To answer your first question. It is typical of this strain to produce lots of leaf, it is a very heavy budder. The mom plant also has lots of leaf, they're just not as long. She's been topped, and topped, must have around 30 heads. Has been vegging in a 3litre container for around 10 weeks. There are more main colas on the mom, so the leaves are shorter. Like us, cannabis has an amazing ability to adapt very quickly to changing environments.also, the large number of fan leaves could be an adaptaion to the amount of nutrients, the plant qould be making as many leaves as it needs to photosynthisize the nutrients it's getting, just a thought.
what was your yield from the plants you flowered too early? I know it wont be alot but if I can fit 16 plants and get 1/4 - 1/2 oz from each that will be 1/4 - 1/2 lb from all 16. It may not be as much as I could theoretically get, however, it would keep me happy for quite a while.
Yeah, I've been thinking about this method and I'm pretty sure it would work better with clones, however that small grow room I have is the only one I got for right now, and seeing as it's only about 18" between floor and bottom of lights, I can't really fit a mom in there (unless I am mistaken, in which case please let me know), not to mention I couldn't really have the one room be in 24/0 and 12/12 at same time.
Also, b/c of my height constrictions, how tall did those early-flowered plants get?
p.s. I haven't seen any sign of sex yet, which is what I expected. I did see a growth spurt, but what I figure is that obviously the plant won't start flowering until it's mature. It's just that with this method, the plant starts flowering as soon as it is able to. Of course my plants have also been through a little bit of stress with an unseasonable heatwave we had when they were a couple of weeks old. Also I had to get them out of the house for 2 days and they were in complete darkness for the time.
In regards to the plants I flowered early... I was growing grapefruit in soil, and I maxed out at 3 q's per plant... after around 14 weeks of flower. Pissed me off. i also had a low height restriction, my flowered plants cannot get past 4ft, and grapefruit is a sativa. So, as they kept stretching and stretching I had to bend the plants, and tie them etc just so they'd fit. The reason I flowered them early was because they were feminised seed anyway, so I just picked the strongest for a mom, and threw the rest into flower. It's hard just growing with one room, I've never done it... as I actually started growing for commercial reasons, although now it is just a hobby... but you do need two spaces, one for veg' the other for flower. The great thing about a veg' space is that it doesn't need to be very big. You could have one in your closet.
Seed plants don't really matter, only in as much as finding the mom you want to keep. After that happens, the seed plants can go into flower. You can even take clones and put the mom straight in too, raise one of her clones as a new mom plant. 2 rooms is something you should be working hard to achieve.
