends) so i think ima wait to the tops grow back then put it into flower, after i harvest is the plant done? or is there some way to reveg?

Revegging is an option, and good practice. If you want to reveg your plant, leave some growth sites on the pruned trunk(s). I have a reveg example at the end of my first grow journal here.

I plan to do sea of green when i've found my keeper pheno. i am learning how to clone. That is the secret imo to a good sea of green.

ok thanks DB, so the more you Veg the more you yield?

Per plant ... yes. cn

 

[KailuaKid]

So if i do succeed in the reveg process, haha can i flower them again or no? and if so is the THC in buds just as strong as the first time or does it lower as you keep Reveg and Re flowering?

 

[cannabineer]

Not much point in revegging if you couldn't reflower.
And you'll get the same quality bud off a reveg, or even better, since you'll have learned some of those gardening dos/don'ts that can only come with hands-on experience.
My advice (if it suits your style) is to reveg into a mother plant and take clones from her (build a cheapo DIY aerocloner out of a Rubbermaid bin). Then you can SOG a known pheno! I'm getting a special feeling just thinking about it. cn

True very true hahaha yah i gotta do more research, cause words like SOG, pheno, aerocloner just get me confused, thank god for google, but yah i just noticed some white specs on one of my leafs idk if its mold or mildew or webbing from spider mites but i haven't notice any spider mites since i've been treating for them. so just saying it is mold or mildew, how would i get rid of it? im growing in soil just incase that matters
