JCIO DWC C99 from seed.

When I first started with the quality seeds, which weren't femmed, I grew each till alternating nodes then took the bottom branches of each for clones. I was in a big hurry to get them in flower. If they weren't showing sex by then they were in a couple days of flower.


I trashed the males and their clones and kept the best looking plants for mothers and went clone crazy. Soon I had more vegging plants than I had room to flower and was over run with them.


That's the great thing about clones, they're alternating from the start and can be flowered as soon as they're well rooted and there's space in the flower room.


Be Cool, CG

 

I will be tagging along and watching how she grows. I love DWC and its all I do indoors anymore. looking good.

Got my hammock up.

 

My last run was some Bubblicous clones and did not have to train or take time. they grew so fat they wanted to lay down. It was like raising hogs.


Thats when I fell in love with DWC, Made me want to throw dirt clods at anyone saying DWC is difficult.

 

:roffl:


Those are some gorgeous babies.

 

Your alternating nodes will be growing from the bottom. Your tops are already grown.

 

When I grow from seed, and I see even one alternating node on a plant anywhere, I consider it ready to flip. I don't know if that's technically correct or not, but it's my way of interpreting "When you see alternating nodes the plant is mature and ready to flower."


I'd say flower at will, whenever you feel like they are the size you want.


Also I have heard that lower branches clone easier. Not seen a difff myself.

 

Basicaly just because it's newer. fresher growth compared to "woody" older growth.


Plus if your ready for flower, who wants to cut off your higher bud sites?

 

Good question JCIO. I dunno cuz I usually only top once when they are clones too. I am calling it "topping" when I cut off a stalk at a node to level the canopy, but that's different than what I do to top them when they are clones.


The main purpose of topping is to cause the plant to release a hormone that causes it to focus growth energy on side branches. I think I "top" in flower more to shape the plant than to get it to grow more branches. That being said, if you want to top a side branch, do it.

 

Lookin good. What's with the blunted leaves?


You are using the GH 3 part I think - which schedule you using?

 

Unless I'm removing the undergrowth, I "top" the side branches(leaving a node or two) when taking clones to produce more budding sites and end up with a little bushier plant.


After some new growth starts I put them into flower and don't mess with trimming anymore unless, i see some scraggly shit at the bottom.

 

They really took off dude. Nice:thumbs-up:

 

:LOL: that's FIMMING
