Good morning? early afternoon everyone. @Frankthetank Glad to here your seedlings are doing great, Tag me in on that grow please. I'm going to tryMC on my 3rd auto grow, Second grow already 13 days old babies so too late to switch now

Honestly...I switched to mc around the 20 day mark on my two oldest plants and they only got healthier. On my way to tag you in my grow now..

G'morning all! Random question, anyone ever done a bonsai with their mj?

Some would say all my plants are bonsai even when I try too grow the big

Thanks Frank and Cool Hairyman

I do believe you want to talk to my good friend @Savage Garden .....he seems to be the bondage master

Thanks! I'll have to check him out. I saw an article in one of my old Skunk Mags about 'Bonsai Mothers' and it got my tinker tinkin'.

Is it @Rev. Green Genes that's the actual horticulturist or botanist? It's one of those guys... Maybe @pop22 is the one I'm thinking of that made the post about it, and it piqued my interest... So I tested it on two gorilla glue4s.
There was no difference in anything between the two, Asides from one being leafier than the other. Both have the same taste, smell and buzz.
Flush vs. No Flush = something folks will argue about for ages lmao

Ok, yes I have a BS in plant science. I work in the horticulture field. And @pop22 is famous for being against flushing, I happen to agree with him fully.

From a plant physiology perspective:

Leaf senescence is best explained by fall leaf colors. When the reproductive stage is nearing completion, and the environmental variables start towards fall the process called senescence starts. The plant begins to scavenge all it's nutrients stores throughout the plant and send it to reproductive and energy storage compounds. All mobile nutrients are reassigned. The leaves usually turn color because the plant is getting ready for dormancy or death. In cannabis, it knows it is about to die, so it pulls those nutrients to reproductive systems.

So flushing triggers this system early. As I understand what people want from flushing, it's a better taste to the smoke. They think because they are not adding nutes their smoke will be closer to pure. I call BS. If you want to effectivly remov nutes from the system the only way to do it is to remove leaves. Flushing will just reduce photosynthesis, reduce water uptake, slow down bud and trichome growth, and you still end up with extra minerals and stress compounds in the buds.

That's my two cents.

It's amazing how they react to being tied down!

Sorry @Frankthetank I know it probably would do nothing but benefit the plants, but Ive always been one to stick to the original plan, Yet another one of my many downfalls
