What are NO-No's During Flowering?

Sock

There is so much info out there that I would like to have some advice on exactly what we should NOT do once flowering has begun.. And if something is still ok up to a certain time frame, say like cloning up to week 1-2 of flowering. I am sure some of these things can have a very neg effect on the outcome.

re-potting, topping, super cropping. etc.etc..

All info in appreciated,

Peace,

Sock

They say not to repot once you've started blooming,BUT I just repotted my ladies at week 3 of bloom and have not seen any ill effects yet.
It may have to do with how green your thumb is.LOL

i know with most normal house plants they say as long as you do the transplant within a few hours of lights out it usually doesn't matter and will have no problems. i know by all means this is no ordinary house plant but in theory id say the plant itself being so hard to kill in the first place that in the worst case scenario you might just have a bit of slowed growth over the next few days. this again is my opinion but i would like to think that repotting during flowering has no effect on end results, and if it does id say its barely noticeable. also the greener the thumb the better the reaction i'd say.

....hmmmmmmm. Good question, sock. I know after watching that youtube series, you can super crop right up to a few weeks before finish. I will shift my lst'ing around a lot more as they develop buds. I know this increases the bud count, and the plants can double or even triple in size during flower so it is nesacary to keep lowering the canopy as they grow. The more light you give the buds as they develope the more they fill in. I guess it is all just what works for you.

You do not want to break the light cycle. I have also heard that some small repetative light leaks are acceptable, as pappy said this. I compare this to always having the moon or stars around outside for plants. High phosphorus nutes aid flowers. Not sure what else to tell you. I have heard of people repotting flowering plants and if you are careful, and do it well, the plants can be fine. Or they can go into shock if you frig it up. So I would suggest having them in a large container when starting flowering.

Any comments from you other peeps out there????


EDIT: LOL! we all must of answered at the same time and pretty much the same thing but I babble more! LOL! Why use one word when 10 will do?

Yes breaking the like cycle I would say is a big no-no...

I still have not done enough research on the topping/supercropping of plants though. In theory, lowering the canopy to give lights to the lower buds is 100%, but on the same token, I have read that a plant can grown another 1/3 of her hight in the first 2-3weeks of flowering, but then slows down to focus on bud production.

SO with that being said, I would think that topping 3-4 weeks into flowering would be a waist of a great bud to get 2 mediocre buds. By topping you are making the plant focus on lower limb growth, thus taking away from bud production??? Sound sorta right???LoL

Peace,

I don't top my plants that I am going to flower. I beleive the lead cola is best un cut. BUT I get the side shoots to be as high as the lead cola. Then you have all kinds of colas. I do top my mums. So I will find out how that works as well. Green Nobody tops 2 or 3 times. I think only in veg though. not in flower. by the time you flower you want to know the basic shape of the plant. Then you just keep trying to lower the buds, and keep them from scorching.

Peace

repotting, LST, super cropping can all be done in flower - but wouldn't go on with super crop. method in late flower thru as it could possibly reduce the yield as the plant uses up energy to grow a new tiny bud - which isn't worth the lost you will have on the older buds.

a big NO-NO to me is any topping or cloning once you initiated the flowering of the plants, cloning as the chance that the cone grows lower with every day in flower spend, topping as you CUT away future buds.

1.Changing light time

2. Over feeding

3. Topping

4. Transplanting

5. Not transplanting

6. over watering

7. Not feeding or watering enough

8. Temps

9.Taking cuttings for clones.

10. Wrong soil.


These can all cause your plants to stress witch can cause hermies or males or bud cola growth.

I read recently that feeding N during flower lowers the THC production; use nutes like 5-15-14 with low N content.

stressing the plant can cause hermies or male plant? I thought the sex of the plant is relative to there genes.
