shroomys winter crop lol not really but kinda

[shroomyshroom]

Actually i did do this few years back by accident. It made all the plants pre-flower and i quickly got rid of the males which was very good! Didnt really take note of any extra growth etc but they were all nice plants for sure

Wouldnt have been so good last season as it was so bloody cold!

Hoping to have a nice greenhouse up soon which will make this possible even if it is a bit on the cool side.

So plants out end of august i reckon!

id prob throw em out at the end of sep start of oct for best results.. but that being said Im in Vic so you might need to throw em out according to your state try august and see what happens.. its all fun seeing the different results.. well it is to me LOL

Shroomy, I usually have seedlings on the go early. here they begin to flower in september but I must remove the heads by the second week in october which is when reveg begins, or the heads grow out and are lost.
thanks for what you say but I 'm still not sure I 'm understanding. I 'll think on it some more ... thanks again.

wilbur anything you are unclear of let me know mate and im happy to go through it with you

It can depend a bit on the variety that your going to do it with, some skunk plants I have done this to on the past just couldn't get their shit together in time and were a massive fail they just started to reveg to late and miss their opportunity to finish in time! Gday shroomy

hi mate
id start them under lights in july put them out in august
then you get a harvest at the end of september early october
and leave all the popcorn buds to grow out
if they die you still get some smoke and/or you could take flowered clones and grow em out under light if it gets too cold

 

[shroomyshroom]

Very old man you are %100 correct this will not work out well for pure sativas and sativa dom varieties

Squiggles you got PM

In my experience monster cropping is done by having a plant under a light cycle of say 18/6 and then putting it outside, once mature, into a light cycle over 12 hours but under the initial 18, say 14/10.
The plant wants to flower because it thinks the days are getting shorter, which only naturally happens with the onset of winter, but can't because there is still not 12 hours darkness.
I'd describe it as preflowering/flowering stretch, plants tend to grow in all directions.
my first attempt:


3 months earlier, november

 

[shroomyshroom]

beautiful plant BudgetBud

monster cropping and be done many ways, the priciple is the same each way though... veg-flower-reveg-final flower

 

[SilverSurfer_OG]

Yesh nice work mate now lets plant thousands and overgrow this mofo!!!

 

[wilbur]

wilbur's only got sativa, shroomy. will wait until the good fairy puts some indica my way and look at yr idea again. cheers ...

Budgetbud ... I had a smile at all the 'guy wires' keeping yr plant in place!

 

[shroomyshroom]

Ok so here are some pics 7 days later...

As you can see the plant has grown a little bit since the last photos and has only just started to reveg its self... have given her a some worm wee from my worm bins and that's all she is getting atm.. will give her some proper veg nutes once she asks for em which i dought will be any time soon as she was re-potted in to some nice organic soil

hope you guys are enjoying this experiment

 

[High Country]

What sort of climate are you in shroomy?

 

[shroomyshroom]

in Vic HC so winterish atm.. should get full swing cold arse weather in the coming weeks.

she is grown under CFL in doors from 5pm to 9am and put out side from 9am to 5pm just trying to save on power and harden her up abit at the same time
