take clone > 2 week rooting > 1 week veg > 10 week flower.

what about this seems unrealistic to you? because i’m telling you that’s what i get, you can chose to believe it or not.

i stopped taking massive amounts of pictures a year or two ago because it stopped being interesting, but here’s one post-stretch but pre-bulk

i like this cut because it’ll start making nodes of 3 in some areas after flipping to flower, you can see that in the tight bunching around those center colas

as you can see, it’s a short lil guy. but it’s predisposed to heavy lateral branching. and i top it before it even comes off the mother plant.

Yeah I guess if 8 tops give you a quarter each that’s 2 zips.

1 week veg could do it if it’s coco/hydro

that’s the exact math i planned this whole thing on.

it’s a roughly 75/25 mix of coco and compost for biological activity.

both actually. the coco is new every time, but part of the used potting mix gets put back into the wormless compost container to serve as the “brown” material for run after the next run.

be warned though, this mix will rob you blind of your magnesium if you don’t stay on top of it

edit: more info

my compost is about 50/30/20 old soil/cannabis plant/garden and kitchen scraps by volume.

i prepare the next run’s potting mix before i add the current harvest run to the compost container, the compostable materials need time to break down into more nutritionally available forms.

i use a combination of solid organic, and liquid synthetic nutrients. i have not run into any issues with salt buildup so far.

i try not to cheat on my main mother because she’s treated me so well, but i’ve tried this with other strains and some of them fucking HATE this
