How important is it to wait for alternating nodes before switching to 12/12, some branches are alternating but the main stem is not.. Any opinions? /monthly_2011_06/57a6cc480fc3c_Sevenweeks.jpg.453057c0f5d2d8f7abf9ca2db4a2815b.jpg
Depends on what you looking to do man, me sometimes i do it cause i want to know sex quick...im after clones so..... But when they alternate they are bigger and mature and in stead of a lot of stem with buds at each node you end up with one big bud growing along the stem so Yield is up, partly of course because the plants bigger and for the above mentioned reason. However if you look at my pics you will see monsters that went 4 weeks No alternation at all we hauled in a bunch Good luck
Alternating Nodes Thanks folks I value your input Toker 2, great photos and I bet the smoke was killer
you will generally always get your alternating nodes on the side branches before the main stem. Alternating nodes anywhere means shes ready
